With the threads on the original photo used in the 1952 Topps Mantle card going on (
Link and
Link), it got me thinking of what would be the most valuable original photo from baseball, if it still existed? I believe it is known that the Horner photo for the T206 Wagner still exists. How about the photos used to create other iconic cards such as:
Baltimore News Ruth
M101-4/5 Ruth
Just So Cy Young
T210 Jackson
Would these photos (or others) break 100K?
Edit: Caveat is that it would be known that these photos used to exist (for example, they were known to have created a card) rather than fantasy photos.
