4. Photographs Of American Photographer Edward Curtis

Edward Curtis is an early American Photographer who focused on capturing Native Americans and the American West. Years before Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars started making his money off a television show, he paid $50 for four sets of American Indian photogravures done by Edward Curtis.

Unknown to Harrison at the time, Curtis’ work was worth thousands more than what his customer asked for, and he paid for it. In fact, after some research, Harrison learned the value of the rare photographs were close to $20,000.
