Color Plane Crash Photos
I have several Color slides of the Plane crash site. My Grandfather was the fire chief and one of the 1st on the scene. These have been boxed up for sometime now but are in great condition.
I was wondering what something like this would be worth?

I'm now expert, but just consider this fact: there exists only three colour photos of the plane crash, taken by some journalist who was trying out his new camera. So if these are different shots, well.....I'd love to see them out there at a reasonable price cause too much of Buddy's stuff is, as you say, buried in attics. What was it like for your grandfather?

Well, David, that would a question to ask Bill Griggs, who would in turn question the credibility of them, because, as buddy_blue said, there are only three known color photos, and Bill reinforces that fact and has them on his website....and beacuse Bill Giggs questions every piece of new info or photos, seeing as he has a reputation to live up to. But, if your going to sell them, first of all,plz sell them to someone whos gonna take care of them and second of all, put them on the net please! Although its morbid and mabey not the way I particularly like to see Buddy, Im always looking for new photos...even photos of that. Wow, it must be so cool to have a grandfather who was on the scene...although Im sure it wasnt much fun for him...was he a fan of any of them?
