Since when did women have offices?

I think it was since the 80's, you know, when they started to wear trousers, and shoulder pads...

Is anyone bidding on a Marilyn Monroe poster at the moment?

Harry has the opposite end of the stick this time..

Someone is about to over pay for an item that it isn't...

It's always difficult when you know a seller, who is usually a good fellow.

All I'm saying is ...Just be very careful, do your homework if your bidding on a MM poster at the moment.

It is one thing if one opts to keep a bargain auction under wraps. But in this case, it appears you would rather sit back & watch someone get fleeced, rather than sound the alarm and warn everyone (including the bidder who could be a member here), all because the seller is "usually a good fellow?"

I dont understand that logic.  eyeroll

Kong looks nice but $3000 for a reproduction, even if it is signed, seems a bit steep?

I agree...

But I also wanted to say it's probably easier for you to say it when you have the same image on your daybill!   ;)

For sure, Rick.

Having Wray's signature would be a nice, added perk and all... but not to the tune of 3 grand.

Rob Lifson runs the best baseball auctions there are and I suspect he may get a very good price for this item

Wonder if it the same copy Bruce auctioned in 2010 (twice)?  If not, it would be from the same lot...

Exceedingly rare and, prior to its fairly recent discovery, previously unknown movie poster insert for the 1927 First National Picture release Babe Comes Home starring Babe Ruth. This spectacular insert is one of approximately four known examples, all of which were discovered together in 2006 in the most unlikely place imaginable: the interior wall of a home being renovated. As incredible as it sounds, this poster was one of a number of significant 1920s movie posters which had been used as insulation in the walls of the home during its construction. What makes the discovery of the Babe Comes Home insert posters all the more significant is the fact that this insert was completely unknown prior to that discovery. Rarely does such a significant movie poster discovery occur at such a late date, seventy-nine years after the date of issue, or in a more unlikely manner. All memorabilia relating to the Babe Comes Home is incredibly rare. The film itself has been lost and currently the only other theatrical promotions from the film known to have survived are two different styles of one-sheet movie posters, two different styles of half-sheet posters (one of which was once a part of the famed Barry Halper Collection and now resides in the permanent collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame), a complete set of lobby cards, and a few smaller promotional pieces, including heralds. In many ways, this is the most visual of all the surviving pieces

Dial M 1sh, started at 99 cents, has 157 bids of which 152 are a single bidder whose fb is (private) and the next most frequent bidder fb is (2) and whom has retracted one bid.

And it looks like 0**0 was/is having a grand old time upping his own bids along the way, too.  :P

(tho the ability to see the automatic bid history is unavailable to view on this auction, too, for some reason)

Indeed and no doubt that bid retraction was the last bid which took it over the other highest bidder to reveal their max bid.

Nice way to push it up...

157 bids means he was bidding once per instance
no doubt he was bidding either against the (2) fb bidder or against a reserve price

you cannot raise your own bid on ebay, only your proxy

if true it is of course idiocy as this poster would do very well all by itself with no shill bidding
