412.0. "AP wirephotos from the mid-70's ????" by TOOK::ROBRIEN () Mon Mar 23 1992 12:24

    	Does anyone know if these have any value?  How about a pointer
    	to a person or reference book ?
    
    	A friend just gave me hundreds of these orignal AP wirephotos.
    	They have some great pictures (some I recognized).  There are
    	lots of Ali, Reggie, Munson, Billy Martin, etc.  They encompass
    	all sports and are in reasonably good shape.
    
    	Any help would be appreciated.
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Ron

412.1They have Value.IAMOK::GASPARONITue Mar 24 1992 13:027
    I have seen these only once at a show.  The guy was selling them from
    anywheres from $1.00 to $5.00, depending on which player was in the 
    picture.  This guy had them from the late 50's to late 60's, hundreds
    of them.  I picked up a couple of Mantle's for $3.00.  I guess this is
    how the pictures got into the newspapers back in the old days??  I
    would think if you could get a few autographs on these, they would 
    be worth even more someday.

    A word of caution.  Please check and make sure that you can sell these.
    The laws around this stuff is/are  complicated.
