The majority of time it just had the photographer/illustrators name with no estimated cost written on them.  And usage?  To an Art Director, what’s that- “I want such and such to shoot this so who cares how it is going to be used. I want to win an award.”  The estimate was usually a quote over the phone and rarely in writing.  The purchased props never came back to the agency but damn that art director looked good in those new cowboy boots!

via art buyers are people too.
