How on earth could anyone know for sure how many copies are out there? Those who claim to are either lying or delusional. We can guess with some measure of accuracy, but a definite margin for error still exists.
As for original negatives, those should be one of a kind... right? Otherwise they could not be termed "original". Last edited by perezfan; 08-17-2010 at 01:21 PM.

No one can claim 1-of-1, but for the types of photos shown in this thread there will be a limited number or originals per image. Far less than 100 for sure, 5 or 10 likely a closer number. The photos weren't commercially distributed like baseball cards, but were behind the scene things used by publications.

Here's the catch-22...the original negatives or glass plates should have more value than the type1 photos because they truly are 1 of 1, but as soon as you print a photo from them the photo is a type2 and not worth much.

The problem with negatives to collectors are that they have no displayability (is that even a word LOL!!). Being scarcer doesn't always equate to having more value. I love negatives BTW. Don't always know what to do with them, but I do think they are neat as hell. Especially if you can pull a really nice image from them.

slides
On a way more modern note, there are several people selling slides on Ebay. Most are all current or modern players. I obviously collect McGwire stuff so I bought about a dozen slides. The neat thing about these is that you own the rights to it. I can print out pictures from the slides if i wanted. I don't think that is legal with a photo. But if you bought the negative, well I think you then own the rights to the image. Anyone know for sure???

Not unless you have it in writing that you are also buying the rights to the photo/negative/slide etc. From what I can tell it depends on if it's a freelance photographer, one that works for a publications, etc. Depending on the situation, the copyright extends to the "artist" or publication for his lifetime plus 50, 75 or 100 years (depending on the situation and who you ask...and in the case of a publication, from the pulication date).
