This avatar is fresh off the presses. I had it taken last night at an event I was shooting at Dodger Stadium. There was presentation by someone who specializes in sales of memorabilia. He had various presidential signatures including Andrew Jackson's. He also had a baseball signed by Joe Dimaggio and Marilyn Monroe. He explained how they go about obtaining sports star's autographs and authenticating them. He had a particularly funny story about Mickey Mantle. The Oscar I'm holding is one that he can legally sell since it was presented before 1960. Apparently, awardees are not supposed to sell them if they received them after 1960. The one I am holding is for Best Original Screenplay, 1959 for Pillow Talk. I think it cost him $200,000. He had bats used by Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth.
I asked him what piece of memorabilia he would most like to have. He said it would be Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. I told him that I know the person who has it and that I have seen it too, and even held it. Of course he knows that person too. He said the value of that piece of paper would sell for a minimum of five million.

So it's not so much an award as a restricted license, detailing what the recipient may and may not do with it?ulysses5019 wrote:The Oscar I'm holding is one that he can legally sell since it was presented before 1960.

I wonder if somebody could get around the $1 rule by offering a long term lease to somebody for a post 1950 Oscar.ulysses5019 wrote:http://tinyurl.com/42kz8c

Yup. Mini-me's First Communion was this weekend.
We have a very similar toy--metal, weighs a ton, but has a wagon trailer on the back rather than spikes on the front. Rain Man got it for Christmas when he was two, and Erin rides it now. It's virtually indestructable.
