Yes another photo which "Maybe an undiscovered

What a great find Betty.
And since you found it first, I won't bid against you Rolleyes

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

And it's only $500. Great buy if it were the real JWB!

Sure must be! JWB wouldn't have been caught drunk at a New Year's bash in that hat!

I feel sorry for whoever buys that photo, especially for THAT much and worse, for it not actually being JWB! :/

That maybe the hat he dropped on the stage. If so, I know where it is. It is in the collection of Party City.

You're probably right, Rich! He carried it in his saddle bags as well...that's why it appears so rumpled - HA! Big Grin

Someone put way too much effort into creating a really bad fake, complete with phony FBI documentation!

But did he sign it with lipstick?
