Cheap wire photo lot Ruth Mantle Robinson Maris Hornsby

Below is what's left. I want to sell it as a lot - $60 delivered for the lot of five pictures. Four are shown below, the fifth is a picture of Rogers Hornsby packing a suitcase (he's old in this picture... I know it's random).

An original wire photo taken in 1938 of Base Ruth with another Babe, Babe Guillermo. On the back of the photo is the caption for the photo as it was in the news. The photo measures 6”x8”.

    Brian - I know you sold your 1965 Topps set awhile back - Do you happen to have any high grade, very high grade, raw or PSA slabbed 1965 Topps embossed that you wanna sell?

    I'm not a photograph collector but it seems to me like these are a steal at these prices.
  • Hey Steve,

    Sorry I don't have any of those 1965 embossed cards. I really don't have many cards at the moment. After my couple year hiatus I'd like to get back into the hobby but for cash flow purposes, I need to sell some stuff before buying.

    I think the photos are priced well. I'd prefer to sell them as a lot (willing to discount from individual prices). Prices realized on eBay can be all over the place. It's definitely a beauty in the eye of the beholder kind of thing so auction format may be wiser (I was just feeling lazy at the time). I'll probably list them next week.

    I listed my Joe D Monroe pics on eBay in fixed price format with the OBO option here and here. I think they somewhat compare to this and this respectively.

  • updated to reflect what's left - not many cards, but lots of pictures.
  • I ebayed them - end tonight
