Well, an odd & lucky success...
There was local fund raising at the local shops for breast cancer research
in my suburb over the weekend.
One of the things they had on was a silent auction type of thing, but you
merely wrote down how much you wanted to bid, and if anyone wanted to bid
higher, they just wrote down a greater amount. Everyone could see each
others bids.
Anyway, one of the items was a "The Other Boleyn Girl" poster signed by Eric
Bana. As many of you know, Eric lives in my suburb. Apparently he was going
to be unable to attend the fund raisert (althought i did hear he did pop
down for a few minutes today) so he put up a poster from his own collection
for auction which he autographed.
I noticed no one had placed a bid so i thouight i would open it at $10. I
put the bid on and forgot about it.
I recieved a phone call late today telling me the poster was mine!
I quickly picked it up and noticed it was an American advance one sheet on
heavy stock glossy paper which Eric has boldly signed it.
A very good score!
