Someone’s due for an early retirement: A man who bought two small boxes of photographs for $45 at a garage sale in Southern California 10 years ago has discovered that they contain 65 glass negatives of photographs by Ansel Adams—and saw the value of his purchase shoot up to $200 million. The plates were previously believed to have been destroyed in a 1937 darkroom fire that ruined 5,000 plates. The photos, taken between 1919 and the early 1930s (before Adams rose to fame in the 40s), show Yosemite landscapes and San Francisco landmarks.
