[78-L] American Record Corp. staff photo

[Taylor Bowie]

The seller may or may not be a history buff,  but he is a seller,  and 
offers a wide variety (currently hundreds of lots)  of printed material for 
sale,  with no records listed.  For him,  it's just another item to move 
along.

I'm not sure what benefit he would receive from making a more fancy 
presentation of the photo...the item pretty well speaks for itself and I 
don't think whoever buys it will  much care about the  window dressing or 
that it would make for higher bidding in the end.
