WOW!!!!

And they have some affordable stuff - WSL ads, old original newspapers, the olympic cutaway - all under $500. And since you asked, Sig, the Cutaway's going to be mine!

The more expensive stuff - well, among the "Estimates available upon request"s we have a Titanic Lifeboat picture and plaque, an original deck chair, a Third Class menu, two different First Class Menus, a menu card, and a couple of Ken Marschall paintings.

In between we have reproductions from the movie/miniseries, a Vinola Soap ad for $2500 - $3000, lots of table furniture (glasses, plates, salvers, etc.) survivor autographs, a watch, marconigrams from$2000 - $6000, photos, all kinds of stuff. PM me if you are especially interested in anything and I'll let you know what prices we're talking.

Teamtuna,
Thanks for the Good Morning America site. I missed it by only a 1/2 hr.

So are you saying the most inexpensive things are $500?

No, there's stuff for under $100. I'll look it up for you as soon as I get back from the dentist's.
