Heritage Galleries in Texas is having Session 1 of their April auction tonight. Walt's signature hammered at $507

I'm watching live, waiting for my auction to finish to see if I win (yeah, it's a Valentino thing) I figure I will know in about an hour whether I am richer or poorer!

Is it the funeral mass card? Macabre! And I mean that in the best way.

Yes, it is. This is mega rare, the NY funeral, I've only seen two in almost 30 years. It will complete the set. I know, macbre! Let me edit and qualify, at least I don't collect the postcards of his body lying in state like a friend and fellow collector....

This also has an appeal because it comes from Clifton Webb's estate (that man never threw anything away)

Also bidding on a fabulous signed photo of Nita Naldi. Then I must quit, I am moving after all!

I had to log off right at the bitter end, we were having major T-storms and I had no desire for the PC to get zapped (even though I have about 60 surge protectors)

The answer is, nope, lost both. The signed Naldi went cheap, for 191 with the buyer's premium, the funeral invitation went for 776. I did not lose it by much, I had 650 on it. C'est la vie and my wallet is happier today. At least I do not have buyer's remorse, had I won them both I would have dropped nearly a grand. So the search continues
