Help ID'ing and Valuing This Babe Ruth Photo

[FrankWakefield]

I don't think that photo is worth very much at all... as in less than $5. I'm in line with Dan Mc on this one. Maybe someone else has a higher opinion of it. Sorry. Wish you well with it.

The image is a Thompson Photo circa 1921

There are two original type 1 photos known of this image. Interesting both have "Babe" en route to the plate "Batter Up" written on the Reverse in Thompson's hand

The example shown here is a cropped example 2nd generation that was made to look old.

Make that three known original TYPE 1 Photos Doug.

I traded for this one a few weeks ago. Had posted it in this months pick-up thread on the memorabilia side.
