With a little over one hour to go I found an original Pete Rose family photo that was given to a writer and now up for bid on ebay. An unbelievable photo of a little league age Rose posing with a stance that will not change much in the years that will come:

It's currently at $268 and I think(like him or not)-historically significant.

I believe Pete still appears at Field of Dreams in Las Vegas at The Forum Shops a few times a month. I bet if someone bought that photo and gave it to him he'd spend the night at the race book with them in return. :)

I don't know much about photos..Is that a market value for a piece like that?

I don't really know. I do know I've never seen a photo like like before let alone an original. If a dumb-ass mass produced framed and matted photo signed by the Yankess can sell for $2,000 in the Yankee Store on 5th Avenue in NYC ,I would GUESS that this photo is worth many more times that and acquired for a bargain.
