Kudos to Troy for having it authenticated even more. As a follow up, I am told that the SGC folks spoke with the Lelands folks and the issue Lelands had might have been more with the printing on the back of it than the photo itself. Sending it to a photo expert for re-evaluation is certainly a smart move. The piece will do much better in auction when all doubt is cleared.

That's a whole different story from 'xerox photo' or 'inkjet printer' - significantly different.

<< As far as the 99 cent auction speculation, it is true that my seller did put it on ebay and was offered pretty good sums of money to end it. However he is an intelligent man who buys and sells for a living and decided to find out what he had. He then decided to sell the card to his partner. It was his partner who sent it to Leland's for their auction. >>

These two folks wouldn't happen to live in Cincinnati, would they?

Brian--that one slipped by.

I really don't follow 19th century cards, but let's just say this turns out to be real, - which I hope it does.

What would this card be worth, $30K, or is my guess way off?

Any info is appreciated.

I'll guess 50K.
