COLLECTING
SANDOW
MEMORIBILIA AND PHOTOS
The
"eBay" website is probably the most enjoyable way
to find real bodybuilding antiques and photographs. Original
photography, cabinet cards and other wonderful items may be
found for sale and view on this massive site. Keep in mind that
there are a number of sellers that deal in photographic reproductions
of Sandow. They are usually quite good and decorative... and
are enjoyable to display, but keep in mind what is a reproduction
and what is original and bid with this in mind. If you are in
doubt about the authenticity of an item, send an email to the
seller and ask. Learn who is reputable by looking at their feedback
rating. Most original Sandow items are now out of most casual
collectos reach, such as his signature dumbells, cigar boxes
and labels, and the small statuettes. But just seeing these
items is enjoyable amd a learning experience.
