MOVIE CAR & AUTOMOTIVE RELATED |
 |
1969 Jaguar E-Type Roadster. I guess I should start this garage sale
with something actually in the garage! This is a beautiful classic car.
One of only a few automobiles in the Museum of Modern Art in New York
City. Always among any list of most beautiful cars ever made. You'll see
the Jaguar E-Type in countless movies, on record covers, in commercials
and TV shows. This particular car was in the movie Bottlerocket -
Luke and Owen Wilson's first movie, filmed here in the Dallas area in
1996. In the movie, James Caan plays a notable character named "Mr.
Henry" who drives this car. The car is part of Mr. Henry's identity.
I have had the car and driven it sparingly but regularly since 1999. I
have no idea how many miles are on it because the previous owner replaced
the speedometer without making a note of the mileage. It runs great and is
a lot of fun, getting stares, whistles, thumbs-up and questions virtually
every time I drive it. These cars are becoming more valuable all the time,
having increased in value about 50% since I bought it. NADA average value is
$60,000, but E-Types have sold for $80-100,000. I bought a '69 because
after researching all the models I felt like it had the best of all worlds
- the styling of the early E-Types, the improvements that eight years of
building the same car provide, without the unpopular styling changes and
mechanical headaches and expense of the later 12-cylinder cars.
Jaguar stunned the automotive world
with a timeless design that is still regarded as one of the finest in
history. That car was none other than the
E-Type. “Half a century of
progress has not diminished the significance of the E-Type,” says Mike
O’Driscoll, Managing Director Jaguar Cars. “It was a sensation when it
was launched, and remains Jaguar's most enduring and iconic symbol. The
E-Type is simply one of the most exciting cars ever created and a legacy
to the genius of Jaguar's founder, Sir William Lyons.” After
all, what other car is a permanent exhibit in New York's Museum of Modern
Art? Even the proud Enzo Ferrari said about the E-Type that it was “the
most beautiful car in the world.” If one was asked to portray the
sixties in the form of a car, the E-Type would be the obvious choice.

HOLLYWOOD AUTOGRAPHS |
 |
George C. Scott. American stage and film actor, director, and
producer. He was best known for his Academy Award-winning portrayal of
General George S. Patton Jr. in the film Patton, as well as for his
flamboyant performance as General Buck Turgidson in Stanley Kubrick's Dr.
Strangelove. He also starred in popular films The Hustler, The
Hospital, The Day of the Dolphin, and Twelve Angry Men. He has
signed the program for his one-man play Clarence Darrow. I obtained
the autograph after the performance. Framed |
$150 |
 |
Julia Roberts. Obtained by me in person after her
performance in New York on Broadway in the play Three Days of Rain.
If you were a ticket holder for that performance and got in line quickly
enough after the show, she would sign programs on her way from the stage
door to her vehicle. I will include a copy of a photo I took of her
signing a few seconds before she signed for me and a copy of my ticket
stub. She has signed the Playbill for that evening. You can find 50 or
more "signed" Julia Roberts items on the internet every single
day for $10-25, but you know she doesn't sign that many autographs. She
probably didn't sign any of them. If you want one you can trust, here it
is. I have two available. |
$250 |
 |
Bob Hope. Among the greatest comedians who appeared in
vaudeville, on Broadway, and in radio, television and movies. He was also
noted for his work with the US Armed Forces and his numerous USO tours
entertaining American military personnel. Throughout his career, he was
honored for his humanitarian work. I got this autograph in person during
his visit to the Bob Hope Theater on the campus of S.M.U. in Dallas.
Beautiful signature on the program for the event. Framed. |
$125 |
 |
Gregory Peck. An Academy Award-winning and four-time Golden Globe
Award-winning film actor. He was one of the most
popular film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s, and played important
roles well into the 1990s. One of his most notable performances was as
Atticus Finch in the 1962 film version of To Kill a Mockingbird,
for which he won his Academy Award. President Lyndon Johnson honored Peck
with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1969 for his lifetime
humanitarian efforts. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Peck
among the Greatest Male Stars of All Time, ranking at #12. I obtained his
autograph in person after his show in Ft Worth just a couple of years
before he died. I think the program, "A Conversation with Gregory
Peck," has been released on DVD. He sat on
stage and told great stories of his life and career. Nice bold signature
on an Italian movie poster for Roman Holiday, one of my alltime
favorite movies. |
$150 |
 |
John Houseman. Along with Orson Welles, Houseman founded the
Mercury Theatre, best remembered for their 1938 radio adaptation of H. G.
Wells' The War of the Worlds. Houseman produced more than two dozen films,
including the 1946 film noir, The Blue Dahlia. He first became widely
known to the public, however, for his Golden Globe and Academy
Award-winning role as Professor Charles Kingsfield in the 1973 film The
Paper Chase, a role which he reprised in the television series of the same
name. You may also remember him for his TV commercials, including one for
a brokerage house, saying, "They make money the old-fashioned way -
they earn it." I got this autograph in person on a program
before a lecture he gave at S.M.U. in Dallas. Framed. |
$150 |
 |
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Widely considered one of the greatest NBA
players of all time. During his 20 years in the NBA from 1969 to 1989, he
scored 38,387 points – the highest total of any player in league history
– in addition to winning a record six Most Valuable Player Awards. He
was known for his "Skyhook" shot, which was famously difficult
to block because it put his 7' 2" body between the basket and the
ball. Abdul-Jabbar's success began well before his professional career; in
college, he played on three championship teams, and his high school team
won 71 consecutive games. You may also remember him from the movie Airplane!
I got this autograph on a Sports Illustrated spread at the hotel
where the team stayed in Dallas while he was playing for the Lakers.
Framed |
$150 |
 |
Figure skaters Brian Boitano and Surya Bonaly. Nice bold
signatures on a piece of plexiglas (supposed to look like ice) Very
elaborate signature by Bonaly. These were Olympians on tour and I ran into
them
in the hotel and got the autographs myself. |

SPORTS POSTERS, Etc. |
  |
1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. Rare signed lithographs of artwork which
hung behind the ABC commentators during the broadcasts. This print is more
rare than most of the artwork available for purchase during the Olympic

posters for sale in gift shops. The artist, Bart Forbes, is famous
for his sports art and for US postage stamps. Investment grade.
Autographed by the artist. Sold as a set of two, each approx. 24x39.
