Good luck to our RMY Auction friends this evening. That number one lot is a museum piece!! (I took the liberty of copying this to the front page from the memorabilia section)

Would love to pick up one photo but NO IDEA of value and fair price of any....And lot of such photos sold in past may or may not be type ones, may or may not have Conlon stamp (probably not), very hard to figure....Any guidelines?

A starting bid of $25 and an ending price of $77,000!! Congrats to RMY, the consignor and the new owner.

Was watching that one myself. Amazing! Is that the highest recorded price for a type 1 sports-related photo (or any photo for that matter)?
