I, being a collector of Fay Wray memorabilia, bid on the auction as high as I possibly could. In retrospect I should have asked for some financial assistance from a friend or relative, as it really wasn't that extravagant at all, but the final cost was out of my own personal price range. Alas, I did not win the auction. That alone was disappointing, but not nearly as crushing as when I contacted the winner, who told me she bought the collection to sell off individually, which she proceeded to do over the next year or more, and I watched as she scattered a wonderful collection to the corners of the globe - and reaped an unfathomable profit while doing so.Steven Warren Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12192074857907078076noreply@blogger.com
