$45 Find at Garage Sale Estimated Worth $200 Million

A Fresno, Ca. Painter that paid $45 for two boxes of photographic negatives 10 years ago has finally substantiated that his find is easily worth a whopping $200 Million.

Turns out the boxes he purchased contained 65 glass negatives from historic nature photographer Ansel Adams. Adams, known for his pictures of fabulous nature settings is revered as the father of American photography.

The photographs, taken between 1919, depict Southern California over 70 years ago and feature Yosemite, the Carmel Mission and San Francisco landmarks.

The amazing find is set to be shown at a Beverly Hills, California, gallery starting today.

I was just talking with a friend who told me a story of a person who opened up a picture frame and found two original copies of the Declaration of Independence signed by our founding fathers. It was sold for milions and millions of dollars but what a find!!! Ansel Adams is one of the all time greats and the 200 million price tag proves it!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!
