Rick Norsigian Pays $45 For Ansel Adams Photos Worth $200 Million
Amazing. Simply amazing. This story might just inspire you to do a little more yard sale-ing than you used to. This antique shopper, Rick Norsigian paid $45 back in 2000 for 65 glass negatives that he bought at a yard sale in southern California. The dude who sold him these negatives said that he got them at a warehouse salvage in Los Angeles.
I’ll bet he wishes he would have hung on to them now! They are worth at least $200 million…. and why? Because they are the works of the famed photographer Ansel Adams.
Wow. Why doesn’t this happen to me? Oh yeah. I don’t really do yard sales. But you know what? If I can go and find me some Ansel Adams work I am all about it!
Congratulations to Rick! You have found yourself a piece of art history. Ansel Adams is beyond amazing. You better hang onto those!

I go to yard sales, but now I will have to look through the stuff more closely.
There may be another Ansel Adams negative out there.
