i dont care what my collection is worth .i just enjoy what i have .

I agree with this statement. Thats why I always say it is just my opinion and I just go by what similar items I have seen sell for.

I once offered a guy $800 for a possible game used ball from the 58 season signed by the team (sigs were all faded). The guy turned my offer down and someone else's offer of $1200,and finally sold it for $2500.

As for not knowing the value of your collection, it is not wise not to know the value for insurance reasons only (fire or theft).

What would it cost to replace your collection if something happened to it?

I value my collection around $12,000-$15,000, and this is nothing compared to some LSU collections I have seen.

FYI,

The photo is at the frame shop. It is longer than I thought, it is 46" long.

I talked to the shop owner about reproducing it and letting him have the exclusive rights of doing a limited edition (maybe 100 total), on canvas, about 6' long.

He said he would do it in a NY second. He said I stole this photograph for what I paid for it.

He basically said it would be no out of pocket expense on my part. He could do them as ordered.

Now I just need to see if I can reproduce it and I may need permission from LSU even if the photo is not copyrighted.

That is why I contacted a lawyer.
