It sold recently at Hunts to a Board Member.

So I wonder if the forum member destroyed it or they sold it and someone else did it.

The two photos appear to be two different prints.

So you think the little black and white spots were on the negative and not the print.

To me, they appear to be to different prints with variances in contrast... Unless the "halo" effect around his shoulders could be caused by a scan... That seems unlikely to me.

I still own my copy of this photo, btw. Ariev from eBay was the one who consigned that one to Mile High along with some of his other big sets like play all and e121. You may be able to ask him how he got it.
