I don't want to dig myself into a hole, especially if the initial question is leading, as my impression was just my impression and it was based just on browsing the catalog. For example, I have no knowledge of was exactly in those bulk lots of 5,000, and I'm sure the auction contained wirephotos and later generation images. But a perfunctory survey of some single photo lots showed period stamps and/or tags, and I believe all the Thompson and Conlon photos were specifically labeled as original in the titles.
