Rick Norsigian’s hobby is exploring garage sales. 10 years ago he bought a box of glass negatives for $45.00. Today they are estimated to be worth $200 million.

They were created by Ansel Adams and experts agree they were from his early years as a photographer estimated somewhere around 1919 – 1930′s, well before he became well known.

Norsigian bought them in 2000 from a Southern California garage sale and has spent a decade trying to establish their worth. Today they have been authenticated by experts-and are valued at $200 million.
