As I have collected cards, historic newspapers, and other artifacts, the holy grail for me was to obtain a contemporary image of Billy The Kid while he was still alive. There is only one known photograph of him, so really this very rare woodcut form an 1881 issue of the Illustrated Police News is the only way to obtain my Grail. Note that it is the same image of the lone famous photo.

This was the only card that I put in a toploader when I was a kid. I remember purchasing it from a baseball card store in a mall for some obscene sum like $50-60. When I re-entered the hobby a few years ago, managed to find it at my parents' home and had it holdered for protection.

Only 2 known to exist. This one resides in my 1961 Fleer Hoops Signed set.

Down to only needing 12 signed cards out of the 66 card set. Currently the #1 signed 1961 Set on the PSA/DNA Registry!

Just FYI - a second verified photo of Billy the Kid was found recently. Google Billy the Kid photo and you should be able to find an article about it. Some guy bought it in a Fresno shop for $2 and now it's worth millions.

I read a loooong maxazine article about this photo while burning time in Barnes n Nobel recently . Its veracity ( as to depicting the Kid) is very much in question. Interesting stuff, but not verified.

Have you seen the video / tv show on it? It's pretty convincing proof
