They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. But words aren’t the sole currency to quantify its worth. Some pictures cost millions of dollars, and also a photograph of Billy the Kid seen in a thrift shop is a good example of that.

Billy the Kid was a legend of the Wild West. He just lived for 21 decades, but in that short period, this young guy managed to turn into one of their most famous outlaws of his era. Interestingly, he robbed trains, banks, or stagecoaches, but had been rustling cows and took a part in gunfights. Even when he had been caught, he managed to look a daring jailbreak. Pictures of these are so rare, those lovers are prepared to pay millions on them. Actually, there was only one officially supported image of him 2011.
