Negatives are much rarer than prints, but are less collectible to the average collector. The prints can be framed on the wall, but the negatives are what makes an album rare and a historical artifact. Individual negatives of Marciano and Musial would sell to collectors. Photo prices are volatile, so I couldn't pinpoint a sales price beforehand. The price of negatives is dependent on the size and the quality of the image (pose, clarity, focus, etc). The negative should be worth more than the matching print, and $5 would be low ball for a good looking original 1950s Musial or Jackie Robinson (stars).
