For selling, certainly - he's figured out how to get top dollar. This thread got me to thinking about collector knowledge when it comes to photos. It's always been curious to me that anyone could collect something without having the skills to determine if the items are legit, but you see it all the time, especially with autographs, and also, amazingly, with photographs. If they aren't in plastic, they aren't real. People missing out on great deals that they could take advantage of if they'd educate themselves more, and lose the dependence on 3rd-party authenticators.

It's very refreshing to see auction houses like Lelands, who you know are selling primarily to knowledgeable collectors. 'See' some of you tomorrow night
