OUR "BIGKUGELS" WATERMARK ON OUR SCANS: Sorry folks, we had to do it. After years of providing sizable and detailed scans for our bidders we have found it necessary to add our watermark to the scans. A few unscrupulous eBay sellers have been making cheap copy prints by simply printing our eBay scans onto photo printer paper and selling them to unsuspecting buyers as "reprints" of unspecified origin. Please know that the "BigKugels" watermark on our auction scans is not on the original photographs and is simply added to prevent unlawful duplication by other sellers. And if you see another seller with a "duplicate" or "copy" print of a rare image, be sure to inquire about its origin.* REPRODUCTION FORBIDDEN: The images included with our auctions are of works in our collection and are provided only for reference to prospective buyers. Copying these images for reproduction or distribution is strictly forbidden. Many of the original and vintage prints we sell are also governed by copyright of the photographers or their estates, in which case legal action may also be taken on the part of the owners of that copyright. * What makes a photograph VINTAGE? Or an original, a reprint or a copy?
