I find it quite funny that a guy picked up 3 boxes of glass negatives 10 years ago for $45 at a garage sale, and now they believe it's actually the work of Ansel Adams, thought to have been lost in a darkroom fire in 1937. The kicker - they estimate it's now worth $200 million.

If experts on the subject in Beverly Hills are correct in their assessment, three boxes of glass negatives purchased at a garage sale for $45 ten years ago were a very prudent investment.

Rick Norsigian, a painter from Fresno, bargained their original owner down from $100- but art appraisers are saying the set of negatives are actually worth $200m because they are early works of nature photographer Ansel Adams. If the estimates are correct, the pictures were believed to have been lost in a darkroom fire in 1937:

Moral of the story... don't despise garage sales.. and some people's trash may indeed be treasures.
