Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:13108305 |
A few years back I bought a large collection of photographs, that was part of a larger collection belonging to noted photographer himself. Al Kilgore. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Kilgore, I've cut snd pasted his wiki bio below.
I'm no photography expert, but i know in the collection were/are film stills, press/publicity/fan club shots, as well as candid photos of celebrities doing what celebrities do. Some are originals, some copies, some in mint condition, some not so much.. Sev...eral were published pieces, several have been cut down/cropped. It was/is a large collection.
I've already sold off a huge portion of the collection, sending joy all over the 🌎 planet.That being said. i still have a ton of photos left. I sort of got burnt out before, but now I'm refreshed and ready to move the rest of them, hopefully bringing a little joy to you.
You are bidding/buying the photo in the title and photos I've provided.As i said earlier, I'm no expert. so it's up to you to decide if you think it's an original period photo or a copy. Some seem obvious. others not so much. I'll try and photo any damage to the photo. but I'm bound to miss things. and sometimes flaws/creases/etc can be difficult to photograph. I'm telling you all this because all photos are sold "AS-IS" with absolutely no returns.
Shipping is 4.99 if you buy one or everyone I have.
Now for that bio I promised.
