Holy Mother of God!  This is staggering. This seller is asking for $675 for this crappy copy of the Altgens photo. Why would anyone pay that? What for? What are they getting? You can find better quality versions of the Altgens photo than this for free. 



I pointed out that the right side of the image was cropped, and it shows less of Clint Hill than the published versions.


If Clint Hill got clipped in the photo which was sent out, how could the Birmingham newspaper give him more pixels than he came with? 

This is what the seller said, that AP photographer James Altgens too this UPI Telephoto. But, aren't the AP and UPI two different and competing news organizations? Or is he claiming that in addition to newspapers, that the AP sent it to UPI? 
   ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER 
                                                     JAMES W. ALTENS TOOK THIS UPI TELEPHOTO

He's saying that it's a photo used in newspapers. But, if it's a photo, how could it be so bad? Altgens' photo didn't come out that bad. 

Look, if alarm bells aren't going off inside your head right now about this, something is wrong with you.
