    I have 8 photos of Elvis at the tupulo Mississippi fair. Terry Wood was the photographer. Each photo has a description by Terry. I don't know much about them and I'm wanting to know what the value would be. Thanks

    Research Terry and see if any of his works have sold at auction.

    I know the negatives sold at auction for good money. I have looked for awhile and I can't find anything about the photos I have.

    No, u need the help of everyone here.....
    You're pics may be too large , & need to be down sized to under one MB.

    There are threads here to help with that , or just wait a bit for someone to pop by with that info.

    I take it you're using a phone, right ?

    Hi Jeremy. Welcome. I enlarged your photos so we can see them better.
    BIG Elvis fan here.
    Is the text located on the back of one of the photos? Does it look like it was typed on? Photo copied on?

    This is from an article about the huge Elvis auction held in August of this year. The person talking is Terry Wood's widow:

    “It was very hard to let go of it,” said Wood. She said her husband sold packages of eight 8x10 prints of eight negatives “all over the world” for $80. Through the years, however, “sales dwindled” so the decision to auction was fairly easy from an economic standpoint. Wood said Terry made his own prints in his darkroom but as digital photography became more common, finding a quality photo printer of the now old and large negatives became more and more difficult.


    It sounds like you have one of those eight photo packages.
