I know $147 sounds steep, but they put the photo inside a photo mailer, put the photo mailer inside a cardboard box, and put the cardboard box inside a vintage pinball machine.

And no combined shipping if you win more than one. So 2 photos = $300. OUCH.

I'm already figuring out if I end up with a few items, how to get down from Boston to NYC for a day and pick up in person. It'll certainly save a bunch of $$ to do so!

I think Christies is used to shipping $5 million paintings to Dubai not 1957 Topps to Omaha.

Yup, I was "told" in another thread about this subject if I have to question $164 in shipping charges for an 8x10 photo, I probably should not be bidding....

Yeah, I kind of figured that was their away of telling me I didn't belong. I was just surprised their reply wasn't peppered with a few words like "whilst" and "colour".
