Still a cool item but if it cost the buyer more than a few hundred bucks it was probably too much but hey, I overpay for things I want all the time so that is subjective, but I would value it around $200-$300 at the most.

After looking at it, I agree 100%.

I like Lelands and probably win more things from them then any other auction house I bid on..........but you really have to do your research with their photographic offerings.

This is not a unique occurrence...................with them or any sports auction house I know of in regards to vintage photos. The same research that's put into cards and other memorabilia, doesn't seem to be put into vintage photos.

And that's the Matty "White Cap, Black Box" variation.
