I find thousands of old photographs in thrift and antique stores.

And it always bugs me because any one of them could be a gem worth a great deal, and I simply don't have time to go through them all!

Nice story, but the first link needs a bit of "education":

"Between records, though, he came across a batch of black-and-white photographs printed with the high-end gelatin silver process, a favorite of fine-art photographers from the 1870s until the 1960s."

I must be a lot older than I thought.

Ah yes, of course the gelatin silver process was only known to fine art photographers as the plebeian masses continued to use wet collodion all the way until the 1960's.

On the contrary my dear sir, my sources are well documented! I have found several random people on the internet who can substantiate this claim.
