Hey Tom
So sorry to hear about your flood. I can understand how heartbroken you
must be. You have my sympathy.
I had a small flood a year ago. My stuff is also in the basement, but
luckily not on the floor. The flood started at an overflowing water tank in
the toilet on the second floor. But we all know water flows....... down....
Everybody was asleep already and I was watching TV. I can't explain to you
the panic I felt when I heard the frigtening sound of lots of water coming
down INSIDE THE WALLS !!! and having NO IDEA where its coming from or how
to stop it.....
Luckily, I caught it in time and the damage was minimal.
All the best, buddy
Zeev

will recover and be better
well 1st my heartfelt sympathy to Heritage and Grey and all dealers that
have thier reputaions questioned.
I have been in this Business since 1977 and many times things come into
question..
as mopers know I had a Oscar® that created lots of hoopla andthrough the
years may diffeant event happened that brought my character and business
under scrutiny. I will say this that if the auction house and dealers are
not upfront It gets out eventually and the people nowdays with the net can
varify.. I just spoke to a man that started the large character business
and sol a C-3po for 46,000.00 and many of the props to Planet Hollywood..
we talked on the phone and knew many of the same people,,back in 70s and
80s the stuff was cheap.. I mean you could get this stuff for like 300 a
costome and John lebold bought stuff for 50 cents at the studios, they
evem burned King KONG set or GWTW..he owns the King kong armature anyway
it gets hard to prove provenance as many wish to stay out of lime light,
SO my disaster today.. was my 1st water flood in basement....... what I
cant believe is that I stacked paper in the basement... this tops heritage
in my eyes..... I shoud be tared and feathered
so i did put some 2 x4 under some boxes...
So what did i lose... Some moviemagazines and some paper and some BOOKs
Most books
and superb books.. Like the Hiurrell style MGM lion Roars signe by Ted
Turnerm Loys of Films of
maybe 30 books.. Ive been trying to dry page by page with a hair dryer...
I was so overwhemled at seeing 3 inchs of water i couldnt function and
threw up in the store parking lot
when i got the sump pump.. these books were titles i save years ... Good
news is most was above water so I saved them..... But ill tell you when
you get that experiance.its stressfull..
I suggest everyone not follow that what i did and get your boxes in areas
wher water wont com it
