Vanskyock24, I have had this previously valued at $40.
Scott, I am not sure how many other antique photos I have right now (I usually sell most of them within a week of purchasing them). However, when I get some more (hopefully in the next few days), I will post them.
Thanks
I look forward to seeing them.

I do have a story about the best photo I ever had though. A few years ago I was given (yes 1-2 buck guy I was GIVEN) a Victorian photo album filled with photos. Inside was a cabinet card of a white man who had painted his face black and was playing a stringed instrument (the man w/ his face painted black was the main picture and the regular picture of him was a corner). I was new to online auctions so I offered it at fr $25 BIN. Within seconds (literally!) it was sold. I have always regretted selling it like that.
Thanks bratjdd!
