About our Photographs and Listings
We have acquired one of the largest collections of Original AP, UPI and various other news service photos from several news media outlets. Most of our photographs are in great condition considering they are 20 - 90 years old. Subjects are practically unlimited so if you are interested in something particular please let me know and I will try to get an appropriate listing going for you.
We handle our photographs with care once they get to us, but due to their age, the photographs may have some cracks, tears, and wrinkles that they received before they arrived in our care. Please look carefully at the pictures as they will give you the best indication of the condition of the photograph.
We sell only original vintage photographs acquired from news outlets across the country. You can be assured that what you are purchasing is an original item from a news archive and has not been reproduced by us. Most items will have a date stamp on the back to indicate exactly when they were first used in the newspaper.
When the photographs are scanned, the online pictures are given a "cootsimagery" digital watermark. It is only on the picture online and is not on the photograph itself.
Our listing titles are based solely on information from press sources provided on the backs of the photos and occasionally some basic research which is not always 100% accurate, but this is all of the information that we have to go on, since we are not professional historians. We apologize for any inaccuracies or mistakes.
As a general rule, auction items that receive no bids are relisted as Fixed-Price items at a higher price than the starting auction bid price.
We add new inventory every week, so check back often!
Shipping and Handling
When a photograph is purchased from us, each order is packed with care between two cross-corrugated sheets of cardboard and wrapped in a plastic sleeve to ensure the packages are as difficult to bend as possible and offer some moisture protection.
Shipping is charged per order and may not be combined with other seller IDs, per eBay's policy. We encourage customers interested in multiple auctions to bid and check out after all of your auctions have ended so that all items will be in the same order and subject to only one shipping charge. eBay should automatically combine shipping when you choose the Add to Cart option. Whether you buy one or 100 photos from this seller ID, the shipping charge will be the same, one flat fee for domestic or international shipments. Check the Shipping and payments tab for current rates.
We ship orders Monday through Friday. We do not ship on weekends or holidays. Our standard processing time is one business day from time of cleared payment.
Customs charges, import taxes, duties, etc. are the sole responsibility of the buyer. You may contact your local customs office to help you determine what these fees may be. We will not mark our shipments as anything other than merchandise.
Payment Information
We accept Paypal and all major credit cards through eBay's payment system. Please check the Shipping and payments tab for a complete list.
Please make sure to close your tab with us within 30 days of the end date of your earliest purchased item, to ensure a smooth transaction.
We leave positive feedback after receiving cleared payment, and we always welcome your positive feedback.
