Lilac: Do you know how much Vino $1,600 buys?!?

As soon as that Lottery comes through...

of course she does, that's why she's selling the poster.

Lilac,

Considering the feelings towards France at this time it may be a tough sell.

Does ebay have a european site. It may be that it would be an easier sell overseas.

I do not mean this as a political statement. I'm trying to give honest advice.

GA - I have to admit that that never occurred to me.

My mother owns a French antique store. CHOCK full of French, Belgian, Spanish, etc., antiques - enormous to small. People are still buying them! But you make me think...

I doubt that the anti French sentiment would carry over to antiquities. There is a lot of sentiment against French wine however. That may affect wine related items.

I think moms store will do ok.

I had no idea those posters went for that much. Wow. I'd love to find some smaller and not so expensive foodie type posters for my kitchen, but I just haven't gotten around to looking.

TJ - These are the screen painted posters on canvas. Really a work of art. Only a few at a time were produced by the original French printers.

There are a lot of reproductions available for some of the more popular posters, but they're not worth as much and aren't as pretty. The one I have has that patina that art gets after a few decades. Very cool.

Lilac,
Nice photo of Mr. Buckley.
I'm going to have to put my 'Grace' CD back in the car.

Wow, I had no idea. Learn a new thing everyday, eh?

Budman - the car is one of the best places to listen to Jeff. Especially if you have a stereo system worth its salt. His voice is transcendental on good speakers.
