Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Rick Norsigian's hobby of picking through piles of unwanted items at garage sales in search of antiques has paid off for the Fresno, California, painter.

Two small boxes he bought 10 years ago for $45 -- negotiated down from $70 -- are now estimated to be worth at least $200 million, according to a Beverly Hills art appraiser.

Those boxes contained 65 glass negatives created by famed nature photographer Ansel Adams in the early period of his career. Experts believed the negatives were destroyed in a 1937 darkroom fire that destroyed 5,000 plates.

Depending on your age, this may be your best option.

Heard on the radio today that this guy is selling prints from the negatives for $7500 each; also Adams' grandson said they are not by his grandfather, and anyway the value was in how the prints were developed in the darkroom by Adams.

Still beats most things on Antiques Roadshow!
