Good to know! It's scary to think that one person's eye could make the difference like that. And thank goodness, it wasn't mine!!
I watched some of the auction, and IMO, it seemed like a thrown together production. A "Type 3" photo from the DiMaggio estate was listed and sold as a "Type 1". I was impressed with the selection, however.
