I'm with you; I really like the transparencies that were used to make the vintage Topps cards. I do enjoy looking at some of the other great, never before seen, shots of some of my favorite players of the day as well, but don't appeal quite as much as the one's used for cards. I do notice the negatives used for cards go for a bit more typically, but some of the others go for high dollar as well. I guess it depends on the shot and the player pictured.
By the way I "LOVE" the Billy Williams transparency you have purchased. If you don't mind me asking what was the final price of that baby?!? That has to be a great addition to your collection.
I personally think these will at least hold their value due to thier one of a kind nature. Of course as time goes by some of the younger collectors/individuals will forget, since they've never seen them play, the older players.
