    well not exactly original. This is a contemporary reprint known as "L. Brown" version due to the wording about Lincoln's appearance. from an upcoming auction

    I think its a good pick. This version in good condition has sold for $8k and I think as much as $10k. Did you ask them what condition its in? Is it glued down to board or something? I guess that would be a concern

    Does not look glued down, but very pressed. Hard to tell which version it is. Do you think it was printed well after?
