OLD BABE RUTH ORIGINAL PHOTO

soccer7127

This is a photo that has been in my family for years. My grandpa worked for the Post Dispatch in which this ended up in the paper. This photo is from the world series where Babe Ruth promised to hit a home run for a kid that was sick and his 3rd home run went out of Sportsman Park and thru the dealerships window where he took a picture with the ball outside a few days later. My question is. does anyone know what this could be worth? I would imagine it is a Type 1 photo. the name of the person who took the photo is on the back along with I guess who they worked for. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

No idea the value but that is pretty cool!

You might want to check the net54 forums. There’s a lot of knowledge there on that sort of thing.
