<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 211910, member: 88&quot;]<i>I&#039;m about a decade too late for that thread. One of the first &quot;collections&quot; I ever sold on eBay was a collection of wedding invitations and corresponding thank you notes from a huge number of notables. Most left to me by my mother, but many that I received as well. There were socialites (real ones, not the trash that have appropriated the term in recent decades), celebrities, royals, statesmen, etc. I realized a nice price for it as well. I sold it at auction, and if memory serves, it averaged out to about $73 per piece............and it included over one-hundred pieces..................</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Congrats on the wonderful sale!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> I have always said that some of the most valuable items are things such as these because they were not suppose to survive. I don&#039;t know about anyone else, but when I do receive a thank you note I read it &amp; toss it into the paper recycling bin. I have gotten absolutely ruthless in the past couple of years about tossing stuff that ends of cluttering my life.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
