Rube Burrows Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 With it being estimated to have a sale price of 500,000 the photo went much higher. I figured it would go well over a million. The Wagner baseball card goes a million plus and this has such a more colorful history. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_18355319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I got outbid...by about $1,999,999.00! Oh, well... Article I read explained about the misconception about Billy being lefthanded caused by the tintype image being reversed. (Actually, he was lefthanded. He just had him a custom-built lefthanded Winchester '73! ) Ride easy, but stay alert! Godspeed to those still in harm's way in the defense of Freedom everywhere! God Bless America!
