One of the more egregious dealer-flips, unless I am mistaken. I'm pretty sure this is Trotters copy that recently sold for £15,000 via Tom Ayling.

(if it isn't the same copy, it is still an absurd price, given known sales)

I understand the concern, but this is not a resale of Trotter’s copy—it’s my own.

You don't see these come to market very often anymore, but that is one eye watering asking price.
