The problem with negatives to collectors are that they have no displayability (is that even a word LOL!!).

Being scarcer doesn't always equate to having more value.

I love negatives BTW. Don't always know what to do with them, but I do think they are neat as hell. Especially if you can pull a really nice image from them.
