I have obtained a black/white photo negative of a major hall of famer of which said negative was used as the basis for his rookie card.

First question is: Is it wise to have some prints made up off of it?

Second questions: Will printing copies damage the negative or is ther an alternative process?

Third question: If I remember right doesn't PSA and JSA encapsulate these?

Lastly - What would these generally be valued at?

Thanks in advance!!!

I would not make prints from the original negative. It can be scanned and prints made from the scan. No company encapsulates negatives to my knowledge unless they are autographed. Obviously, the actual subject will determine the value even if it is the original negative so there is no way to estimate value without knowing the subject.
