In Denver this week, the only known surviving picture of Billy the Kid was sold at auction for $2.3 million dollars. A private collector named William Koch bought the tintype picture for his own collection. The piece was the most expensive that was ever sold at that show.
I can see why the man bought the picture. Billy the Kid has been a huge part of American folklore and will probably always be. The picture is thought to have been taken in 1879 or 1880 at the fort summer in New Mexico.
