Yeah, 10K seems highly optimistic. I thought it drew a pretty strong price for what it actually sold for IMO.

If more boxers had been positively identified in the paperwork I think it would have been more valuable. I asked the seller how many were identified and he said about 40%, but judging from the sheets he scanned I think it was closer to 30% or even less.

Still, an amazing piece from a historical perspective.
