Quick question here:

Was Rodgers actually replicating/forging stamps, or was he simply passing on later generation press photos as 1st generation originals?

I always got the sense he was a guy who was determined to corner the photo market, but didn't have much of a clue to what he was actually selling.........or if he did, he was real good at finding other whales who didn't know what a restrike was, and passing them off to them as originals, hoping they would get buried in collections.
