I know that I have been able to pick up photos in auction for 50% of what I was willing to pay and other photos that I really wanted have gone for 5X what I was expecting. They are a very emotional collectible and what appeals to each of us is usually very personal.
Yes, and in the case of this one in particular, considering both its incredible historical significance and apparent singularity, I don't see how it could be considered overpriced almost no matter what it went for. As I said before, it struck me as a serious bargain.
