Some really great stuff would get ended early on Ebay and I didn't know why. Then a few years later the guy who was asking for my opinions on signatures came to me trying to sell me all the stuff that ended early on Ebay at a marked up price. Not everyone is a nice guy so you protect yourself.

Here is the full photo. It sold for almost $800 without the juice. Too rich for me.
I don't think you missed out. It is a nice big photo, but a very common image and the lack of a unique inscription + the paper loss on the photo makes me think this one went for too much $$$.
