Even the original negatives from the 50's are not worth as much as you would think. My best guess is, if you call a place like Getty Archives up to get a quote; you won't get anywhere near what you think they are worth. There is a good chance that a private collector may want one of the pieces; like it was mentioned about the Handley brothers; but finding those collectors is like a needle in the haystack.

Just for fun; I did a completed search on the Bay for photos; some are good; are not; but you see that it's not easy -- except for the 46 DiMaggio photo; I don't think any photos went for anywhere near their "retail value"

Interesting conversation piece here -- let me know what you think
