August 2006 -- Day 2 – The Auction!
The auction this year was very strange…a lot of the big ticket items sold very low, if at all! The auction featured beautiful artwork, a Lucy Ricardo Rag Doll in very good condition, plates, comic books, magazines, postcards, scripts, movie posters, and a fantastic photo of Lucy, Bob Hope, and “Henna Hooper” on the set of “The Facts of Life.”
Each winning bidder had the option of buying a bottle of wine signed by Carole Cook and/or a signed poster from Marjorie Lord’s seminar. Ric said during the auction that after so many long flights, Marjorie didn’t have time to sign both the wine bottles and posters in May so she took the posters home with her to sign. Both items were selling like hot cakes!
The Lucy rag doll only went for $500, which was shocking! Some of the beautiful artwork was left unsold. I don’t think anyone even bought the now infamous Danbury test market plate.
I walked off with an original script for The Lucy Show (Lucy the Stockholder) and a 16mm print of TLS’s Lucy Is A Chaparone. I can’t believe it!
