If you mean the many different ones being sold by the seller 
"finephoto", bear in mind that what they're selling are single pages 
ripped out of a copy of Leni's 1937 book "Schoenheit im Olympischen 
Kampf" (which you can tell from their description, if you look 
closely enough) -- so while they are genuinely "vintage", they're not 
actually "photos". I feel a bit sorry for some of the buyers, 
actually, who sometimes have been spending so much that they could 
just buy an actual, vintage copy of the entire book (and not just one page)!

As for anything sold by anyone else, I don't know -- although after 
this 4-million euro theft, I'm sure that law enforcement must be 
keeping an eye on eBay! I think a thief would have to be really 
foolish to try to sell them there.
