   Thanks; love that Antiques Roadshow.  In case those who don't know,   
   they do a lottery for tickets on the show.  Thousands apply and about   
   300 people in each of the 8 locations are lucky enough to get tickets.   
   I think they are almost done (for 2010) so check into it in your area!   
      
   Someone kindly emailed me off group yesterday who knows a LOT about   
   photography and offered some info too!   
      
   Questions still remain like how do you tell if it's really an original   
   verses a clone...  I think you need a trained eye for that or really   
   great provenance, but I think as for collecting goes, it's worth   
   looking into owning a few originals.  However, I was told it's much   
   like having a Rookie card signed; it ruins the value to real photo   
   collectors.  So something important to think about too.
