Boys,
Check out auction #2264945709 . I'll make no comments so you'll have to decide for yourself.

Let's say, just for giggles, that this guy REALLY thinks he has a photo worth 30 million...

Would you put the dadgum thing on eBay!?!?!!?

I can't imagine he will get any bids other than some smart a** who isn't really serious. If the photo is genuine I would think going through one of the famous auction houses that deal in this sort of thing would make more sense. Probably wouldn't be as cheap for the seller as Ebay though. I don't know what this stuff usually brings but I would be surprised if it would bring $30,000.

It's a hoax. If it were real and had been authenticated by a reputable house, the word of it's exsistance would have been making the rounds by now.

I want it. Let me check my bank account. .....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
No, I don't have 30.000.000$ for the moment. :oops: Maybe within 250 years I'll be able to buy this priceless piece. (I hope the price hasn't gone up by then! :roll: )

"you will notice that the photo is cropped at the top, and the Rosenthall photo is not"

So something REMOVED/NOT THERE is now used to evidence of orginality!

Methinks it would be better the other way around.. I.e Rosenthall image cropped NOT HIS!
