Original Slide Prices

[NW Mailing List]

I have several original slides I paid a pretty penny for. Was it
necessarily for enjoyment? Yes and no. One thing is certain, we don't know
what the high bidder intends to do with said slides. They could wind up
being donated to the Archives for all we know. They could also wind up
stuffed away in another collection for years. I have a few N&W original
slides I'm getting ready to donate. I mostly buy them out of hobby, but
mainly for the preservation aspect. Some that are good enough get accepted
to Rail Pictures.net so others can enjoy them. The main drawback to posting
anything to the Internet is that once it's out there, it's hard to get it
back. Images wind up getting copied and circulated with little to no
respect or citation to the respective owner. I simply found the prices
high, but as others said, someone has to have it. Remember,  with the
original slide, that's it. Unless there's a duplicate somewhere.
