In fairness, I had my suspicions it was ivory but wasn&#039;t totally sure.&nbsp; It seemed to slide under the radar and all three were sold without a problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; I notice some auctions with ivory advertised loud and clear, not exactly sure where Ebay stands at the moment.&nbsp; Maybe it has to do with international shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>The amazing set of 48 miniature portraits of Shahs and their wives (Sothebys valued the collection at 10K) were refused for sale.&nbsp; Sothebys called me and said they had some &quot;good news and some bad news&quot;.&nbsp; Good news was value, bad news they couldn&#039;t take them due to new ivory regulations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
