Hey everyone. So we all hear those stories of baseball cards found in some old ladies garage or someones great great grandfather has passed down a Babe Ruth signed ball etc.
Well this is one of those stories. My buddies father Great uncle passed him down a signed Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig photo! We are going to a James Spence authenticator on Saturday to have it authenticated. He is sure it will come up as authentic as someone in the family got it many years ago themselves.
My question is after its authenticated whats everyones suggestion for getting maxium profit/exposure?
Should we use ebay and use every one of there bells and whistle listings with many pictures? Ones that get it as a featured item and all that jazz?
Or should he use an auction house? If so which auction house is local enough to the DC/Maryland area that is going to have an auction soon?
I am trying to help him sell it and Im sure I could set him up a nice ebay auction but I am not sure if that method would get him the most money?
Any help on the best way to sell this photo for my buddy would be apperciated.
Also if anyone is interested in tracking the photos progress once we figure out a method/means to sell it hit me up via email and I will let you know which way we choose.
Thanks
Brian
