9. Billy the Kid (1880) Tintype Portrait – $2,300,000
This here is Billy The Kid. And this photo of Billy sold at auction for $2.3 million on June 2011, from Brian Lebel’s Old West Show and Auction. 130 years ago, legendary outlaw Billy the Kid had his “picture made” in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, posing for what is now considered the most recognizable photo of the American West. A single, original tintype is the only authenticated photo of the Kid in existence today.
