Really quickly I will say a couple things. First, thanks for the compliments. Second, I know the guys from Historic Images very well and have even been to their Memphis offices a few times. They are WONDERFUL people and some of the nicest most ethical guys (and gals) you will ever meet. I know some people dont agree with the mass selling tactics, but if you guys could see where many of these photos were before they got ahold of them (IE, rotting away in warehouses and sometimes destined for landfills) you will understand the preservation that is happening in this industry. From what I have seen in viewing their facility, they take great care in attempting to preserve the history of the images while dealing with such a large volume and genuinely CARE about the images and the history behind them.
Also from what I understand, they are not a John Rogers company, they used to sell items for John similar to a a subcontrctor working on a house but they are their own company and they only sell their own items now. All the recent "NEA" items are owned by Historic Images.
I am not plugging them in any way, but I have bought a TON of stuff from them and they are BY FAR my favorite people in the hobby!
