Default The one that got away

No, not a redboard, but close?

I was browsing etsy and came across this:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/102998563/racehorse-picture

'RUFFINO WAS THE NAME OF THIS PRIZEWINNER. HE RACED AT MONTICELLO, NY.
THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL GLASS/WOOD FRAME. ESTATE PIECE. FOUND CLEANING OUT A DECEASED WOMAN'S HOUSE. '

(image of a horribly-matted Richard Stone Reeves Ruffian print)

I did a double take and messaged the seller asking if she had more photos. Even with that grotesque mat job, I'd pay $20 any day for it. Unfortunately she wrote back saying it had been sold. I responded asking, out of curiosity, how much she sold it for outside etsy. No reply yet.

For reference, here is a nicely-framed print:

Where's the *facepalm* emoticon on here???!!?
