I must confess the price on the Plank shocked me as well. I'm not sad I don't collect anymore, because I just couldn't do it. It's always a thrill to sell great items but I realized a while ago that I could no longer afford them. So I enjoy them the few months I have them, then it is time to say goodbye. It's actually not that hard to do, once you get used to it.

WOW!!! I was way off on what I thought would be the end $$$ on the Plank. Was I the only one who though 25-35K?. Congrats.

I wish someone would make reproductions of those awesome A&G advertising posters.

If somebody knows how to do it, you can use the picture from my website at www.sloateauction.com to make a repro of some kind. Someone could even photoshop the piece missing on the left side and make it look brand new. It's fine with me and not a bad idea at that.

The owner could take the poster to a local giclee printer and have it done at reasonable cost. Giglee is a digital/computer printing method that can make high quality reproductions of photographs, posters and paintings. The processes has been used by numerous famous artists including Richard Avedon and David Hockney.

The best thing would to have the reproduction at a different size, so we don't get into any Fro Joy crap.
