Interesting story about this photo. I obtained it a couple of years ago from Jeff Green himself who was selling them for Vincent through 
. I purchased three copies through a "buy-it-now". I also sent an email to Mr. Green asking if he could have Vincent autograph one of them for me, as I was an autograph collector. He responded that he didn't see a problem with that and would ask Vincent.
A couple of days later I got a reply, stating that Vincent would autograph one, but why was I interested in "his" autograph. I explained again that I collect autographs of famous people, and that seeing that his Father held a place in certain histories, in defacto it made him famous too.
I waited and got another email a few days later stating that upon consideration and in discussion with his family and associates, that it was best if he not grant my request for an autograph at this time.
I know the Spilotro's still live in Vegas, and are very low-key about their past. But this was also about the time that Vincent was granting some interviews, and a documentary was in the planning stages about his family.
Oh, well...it's still a neat pic nonetheless.
