Leon- I never would have guessed! Great pick up. I'm a little in shock right now.

I'm glad you got it, Leon. You will always know there is another good home willing to take it off your hands, if you lose interest.

I think the purchase price was reasonable. I remember another 1860s game action photo selling for over $3,000 years back, and at the time I thought it was undervalued if anything.
The game image on Leon's new CDV is hard to beat. Lots of detail and character. Other 1860s game action photos I have seen, though bigger, showed the game at a further distance and with less detail. One showed the inside grounds of a Civil War fort, with soldiers marching in front and a game going on in the background. Fascinating overall no doubt, but the game was in the distance. So it's very possible yours is the nicest and most detailed image wise of the game. Whether you collect 1860s CDVs or Greta Garbo press photos, the value and desirability is much based on the quality of the image itself-- clarity, character, pose, content, artistry--, and I think the image on the CDV is grade A. There's a reason Ken Burns used it in his book and I assume the documentary. Last edited by drc; 03-25-2013 at 02:12 PM.

I was watching it & figured Gary would be in on it. I agree with Gary that it dates to 1866-67 at the earliest. The image is fantastic. I think what kept me from bidding was that it depicts kids instead of adults. Nevertheless, very nice pick-up Leon.
