I remember when I started in photography years back, I asked a bunch of big wigs on a broad topic of dating photos-- few give much an answer, but a curator at the J. Paul Getty museum gave me lots of info.

Yeah, I remember how hard it was ten years ago to get any discussion going regarding vintage photographs. Now I'm finding that there are plenty of guys who were collecting back then, and still are - I just didn't have a way of getting hold of them.
I recently passed on a ball that I really wanted to purchase, but I had no way of verifying the officials' marks on the ball; without that, I wasn't willing to touch it.
