Swann Auction Galleries

Letters from Debbie Reynolds have not come to major auctions yet, and it's unclear if there's an active base of collectors for autographs by her. That said, it's always important for specialists to see the material in question in order to assess its potential value. Please see this page for information on selling at Swann (there's a form at the bottom where you can submit a consignment inquiry): https://www.swanngalleries.com/auctions/selling/

Many people buy and sell at auction without ever being on the premises. At Swann, you can email photographs of your material to a specialist to receive a preliminary estimate. From there, if they think it may be suitable for auction, you can arrange shipping or a pickup. All contracts and communication can happen remotely. Visit https://www.swanngalleries.com/auctions/selling/ for more information.

I am not in the business of selling art. I simply know that Swann Auctions is a very reputable NYC business with everything being sold online these days Contact them directly.

Hi Ira, Swann reviews consignments on a rolling basis. The American Art department would be able to let you know if it would be suitable for auction. https://www.swanngalleries.com/departments/american-art

Auction houses don't generally purchase items outright—they take material on consignment and via the auction attempt to find a buyer. The nature of your photographs are unclear, but the best first step in figuring out if they may be worth something at auction is to snap a few photographs and email the pictures to a specialist, providing any photographer information or details that may not be apparent, like stamps, signatures, etc. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your photographs.
