An autographed photo of baseball player "Shoeless Joe Jackson" has sold for a record $1.47 million at auction, according to auction house Christies.
The 1911 photo is the only known photo in existence signed by the player, who was unable to formally read or write, it said.
Christies said on Twitter the auction price reached on Thursday was the highest ever for a signed sports photo, far exceeding the auction estimate of $200,000-$400,000.
