I have seen common photos of Ruth that are similar to each other sell for $50 to $500 with no rhyme or reason for the premium. Are you buying these for resale? If so, I think that the $250 is high and you will have very little profit in the photo and could even be upside down when you go to sell it. If you are buying the photo for your collection...do you like the photo enough to pay $250 and will it make you happy to own it?
Just my 2¢. Good luck.

Agreed... Asking people how much they think something it worth(photo) is completely subjective. Search past auctions to get a feel for prices realized and only buy what you are happy with. Do not go by what others think. if i dod that, i eould not have yhe vollection i do. I have ponied up For many of my photos and many would pay double what i dod now. Buying to resell vs to enjoy in a collection are two completely different things in the photo world.
