Thanks Tom - You're one of the real pros and it's always a pleasure when you weigh in on any of my efforts.
It's true I've collected since I was a little kid in the 1950's - And have been lucky enough to live off my goodies when times are tough - or when I have to disappear to write screenplays. But I also sell wonderful things consigned to me by my friends - The Photoplays came from a 90 year old gentleman in a rest home - I've helped a number of old star families find homes for their goodies. Like Darryl Zanuck's daughter. It is an honor and a pleasure - And like my 10 years at the Fox Archives acting as a parish priest for the old gods - It's a way to give back for the life-saving gifts the movies have given me. Glad you like the variety - I'm a something for everyone kind of guy - The only thing I really had trouble moving was a cemetery plot someone consigned to me. I guess the market is soft on second hand graves. Thanks for noticing. Alan On Jul 27, 2013, at 8:33 AM, [email protected] wrote: >> >> what a eclectic group of stuff Alan !!
