Hailed as one of the best baseball teams of all time, a team photo of the 1927 New York Yankees (Murderer’s Row) has been sold for a whopping $350,000.
The anonymous buyer is the second anonymous buy of the photograph in the last three years. Memory Lane Inc. sold the autographed picture for $206,000 in 2006.
The 30-man team is matched by 30 authentic autographs (declared by Joe Orlando, President of PSA/DNA Authentication Services) that make this picture a relic in the sports world.
With stars like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, this might be the most significant sports artifact in the history of any game.
