Nobody twisted your arms to give your views, you all gave me information without asking for anything in return. I believe, no I know, I am getting the very best advice from a group of professional collectors. Professionals who are passionate about the business of collecting sports artifacts. Sure money in the tools that keeps you all going in your chosen profession/hobby. But if money was not the key, I bet you all would still be trading and selling for the enjoyment.
So I hope this thread did not start any bad blood between anyone, You all are too experienced, and professional to at least not respect each other a little. You all have earned that respect, I know you have that respect from me.

Hi Billyb
You are a smart person and you didn't cause anymore angst than we normally have. Consider us one big family, a bit dysfunctional, but at the end of the day we are all friends and mostly here for each other. We bicker over stuff, and argue, but it's all in the name of collecting and the hobby. We are a passionate bunch. I got some PMs (private messages) concerning this thread and it seems everyone is getting along fine now. There is no doubt Henry is one of the top photo experts around and also no doubt that many auction houses also do well with photos. take care and happy holidays!!
