Rest assured the negatives are most likely in the hands of the rightful owners.

Someone named BBC Emporium is now selling off the Jim Rowe negatives on eBay. Typing in "Medium Frame Negative - Jim Rowe Archive," you'll get "10,000+ results."

This seems like a great source for cataloguing the Rowe releases, but it would be a tough task, as there are no dates associated with the negatives.

Jim Rowe and Brace made a deal with the HOF to copy photos from the Hall's library. I have no idea what the terms were. Anyway, they loaded up the car with a copy stand and film and drove to Cooperstown from Chicago. You have to remember, Cooperstown is mostly inaccessible to the rest of Earth.

When they arrived, the guy from the museum said, "Oh, we have been trying to contact you. We don't care to do this deal."

This was really lame.

Anyway, Brace said to Rowe, "Well, as long as we are here, want to look around the museum?"

Rowe, furious, said, "Hell no." And they got in the car and returned home.

This is a true story Rowe told me back in the late seventies.

Mr. Rowe was a great guy. I remember buying tons of Cardinals players photos in the early 80s He not only would take photos of major league players , but he also had tons of minor league players. The problems began after both gentlemen were deceased and the others family members wanted a piece of the pie.
