> One printed IP/ICMP "ping" packet sent by carrier pigeon per RFC 1149.

Is that the entire packet shown in the picture frame? So the price is 1k+ USD for the frame? Because anyone can type that and get it printed/framed for considerably less. What am I missing?

It’s the literal piece of paper that was transported by the pigeon and it’s signed by the author of RFC 1149. A little piece of Internet history ephemera.
