Help with old photos

I have a shoebox from my great grandfather full of negatives in perfect condition of baseball games, players, and fields/stadiums. My great grandpa was, George Thompson, one of the founders of the umpires association. He took many pictures back in the '20s-'60s.

Is there anyone who could help me with this project? I need to identify and price what they are worth. Then I would like to start selling copies on paper to places. I need a partner to help me and I would share profits with this person. A lot of these negatives are from Minnesota teams, Chicago, Canada, New York and other places.

Bill's Blog--2-12-10

When I started going to the State Tournament in the middle '70s we always had the worst umpiring that we saw all season. The State Board did not evaluate umpires and set no real standards for the umpires. Since the late '90s things have changed. Now there is an umpire committee that evaluates umpire applications (you can't work the State Tournament unless you apply). They select the 24 umpires that will work the B and C State Tournaments the first two weekends. After the first two weekends, the committee members pick the best umpires to work the final weekend of games.
