Posting some pics from the Breast Cancer Awareness auction.
Here is a pic of the 3-some that went up for bid.
Berry, Mecca and Denise.
Wyatt was the lucky winner of this date auction.
I ended up winning Denise for a date.
And she bought my date.
Can't lose with that arrangement.
LOL

Lag was kind of bad, so pics were hard to get.
(Sorry, no time for editing, just want to post these)

I have completed my train MOC which I will be donating to this year's Esther Walner Charity Auction at Brickworld 2019. The auction item will include as seen here:
1. Santa Fe EMD F7A Warbonnet Locomotive with full power Function equipment and stickers by OKbrickworks. This model is 8-wide and is ready-to-run.
2. Santa Fe EMD F7B locomotive, unpowered, with stickers by OKbrickworks.
3. Power Functions remote.
4. USB drive (16 GB) with the PDF of the instructions for both locomotives
(Track not included)
Credit where credit is due, I would like to thank and recognize the following:
OKbrickworks - for not only donating the stickers for both locomotives, but for offering to sponsor the B unit, which prompted me to include it in the auction.
Nick O'Donnell - for donating a large chunk of the parts from his Bricklink shop - Cincinnati Brick Co.
Karl Joffre - for donating all of the Power Functions elements, allowing this model to be ready-to-run - motors, battery box, remote, everything.
And last but not least Nate Brill, who's peerless work on his NYC E unit windshield made my original MOC possible.
If you are attending Brickworld this year, I encourage you to attend, even if you have no interest in bidding. There has been discussion that if you are not attending, but know someone who is, you could bid by proxy. Bryan Bonahoom is happy to take your money (for charity, of course).
As it looks out into the Keeneland Sales Pavillion to be auctioned, a young thoroughbred doesn't quite know what to make of all the commotion that centers on it.
According to the Keeneland company, their September Yearling Sale is the world's largest sale of yearlings.

Via Heritage Auctions: Del Shannon, Platters, Drifters, Gary "U.S." Bonds 1961 Biggest Show of Stars Concert Poster. An original cardboard window card advertising "The Biggest Show of Stars for '61 - Fall Edition" caravan tour touching down at the Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio, Texas on Wednesday evening, October 4, 1961. Printed by the esteemed Globe Poster company. A great, fun, hit-making talent line-up peppers this poster (you pretty much had to have a hit to join a BSOS tour).
It's funny how sometimes the songs listed on the poster were solid hits - Del Shannon's "Hats Off to Larry," Dee Clark's "Raindrops" - while others were wannabes that tanked - The Platters' "I'll Never Smile Again," Gene McDaniels' "A Tear." But almost everybody had an upbeat photo, a song title and some color... check out that bright Day-Glo orange from Globe, which sizzles under a blacklight. Here's your shot at a Globe poster that consists of light blue, yellow, florescent orange, white, dark blue (venue info) and black. That's six colors which really make this thing sing. Last time we sold a version of this poster, in July 2022, it notched $9,375. Measures 17" x 22 3/4" and grades to Very Good condition. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: This is another in the series of wildly popular BSOS posters which had about a 10-year run from the mid-50's to the mid-60's. None of them are easy to find, however, so there's never been a collector who's been able to complete the set - they're that rare.
Here's our exact run-down of the song titles found on the poster:
Brook Benton "Boll Weevil Song" (the biggest pop hit of his career), The Platters "I'll Never Smile Again" (a #1 for Frank Sinatra decades earlier), Del Shannon "Hats Off to Larry" (Top 5 pop), Dee Clark "Raindrops" (#2 pop), The Drifters "Please Stay" (a rare misfire for them), Gary "U.S." Bonds "Quarter to Three" (#1 pop and famously loved by Bruce Springsteen), Gene McDaniels "A Tear" (Top 40 pop), The Jarmels "A Little Bit of Soap" (Top 20 pop), Curtis Lee "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" (Top 10 pop), Phil Upchurch "You Can't Sit Down" (Top 30 pop) and the Cleftones "Heart and Soul" (Top 10 R&B, Top 20 pop).
Condition details: Strong toning throughout is the main issue. There is also a nail hole at top center between the two big words, and a light brown water stain in the lower left corner area which is mostly seen in the margin and the Upchurch yellow oval, and not too distracting. The upper right and lower right corners have two-inch diagonal creases; color is not broken in the blue "M" but it is near the "T" of "Orchestra." Down in that corner there's a little tiny "61" written in pencil. The quality of the printing process is questionable in the Platters' faces right down through the Drifters' faces, the Jarmels' oval and then the Cleftones' name and photo also. Not damage, these are printer's flaws. And the verso has a few nickel-sized "tape lifts" from when it was once posted.
Grant and I visited the Hostetler Hudson Museum Auction preview in Shipshewana, Indiana on August 3, 2018. Eldon Hostetler had established a stellar collection of Hudsons and their associated marques, showcasing them in his museum here in the northern Indiana Amish country. He has passed away and the collection was auctioned on August 4. Many of the cars sold for higher than expected prices. This very elegant phaeton sold for $132,000.
Ray Chapin, President of the Hudson Motor Car Company, was appointed Secretary of Commerce by president Hoover in 1930. When President Hoover made plans to meet with Latin American leaders in panama, Chapin offered this special Hudson Phaeton for the trip. The car remained in Panama after the trip and was reportedly used as a taxi for several years. Eventually it was returned to the U.S. and acquired by Harrah's Museum. The car was purchased by Eldon Hostetler in 1994 and restored to its original colors.
