I just caught the last half of this item on the Antiques Roadshow that was on last night. Can't even tell you what city they were in. Some guy brought in a photo of the 1929 A's standing in a horizontal line with Connie Mack in the center. There was also a batboy kneeling in front of Mack. Every player and the batboy autographed the picture. Only Mack's autograph was missing.

The lady appraising it was just about jumping up and down. The photo and the signatures were in "near mint" condition according to her. She valued it at $20K to $30K and said if the right combination of bidders showed up no telling what it would bring.

....to pay 30K for that ,unless it is for a museum, is inane.
