Probstein did have his Josh Gibson photo that he is selling for $300k obo on eBay. I also saw a large team photo in a frame of the famous Dominican Ciudad Trujillo. The famous team that was recruited by the Dictator via Satchel Paige for $30k in 1937. I guess that is why this stuff gets gobbled up a pretty high premium as it is really not plentiful.

I also saw that Trujillo photo, but only by default. While I was looking at some cases at the booth someone was inquiring about it. The owner was pointing out the various players. I believe the quoted price was in the mid to high five figures or low 6 figures. It was not in my collecting focus so not all of the conversation stuck with me. I do believe the customer was serious about purchasing it as they did ask the owner if they would entertain an offer if it was still there on Sunday.
