    Garage sale negatives worth $200 million......

    Wow! What a find!

    BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - A trove of old glass negatives bought at a garage sale for $45 have been authenticated as the lost work of famed nature photographer Ansel Adams and are worth at least $200 million, an attorney for the owner said Tuesday.
    A team of experts concluded after an exhaustive, six-month examination that the 65 negatives are Adams' early work, which were believed to have been destroyed in a 1937 fire at his Yosemite National Park studio, Arnold Peter said.

    Sorry I rent them to different Museums and retire. Sell them when the markets way up in a few years then really enjoy the retirement.

    Great find.
