Yes, I am looking for actual photos - not reproductions, posters, or magazine pages, although vintage promo photos are cool, depending on who they are. The ones I'm really looking for are the old cabinet photos of your average player with their horn, or later misc. trumpet photos. Here's an example of a photo I just won... VINTAGE PHOTO of FETCHING YOUNG MAN in TUX with TRUMPET - eBay (item 300222185657 end time May-09-08 18:00:18 PDT)

I find these fascinating, because this could be any one of us down the road - know what I mean? I guess that means label all your promo photos with your name, because then when someone collects them 80yrs from now, you will be remembered!
BTW, there are album sized frames now so you can display your favorite LP cover - very cool!
