A truly massive, massive collection of the negatives that Jim used for the production of his photographs and photographic postcards, over 25,000 in all. Primarily in the form of 35mm. Herein lies the core of Jim's baseball hobby business. The subject matter is primarily baseball, his bread and butter; if someone ever played Major League baseball, whether in 1879 or 1979, you will probably find him in this assemblage. Most are copy negatives that were made from the 1960s through the 1980s, both color and black and white. You could start your own empire with this collection, or just spend years enjoying it! There is a life represented here, the amount of hard work that this took to amass is unimaginable. Really great stuff that is completely as Jim left it.
