Was watching Photography Online on Youtube (great series BTW) and they posted a trivia question on the most expensive photograph ever sold. I was surprised it is Man Ray's 'Le Violon D Ingres taken in 1924. IMHO, it's an interesting image, especially for its time, but for $12.5M? Here's the article with image:

Not only photographs but all types of collectibles. Remember Beanie Babies?!
