Non-sport, but one of my favorite original photos. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor (Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson-- he famously abdicated the throne as King of England in 1936 to marry her, an American divorcee) and their dog. The couple were famous pug lovers and had many of them, and their affection for this particular dog is obvious. The photo was by Patrick Litchtfield, a famous photographer, one of the official royal photographers and a Lord in his own right. It appears he laid down on the ground to take this shot. The photo is from the early '60s, fairly small (can't recall specifically, but smaller than 8x10"), and I sold it for $300+, most of the value due to the fame of the photographer and the presence of his stamp on back. Not bragging, just thought you'd be interested what something like this would go for.
