In the first pic is a Merchandising handbook literature. It shows tons of different signs and what frames and how they went together with other signs. I might post some pics from the handbook later. Also a bottle plant souvenir, sprite boy bottle opener, and a pencil box. In the second pic is just some of the matchbooks I got. The last picture is some fans the top two are the ones that got stuck together. These are some other Coca Cola items I bought from the Coca Cola auction.

Naturally they stuck the 2 more valuable fans together. Oh brother! I hope the sticker comes off the bottle tour fan as well, without any damage.
Yea I know thats what had me mad. If it would of been on the newer ones i would not of cared as much. But the bottom one of the two was the only one that was damaged I will post a pic of it later on this. It was right in the middle of the fan too.
You beat me out on those merchandise handbook literature inserts. I had it at $40 with 13 seconds remaining and then suddenly, they "extended the bidding." Never heard of that before. Seemed unfair to me and I told them. Of course they told me it was in the terms and conditions, which it was, but still seemed odd. I really wanted those. How many inserts are there? A few items were shrink-wrapped and they didn't want to open items, which again, seems odd. How are you going to inspect the items before bidding?
I too, emailed all of the Fahey principles on the staffs lack of experience when it comes to handling and labeling paper/cardboard items.
Oh really, I was at first not planing on going as high as I did on the item. It ended up being worth it though. It has a lot of pictures of different signs and the frames they came with along with the big custom signs. Some of the custom signs were up to 26' long of different signs put together. There are 42 inserts in the handbook.
You need to show some of those shots here at CW. We would love to see the history, y3k.
I just posted some pics of the handbook.
