I wasn't meaning literally hand carried into the cabin, that's why the " ". It's a little too long to fit under a seat or overhead..

Last time I tried to smuggle an 85 inch tube on board...lots of questions..not worth the strip search.

That must have been a hell of a body cavity search.

And a real hassle if they ask you to fold it in half or thirds...

Moon Over Miami - stunning one sheet for $13K:

Wow! Quite a price for 3/4s of a poster...

Also interesting to see the difference in pictures by PM and Heritage... Looks like PMs show no joining edge near the center right... And why is Heritage's black. I mean unless there were two of these posters with the exact same paper loss pattern...

Good catch. Heritage gave it a 3.0 out of 10 score and said: "Prior to expert restoration, the poster had up to three inches of paper loss in the left and right sides going into the black background and credits, but not the image of Grable. The masterful work done to this piece has it in excellent display condition. Touch-up work has been done to the folds. Good/Very Good on Linen."

Great score Wim, sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite.

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #4515 on:** March 23, 2013, 07:05:05 PM »

Good catch, Wim, and a pretty good deal.

I like the colors on this one but the cigs are a big turn-off:

as do i; in fact, i try to keep my cursor out of that general region of the screen lest i succumb to a sudden impulse of simply clicking the button for the sake of clicking the button (nevermind you the urge to actually bid).

Well I am glad I didn't have to compromise my integrity and bid on the 40x60 BAT... 10K! I don't have enough Audrey money for that...
