Interesting video at the bottom.

It may be a rare piece, but without the photo's of Booth, Herold and Surratt I wouldn't want it.
Interesting video.
Not being an expert on this, I would have guessed by the time this was being printed, Booth and Herod had been caught so the printing process was stopped before they would have added the photos.
That, and it looks in too good of condition.

I did not know they are only about 20 in existence.

I agree with you Gene- without the photos I wouldn’t want it anyway.

It sold for $275,000

Wow!
Glad it was out of my price range.
I have one of those reproduction wanted posters (with photos) you can buy at the souvenir shops I bought as a kid. It might bring $5

The Heritage auction that included Blaine Houmes' collection was well received. My friend Curtis Linder (worked with me at Arlington) shared that Blaine's family were very pleased with the proceeds. JWB's walking stick pulled $65,000 which was less than expected.

What an artifact! JWB’s walking stick. Can’t even imagine owning that.
