Welcome to my online sale. There are 3 pages: The first page is SRV, second page is music memorabilia, and third page is Hollywood, Sports, Automotive, Antiques and other items. You are on page 3 now. There is a link to the next page at the bottom.

Click on the camera to see each item. The photos are low resolution but should be a sufficient guide. Most of the posters were shrink-wrapped on acid-free board at the time I took the photos, and they show a lot of glare and reflection, so in most cases the posters are much more attractive than shown in these small photos. Poster sizes are approximate.

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. $5
