The value is that it's a clean example of an 1860s baseball CDV. Pre-1870 baseball photos are rare. I'd say it's a fair price. There's nothing special about the player, his equipment or team, just a clean example of a CDV from the early time period. The player image is real sharp, which of course is a plus. Notice the wooden stand behind him, which made him stand still for the camera.

If you had sniped the winner and won it for a bit more, it would have been a nice pickup.
