I just came across this auction, http://mangoldauctionservice.com/auction_detail.php?id=123753
Click on "online bidding" to see photos of the items.

They claim to have Doc Holliday's leather bag, and his favorite uncle's photo. (page 10)
Also, another unpublished photo of Doc.

Other items include:
Wells Fargo cash box
Tombstone cash box
Two poker chips owned by Soapy Smith (p. 12)
A bunch of items found metal detecting Wyatt Earp's campsite at Vidal, CA.

What does everyone think of the Doc Holliday things?

I apologize for not getting back to you, but have had other more pressing matters. The bag is still at the museum in Tombstone and hasn't moved. We have sold the bag to a man over in England. Please feel free to call over there or show up to see the bag as they would be happy to go into detail. The bag since I last replied has been authenticated not only by that museum but the Doc Holiday Museum and they have a copy of the newspaper article showing the bag. What is crazy about this whole thing is that the other bag that people have been saying is the real deal is not. You can also have the museum go into further detail there also. Hope this clears things up. I may not be on for a while again as I have authored a few books that are on Amazon and other stores that are keeping me busy lately. Tombstone is my get away!
