I had trouble with the link too. Just go to eBay and search for this item number:
250087432788 Interesting to read the questions and answers at the bottom of the listing (now closed)...what a story this guy tells..... Question & Answer Q: Can you give a general idea about how many sets you have? thanksFeb-28-07 A: Due to a confidentiality agreement with the purchaser I am not at liberty to disclose this information. Sorry. Q: Hi, what a fascinating discovery! I can understand if you don't want to reveal, but I would be vey interested to know how many other sets of cards were discovered and what price you sold them for. If you would prefer to wait until after the auction has ended to disclose that would be fine. Thanks. Feb-28-07 A: All I can say at this time is that the box of cards I bought is believed to be the entire run of cards that was printed for this particular movie. Yesterday I sold the whole box to a single buyer for more than 100 times what I paid for it a month ago. Considering what he offered me, I decided to accept his offer and take the money and run. Q: Hi, Can you tell me how you got this, where, when, etc??? It is fascinating! I am just curious.and where are the others and what pictures were used for them? Feb-27-07 A: Here's the story: These cards were recently discovered in a huge storage vault in L.A. that was being emptied out. They were actually thrown out! Someone rescued the box of cards from the garbage truck and decided to try to sell the cards to make some money. He had no idea how rare these particular cards are! NO IDEA! A friend of mine who knows I'm a big MM fan and collector heard that they were available for sale by the person who rescued them. I made an offer for the entire box of cards (I never thought they'd accept), and to my surprise the seller accepted my offer and now I have what I believe is the entire stock of these vintage lobby cards! I am offering just one card for auction to see how much interest it generates and how much money is bid on it. Then I'll decide how and when to sell the others (ie: whole sets or indiviual cards, etc). The best card in the set shows MM in the pool with her leg up like she's climbing out of the pool. It's definitely THE best MM lobby card I've ever seen. The rest of the cards are pretty nice too, but I won't show them until I'm ready to sell them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- On Feb-28-07 at 17:32:38 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE: As of today, February 28 2007, ALL ADDITIONAL LOBBY CARDS FROM THIS FILM TITLE HAVE BEEN SOLD! We accepted an offer from a third party to buy ALL of the remaining Something's Got to Give lobby cards at a price we couldn't refuse! (The money they offered us was HUGE!!!) Therefore NO MORE CARDS from "Something's Got to Give" will be offered in future auctions! -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joe Burtis Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] Monroe's Last Film Hi, I was wondering if anyone saw this listing for lobby cards from Monroe's "Something's Got To Give" on Ebay and whether it was a hoax: http://cgi.ebay.com/SOMETHINGS-GOT-TO-GIVE-Marilyn-Monroe-Lobby-Card-LC_W0QQ itemZ250087432788QQihZ015QQcategoryZ60305QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewIt em Regards, Joe Burtis Motion Picture Arts Gallery 90 Oak St. E.
