I haven't quite figured out what makes this card at least ten times more expensive than most other cards of the same ilk.

The Jewish angle?

I think it is a matter of the seller dreaming big, I suspect that is how he got the Jewish angle as well, I can not tell if the soldier is circumsized in this photo. Opps, I read the discription, it came from a Jewish estate, cool, if that raises the price, then everything I have in my collection came frome a Jewish estate, because that is the only thng that could even suggest that it might have a Jewish connection, unless the finger print in the middle of the photo can be identified:)

My entire collection came out of a Martian estate sale. It is far more valuable than this. I would be willing to sell some of my pictures at the same price just because I am a nice guy. :hello2: :hello2:
 
Hey Joe, if you need help backing that up, I will issue a certificate of authenticity to back that up, I have noticed on ebay, things with a certificate of authenticity always have a higher price.
 
Idiotic. The guy must think its the only photo on the planet. Who cares about the soldier being jewish. That means nothing during the Great War.
 
Besides that, there is no connection to him being Jewish, Hugo was a fairly common name.:)

ps You will nitice that he has lowered his price onece already

See why mine is so valuable–none of them are from this planet! I would even offer a bulk discount 10 cards of my picking for only $1000! Preshow special. :love3: :love3: :happy9:
 
It gets better ...

Ebay allowed sellers to list items for free this past week or so, I suspect he listed these with a outlandish price with the hopes that some one was stoopid:)

Indeed, Tony, it tells us more about the mind of the seller!

Hey Pierre, I think you might have a good point there.
