Discuss LindaRuth's answer to: 1942 Album and pictures.

What is an album of colored troops at Camp Croft in 1942 worth? What about films of pictures taken while in training?

It seems to me that the question is very unclear. an album of WHAT? Photos? Postcards? Military stuff? Sometimes people say they are selling an album but only 3 pages actually have postcards (or whatever). You have not stated any amount.. just an album. How many pages and is it full? I buy and sell postcards. One military postcard, African-American, from the 1940's might be worth $20 each. Who knows? My best suggestion is to put it in an auction. That way the people will have a chance to look and evaluate it. When the bidding starts you know that you will get the best price (at least for that time and place.)

Thank you, LindaRuth for your comment. The album is an 85 page squadron album.  It has pictures of African American soldiers training at Camp Croft, SC in 1942.  the album also has photos of all the squadron leadership and photos of all the trainees.

There are also several pieces of film (19 w/ 2 pictures) which are pictures of trainees during training.
