Appreciate the input. I asked the seller a question about the item, but have yet to see a response. They’re wanting around $100 for the pic so I’ll be passing unless a steep reduction in the cost which I don’t think will happen.

On a side note I look forward to receiving the Brooksie picture from a recent auction 😃
