I think it is a field with great potential. Very affordable way to collect prewar or anything else, and there are some real gems out there, especially if you collect stuff other than baseball. The liquidation of news archives is flooding the market with great stuff so prices are very reasonable now even for first rate images.
I am really starting to appreciate snapshots. The first mass market cameras were issued around the turn of the last century so there were millions of amateurs out there shooting away even in the deadball era.
I also like the artwork that some newspapers and magazines made with photos and have started buying that too.
