The thing I find most fascinating is the quantity and variation of photographs between 1900 and the early 1960's (my main era of interest) that are available. Kind of intimidating really. But there are so many beautiful photographs, poses, etc. ... many of which I've never seen before ... and many I didn't even know existed because I was so implanted in the world of baseball cards. Anyway ... this sort of leads me to another question I forgot to ask in my last post ... are there any other photograph auctions like Henry Yee's (eBay or otherwise) that I should keep an eye out for in the future? I know Henry Yee has another one coming up this summer. Thanks again to everyone for their feedback!

I wish I could help you, but I am new into this also. But I do want to say that I seen a post someone put into another thread. He stated photos were like the new '52 Topps.
That statement hit home. When the '52 Topps came out, they sold very well, but if we would have known then what we know now, we would have bought up every 52 topps we could find.
The vintage photos, say pre 1960, they are out there now, but before long, they will become harder to find. I missed out on the 52 Topps, and Microsoft stock in my lifetime. These vintage photos may not be quite up to that level of collectability or value............or will they?
