Rough Concept Drawing Neil Camera's original concept was largely carried through the final painting, but the tag line "He's Havana Mid-Life Missle Crisis" did not appear on the finished sticker. Neil Camera's original rough was sold in a Topps Vault auction which ran from April 14-21, 2005. The auction ended at $665.01.
