I am guilty of this from time to time.
When I know an original Frankenstein or King Kong is coming to auction and I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, I place an early bid just so I can say I tried.
Then I brag to the kids in the neighborhood that I was the underbidder on the big one.
This gives me juice in the 'hood.

Great fucking answer.  If only you could be this witty all the time!

An April Fool joke in 1947?

Mark

Hard to believe she was truly paid the equivalent of $10 million (in today's cash) but I guess it is possible.  I read somewhere that Bogart was making about $500,000 per year (in 1940s $) at the height of his career...

There may be some Mel items in there, but there is stuff in there Mel didn't collect, and visa versa.

I would say none are his.  He had a backed Seven Year itch that I saw in person and the one listed (compared to his that saw a Poster Mountain resto) is not very good.

that's Bruce right? I met him a couple times, once at the Profiles auction of Collectors Book Store. He's a nice guy.

Yeah I think so, I'm just along for the ride on that part, Yvonne de Carlo is my friends favourite actress, and is in the loop on it all.

That ET, yeah send it to bobs restorer, it needs a little britening up.

I see that ma500969 is the highest bidder on the top six items on Bruce's special April auction. That guy has some serious cash! He's buying all the 10's and 20's posters.
