He Paid Only $2 for The Old Picture at a Flea Market.

The man who discovered a valuable and rare photograph of Billy the Kid playing croquet has some advice for those who want to find treasure: go disturb.

On Monday, Randy Guijarro told the Guardian “Because so many treasures have been lost, I hope this inspires others to dig through their trunks and attics.”

The 45-inch photograph was taken in 1878, and a small detail shows Billy the Kid playing croquet on the left.

A $2 find at a thrift store turned into a million-dollar croquet picture of Billy the Kid.
In 2010, Guijarro went to an antique store in Fresno, California, and bought a four-by-five-inch pewter type and two other images from a cardboard box for $2. At the moment, it is worth millions of dollars.

According to the telecommunications technician and his wife, Linda, they intend to use a portion of the earnings to fund additional travel.

“We might benefit from a new car.”

We would like to look for parts of history that have been forgotten, both in the United States and around the world.

Going on adventures is fun for us. The hunt is an absolutely magnificent occasion.
said. He was leaning on a croquet stick, his attitude, and his hat were all to blame. I reasoned, “Oh my god, it’s Billy the Kid.”

He refers to Linda as a “sweet, sensible woman” when she was called and questioned by other regulatory agencies.

She found two other croquet players on the Web, Tom O’Folliard and Charlie Bowdre. ” It was simply incredible,” Guijarro continued.

With the assistance of researchers, collectors, experts in facial recognition, and other specialists, they were eventually able to identify all 18 people in the picture as well as the schoolhouse in Chavez County, New Mexico, where the remains of the deceased were discovered.

It was observed that the shot was taken after a wedding in 1878, just a month after the band was engaged with a ridiculous clash in Lincoln District.

Kagin’s Inc., a numismatics business with headquarters in California, has insured it for $5 million and is looking for a private buyer.

Guijarro continued, “We don’t count our chickens until they hatch, but there’s a lot of curiosity.”

As well as purchasing another vehicle, he and Linda plan to cover bills, help loved ones, and begin plans for future expeditions.

He asserts that because they sell virtually everything they encounter, they are not hoarders. We’d be sitting on hundreds acres of other stuff.” It all comes down to going on a hunt.”
