I have sold and consigned tons of stuff to Henry over the years. At the National, he picked out some things from my setup, and then I showed him a fabulous photo album from the 1936 Olympics I had just picked up, some 120 snapshots taken by a British guy attending the Olympics. Henry turned it down on the basis of the Nazi connection, photos of streets lined with swastikas and several of Hitler in the stands. When I bought it, I had only thought of the photos of Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, and the rest. After that, it seemed a little dirty to me, and I blew it out for what I paid for it at the earliest opportunity. This is just to prove that Henry is not insensitive to the content of his goods. I'm a huge Henry Yee fan, he's just such a positive force in the hobby.
