Not sure if mint means the cameras were never used or just well maintained?

But if the father was able to take a lifetime of great photos in addition to the cameras increasing in value - I think I go with the camera 100/100 times.

I agree that if he used the cameras a lot, they were worth the money. The same for any other collectible.

But as monetary investments, they're terrible.
