Re: $300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

Yeah, I looked through tons of pictures right after the first post in this thread, but pretty much every one that I found was unclear or one stone (like almost all the ones that have been posted in this thread).

I really don't think that you're going to be able to find a clear match because there just wasn't the clarity in pictures like there is today.

Just my opinion

Re: $300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

well if you want a match can you show us some unique distinguishing feature on the ring? your photos don't really show much detail either, just a general looking ring that style matches general photos.

I think he means one that should without a doubt that it is a two stone ring. Most the pictures aren't clear enough to really tell, and it appears he also wore a single stone ring, like the one in the link below, at some point at least.

Still no perfect matches....I'm not really sure why the post was moved to General Discussion? I've never even been on this page before and I assume most others haven't either......oh well?

I have a wire photo of course this is a picture of a picture and the quality is garbage but i have the original in my possession i dont have a scanner or i would try to scan it in but the ring looks almost identical. The photo is of Will Rogers and Babe Ruth at the Boston Childrens Hospital its from 1929.

WOW....Thanks for all your help guys!

I still have 100's and 100's of photos to get through and the response has been incredible! So far Josh has come up with something very interesting. Does anyone technologically savy know how to enlarge something without the distortion?

Thats not to say that there aren't any better photos submitted...I just haven't gotten through them yet.

One thing I know with 100% certainty....This is Babe Ruth's ring and he did in fact wear it.

Here is a cool video:

Re: $300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

a ring that old looks very new, did it get restored or touched up?

Re: $300 Cash Reward for Babe Ruth Photomatch.

I think we all just desperately want $300 - which would likely then be inserted back in the hobby for purchase of something game-used

Not to be a jerk, but I'm not sure how you could "photomatch" a ring. Style match, possibly.

Maybe its my definition of a photomatch.

Anyway, good luck in your search.
