He paid $2 at a flea market for an old photograph

Randy Guijarro’s journey began with a serendipitous find—a photograph of Billy the Kid playing croquet bought for just $2 at a flea market. Little did he know, this seemingly ordinary purchase would turn into a multimillion-dollar treasure. The image, authenticated as only the second known photograph of the infamous outlaw and his gang from 1878, now holds a value of $5 million.

Guijarro’s dedication to authenticity and transparency throughout the process, documented in a National Geographic special hosted by Kevin Costner, highlights the challenges and excitement of uncovering historical artifacts. His passion for exploration, shared with his wife Linda, fuels their quest to discover forgotten pieces of history both near and far.

The couple plans to use their newfound wealth thoughtfully, balancing personal and financial needs while continuing their adventures in historical sleuthing. Guijarro’s story is a testament to the thrill of discovery and the enduring allure of the Wild West’s legendary figures like Billy the Kid.
