2500 for a VG copy? I have dealt with this seller before and he is a bit shady. Crazy though

This guy on eBay claims his photo is one-of-a-kind. Anyone know anything about it?

There has been discussion recently on this forum about this early photo shoot. It appeared there were at least 2 photographers. One shooting some documentary behind the scenes while the other produced band shots. I think it was Billy Name & Stephen Shore or Nat F.

I don't know how he can say its the only one of its kind when they don't even know who's work it is, thats just ridiculous! At that price the seller should be taking the photo out of the frame to check for marks/signatures, if its decent it will be signed/stamped, pretty lazy if you ask me..
Just a guess but the Ebay one it doesn't look like a Name shot.

Photo by Billy Name (only one of its kind on this post) ; )

Wow! This guy listed his set of 44 VUAS Afterhours tapes for $550.00 with a $750.00 BuyItNow. No sale. He relisted it and someone bought it for the $750!! I showed it to Mike Kostek and he said "Maybe I need to fire up the cassette recorder: unreal! :shock: I have 21 cassettes; maybe it's time to let them go.

is this a Billy Name photo? I would be excited if it was because I have a print! I thought it was Stephen Shore, but i don't have any of his books, so not sure...

ah! great! obviously mine doesn't have the stamp, so may not be from the original neg, but print is quite old, looks to be from the 80s.
