Robert Riger - Sports Illustrated photos/illustrations?

Anyone know anything about a series of photo/lithographs done by Robert Riger for Sports Illustrated in the 50's-60s? My brother-in-law has 3 baseball prints by Riger and is looking to sell them. He is not sure what they could be worth. Any ideas?

Have you checked ebay?
You'll find Riger's 1959/60 Shell Oil lithos on ebay at times.
As for his SI illustrations, I spoke with a very helpful editor at SI last year and no one seems to know where the 1200 Riger sketches are.
His son called me 4/5 years ago and left a message that he didn't know either.
Good luck,
Bill
