That's pretty much how it is.
I bought a really cool early motorcycling photo on Ebay for what I thought was a great price. Turned out to be a modern reproduction. But the image was still really cool, and it looked like an actual photographic print. The price was ok for a modern repro too something like 5 or 10 bucks, so I just kept it.
There are a few photos that I'd pay a pretty good price for even if it was a repro. Mostly stuff I want that probably doesn't exist or is in a publishers archive in another country. And I wouldn't have a clue as to whose archive or how to ask.
Lets just say of anyone has good contacts for photos in Argentina that's where one of the photos is if it was even taken, and I wouldn't mind hearing from you
