Who Bought Conlon's Negatives?

[Forever Young]

I bet this collection would sell for 10 time’s that now or more. I had dreams of buying when it auctioned. It quickly got out of reach. It’s probably good that I don’t have pockets that deep or all of the great photos and negatives would never be available to the public at auction. Ha The buyer(s) of this Collection did well(whoever they may be). Hopefully something cool is done with them as far as projects go.

In my opinion(always has been and i have put my money where my mouth is despite my first love for cards), photos and negatives are huge part of the future in an age where video clips sell for 6-7 figures with zero tangible asset. Photography and negatives(glass, film etc) are forms of media and history. They are historical records and artifacts. Photography also is a form of art which adds another Dimension. Look at the Jackie Robinson photos used for cards that sold in heritage. Those checked another box and crossed over into baseball cards. Believe it or not, i believe the buyers of those got good deals as they went for a fraction of what the best single card of each goes for. The photos are the ORIGINAL art.. not the cards.

Anyway.. that is all..Coffee almost gone.. I’ll go back into hibernation. I would live to know who owns these too but like the mystery as well.
