Jay,

No, I would not have bid as much had I known the actual condition. There were several other lots I would have focused on instead. There were some truly amazing Negro League photos in that auction. I still might have gotten it, but if I'd won any of the other lots I would not have been able to afford bidding as much, even if I wanted to.


Harry,

I thought those flaws that were mentioned in the description were all visible in the image they posted. I noticed multiple creases, mostly near the left edge and left top border. I was also not bothered by the corner damage since it was barely visible in the image I was looking at. I had no idea they'd actually cropped that whole flaw completely out of the image in the catalog and on the website. I did factor all of those flaws into my decision on how much to bid.
