George, did you contact the Quincy Society (if it exists) to make them
aware of your auction?

Today in the Wall St. Journal was a very interesting article on an upcoming
eBay Premier auction of several M. Monroe prints, and _negatives_, AND
their reproduction rights.  eBay expects the lot to go for $750,000 to one
million dollars when the auction runs in early March.  They made sure to
contact potential bidders well in advance.  According to the WSJ, they
contacted Playboy magazine among others (the prints are outtakes from a
nude session with the at the time still ambitious rising starlet).

Very interesting, about the copyright being included in the lot.

Boris
