On Saturday, June 23, 2012, a rare Frank and Jesse James reward poster could fetch upwards of $25,000, making it the most-wanted wanted poster in recent memory. Issued in 1881 and passed down through four generations of a St. Joseph, Missouri, family, the poster offers a $5,000 reward per man. If you can judge an outlaw by the size of his bounty, Jesse James was among the biggest: That $5,000 works out to over $113,000 in today’s dollars.
