I did see this particular 1943 calendar going from as low as $50 to $125 sold, took a look at the auctions, I think the difference might have been that one had international shipping, the other not, so I'll be sure to include international.

[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2027, member: 51"]Thanks Brad and Terry. I had these scheduled for this week, but I think I'm going to hold off until the fall. I think that is good advice. Not sure about breaking up the set or not, that is a tough one. I did see this particular 1943 calendar going from as low as $50 to $125 sold, took a look at the auctions, I think the difference might have been that one had international shipping, the other not, so I'll be sure to include international. Also some said "Varga" others "Vargas". Not sure if that made a difference. I used both spellings in my listings. The unsold set is slightly different than mine, but same calendar, that's for sure. I don't know how you found that, Brad. Was looking under completed for sets, no luck. I'm learning about these. Was surprised that the magazine had a 12 page spread, the same Vargas illustrations, just like the calendar. I think that is what makes certain years of Esquire magazine sell better. I also spotted a sold BIN for 4 different 1940's Vargas calendars sold as a lot -- went for $500! I wonder if it might be worth just putting all four on for a week or two as a group, just to see if there are any takers. P.S. Back with an OLD BATTERY question. Same estate. Will start a new post on that one. Thanks![/QUOTE]
