| Amazing. A few thoughts: 1. The estimates seem almost comically low. Every single item related to his career is going to sell for a LOT more than the estimate. Some of them will likely sell for thousands above the estimate. 2. It's nice that he owned Charles M. Schulz "Peanuts" paperbacks, but so do a lot of people. What really makes my heart happy that he also owned original artwork from "Miss Peach" by Mell Lazarus, a wonderful comic strip that is nearly completely forgotten today. 3. As a lover of mysteries, I'm happy to see that he owned two copies (one inscribed) of Dilys Winn's "Murderess Ink," a delightful book about the role of women in mystery fiction that I received as a Christmas present in 1979 and still own today. 4. As much as I'd love to own all of those posters, the two items I'd most love to get my hands on are the Sondheim-designed board games, which would provide countless hours of enjoyment. What a great testament they are to his seemingly boundless creativity. |
