I would be more interested in hearing how the photographs were acquired. It
was stated that there was no signature. Was it a real auction or a garage
sale? Not to be humorous, but for years people told me that they've seen my
photographs at an occasional garage sale, or flea market. That's part of
selling your art on the street for over 25 years.
Was there any indication of the photos being removed from their mats which
might have contained the photographers name and contact information? How
much did you pay for them? Was there any indication of a perceived value to
think that you could make a profit from them on eBay?
If they did come from the art show world, I'd like to see a set of scans
and maybe I could identify the photographer.
