<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 197657, member: 649"]Several years ago, I bought a period Bessie Pease Gutman print for $5.99. I knew I'd probably get about $100 for it on the bay (and I did). When taking it out of the ratty old frame in order to prep the print for auction, I found a WW2-era cardboard Wrigley's gum advertisement by Otis Shepard being used as backing board... got $200 for that, despite some tears! (Have to admit, I kinda wish I kept it... I love the image.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]56238[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
