Those printing blocks remind me of the scene in Treasure of Sierra
Madre, when Bogart and Holt find "fool's gold" and think they have hit
the mother lode, only to have their dreams smashed by Walter Huston.
This "multi-million dollar appraisal" was one of many spectacularly
bad appraisals made a number of years ago.
If any of you disagree, I have a very large similar collection of
printing blocks I was consigned, and I will sell them for a tiny
fraction of the appraised amount, and the buyer can become rich
overnight. Any takers?

Hey, Glenn -
You could always build a cabin in the woods with all the little wood

I read that same thing about the 75K. And in truth, as I get older
all I want is a roof over my head, my bills paid and perhaps go to a
nice restaurant once in a while. Otherwise, feh, who cares!

Thanks for posting, unique find.
The woman says her rich friends aren’t particularly happy.
I did read a study that claimed that “money happiness” maxes out
at $75K a year. You can live comfortably and have some discretionary
spending as well at that level....

Yeah 10 million for 60,000 pieces id an average of
$166 a block. I don't think thats remotely realistic. I don't think
its worth more than $100,000
still a good deal for a $2000 buy in

Wow, the film production was great. I hope someone does put the
collection in a museum. It would be great for the Academy. The
blocks are beautiful....what a find.....

Has anyone heard about this?
In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a
massive collection of letterpress blocks and plates that were used
to make advertisements for movies in newspapers. They bought the
whole shebang for $2000 and have spent the last 17 years cataloging
and cleaning the 60,000 plates & blocks. The collection, which spans
nearly the entire history of the film industry from the silent era
to 1984, was recently appraised at ~$10 million and is available for
acquisition.
