First of all, I am mostly pleased with the outcome of my eBay bids yesterday.
There was one item -- an original window card for London's Odeon Leicester Square theater's presentation of "Lawrence of Arabia" from 1962, in beautiful condition, and very much predating most of everything available re: the film's advertising -- that I did NOT win.
I bid a pretty on it. Later in the day, I upped my bid to a pretty and a half just to cushion my bid. Unfortunately, it sold for a pretty and three-quarters. I'd have gone that high or more had it not been for a few other nice things I also wanted.
I got some Disney window cards in gorgeous color and condition for "Swiss Family Robinson" and "Mary Poppins." I also got pressbooks for "Third Man on the Mountain" and "Those Calloways," each with beautiful full-color covers.
And then there was an original pressbook for "To Kill A Mockingbird." Not in color. But something I'll cherish.
What surprised me was that I won 6 color stills (11 X 14) from "Becket"...several of which I think look exquisite.
But the huge prize for me -- one that kept me from bidding two pretties on the "Lawrence of Arabia" poster -- was a full set of gorgeous color 11 X !4 stills from "Camelot"....totally stunning.
