Thanks for the feedback on the George Burke question I posed a few weeks ago. I have another concerning the reprints he created of vintage photos/postcards.

I saw Burke's reprints at the last Ft. Washington Show, and I was curious as to why they were being offered at a price commensurate with his original photos. They were clearly photographs he had taken of the originals, and as such lacked the clarity and crispness of his player photos (they're even a little blurred.) Is their value based solely on the fact that Burke created them?

I appreciate any thoughts you care to share.

All best, Mike
