Best Yard sale find ever?

When I woke up this morning I took my morning pilgrimage to Yahoo.com and the first news article that poped up was one about a man who bought a few Ansel Adams negatives at a yard sale in the Southwest. This is a must read and a awesome story.

• Ansel Adams glass negatives bought ten years ago at a garage sale for $45 were found by appraisers to be worth $200 million at a minimum, according to several reports published on Tuesday.
  
  These particular negatives, which have never been appraised before, were purchased by Fresno, Calif. painter Rick Norsigan in 2000. He thought that the photos could have possibly been taken by Ansel Adams, reported CNN.
  
  Experts say that the negatives have never been developed and printed, but some appear nearly identical to published works of Adams.
  
  After buying them, Norsigan spent the next ten years getting the 65 negatives, which depict the natural wonders of California such as Yosemite and Fisherman's Wharf, examined, to find out if the photographs were early photographs taken by Adams.
  
  During his quest to determine the authenticity of the negatives, he utilized the services of a curator of the Boston Museum of Art, CBS reported.
  
  Art appraisers in Beverly Hills, Calif. came to the conclusion that the negatives were taken in the early part of Adams' career. Adams is believed to have had 5,000 plates during his early career but they were destroyed in a darkroom fire in 1937.   (continue reading)
