Ansel Adams Photographs Bought at Garage Sale Worth $200 Million
Adams' son denies they are Ansel's, even though handwriting experts
and others say they are. Apparently, the owner has been trying to
prove they are Ansel's for a long time.

Obviously, Ansel's son wants to limit the number of "one-off"
prints that are available. The only way that these items are
worth $200 million, are if they're used to produce more prints.
Otherwise, they are glass with images that will deteriorate.
This isn't the end of the story. The claims will go on forever.
It was in my town these were found. Of late, a local family claims their
"uncle so-and-so from LA actually took them," and they were NOT Ansel
Adams
Yeah, "Uncle Earl".
When it takes someone **ten years** to "authenticate" something,
it's obvious that something's wrong......especially when it takes
only two more days to dash those hopes:
It took ten years to "authenticate", because it had to be done
carefully, employing only people who'd give the required
opinion that they were Adams' work. If they had taken the
slides in to all experts, they'd not have received the results
they'd hoped for.
Plus, that $200 million for 65 slides? Highly inflated.
