Were you able to verify that Jeff?  Maybe Stan sold it and it made it's way to AHighA ?

 

But yeah, if he was pawning off a pic he found on internet from 1994 as a current pic, chances real good a scam.

This thread made me stop and think a moment about how we might be able to ID a photo as a scam.  The one idea that comes to mind is whether the photo is a high resolution digital photo.  If it is scanned from an old picture then it will look grainy and not display the detail we would expect.  

 

Looking at the photo above certainly appears to be low resolution.  When the cost is 10k I would demand a current photo with proof of current date.  If seller refuses to provide it run in the other direction.

Not sure if you saw Jeff's other thread?

 

If you right click a photo you will get a dropdown menu and one of the choices should involve an 'image search, google or otherwise.

 

You will be presented with all the websites that contain that image.

 

In this case there were numerous sites using the exact photo with the oldest one apparently the owner in Illinois which has been up for years.
