    Looks good. The plural of story is stories. :)

    Thanks bercrystal and bronwen.

    I actually looked up the plural of story bronwen, because my first instinct was to write stories. But now I see I looked in the wrong place. Stupid ass Grammar Monster.

    There - I fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Thanks fig!
    I used to take pride in my listings, but ever since either I or my camera lost the ability to take good photos, it's torture to look at them.
    But if you want to sell, you have to list!!:)

    Looks really nice! Nice description as well.
    Just an observation. Your picture here makes the calendar look cream colored. On the ebay with blue they look really white.

    Update:

    I sold the calendar today for $300.

    I apologize to those of you who may have been watching the listing and got a weird $200 offer from me last week. I was on vacation and could only get online with my phone occasionally. I saw, too late, that I had gotten a $300 offer. It was too late to accept it, so I attempted to send a $300 offer to the person who had made the original offer, but somehow I wrote $200 instead of $300, and it was sent to all my watchers instead of just the one who had made me the offer. So, I panicked and cancelled the listing. :wacky::wacky::wacky: I finally was able to contact the buyer and she was happy to buy it for $300. Whew!!!!

    And this was only a single item from the collection she bought. Waiting to see what's going on the block next. You will show us @Bookahtoo pretty please? And describe in proper ephemera collector language.

    I have one other thing from this lot up on ebay right now, a very cute advertising calendar:

    Bronwen - I don't know that there is any proper ephemera collector language, but I'll try. :)

    That is a sweet little girl on that calendar, but I do think she is way too young to be advertising rubbers. ;) :eek::eek: :p :D:D:D :bag:
