How to turn $45 into $200,000,000

Cool find, but I'd like to know how the appraiser arrived at a high-end number of $200 million. Not a single person in Jim's thread said anything about investing in Adams' negatives.

 

It sounds like the guy, as owner of the negatives, will profit from any sale of prints of those negatives. You see people with high quality Ansel Adams posters in their offices/homes all the time, the kind you buy from museum gift shops. So I think that's where the money will come from.

 

A pretty nice return on his investment... I like the guy's quote at the end about not having talked to the guy who sold him the prints, because he may come looking for him. :blink:
