You are correct & I think most would agree with you. Sadly, they are indeed hard to display, develop and even view on it's own. I have several amazing negatives and I don't know what to do with them.

The same argument to a degree could be made with rare baseball related 35mm color slides from the late 1940's and 1950's.They are in my opinion undervalued...but deals with the same issues those reasons listed above with negatives.
