Great shape except for that sticker on the backside of the box.  How much will it affect the bidding?

It ruins the value of the piece completely.  

Think of the Pieta with a "Hello My Name Is.... Mike" sticker.
The Mona Lisa with "Leo loves the 2nd Mrs. Giaconda" spray painted on it.

No value whatsoever.  Remove it from your 'Watching' list.  Just move along.  Nothing to see here....

:twisted:


Well THAT went over like a turd in a punchbowl!

i see BC is putting a good fight up this time round - should make for some fun now!

david could do with it to make a window in his box-set house :)

Hey

Just for the record ..  i'll stick my oar in while my mate's making flies for other regulars.

I expect red_bus to wade in at no less than $5000 any less would be an insult  to his past bidding. Nay $7,500 .

Dang...no battle scars or nuthin' on this baby.  Just some corner dings of love.

I thought woody boxes were required to have massacred sides and electrical tape everwhere.   :lol:

I love the prices these things are getting.  Go! Go!  And stay away from the stuff I want!

As always, I may change my mind, but I think that I am out of this one for now. :)   Then again, who knows, sometimes I just can't help myself. :oops:

Talk about disposable income.  The high bidder djb_astro has been bidding up on a ton of stuff recently.  8O

I wish I had the time and the money....but reality calls.  Gotta go mow the yard now.  :|
