I wonder what the 30 cents is for ? You would think an even $10,000.00 would be enough LOL

Maybe it's one of those things where he needs to raise exactly that much money to save the orphanage or something.

Well whatever he needs the money for with things the way they are on ebay lately especially with Beach Boys items he'll be lucky if he gets a bid for $10.00........people just aren't bidding like they used to

It wouldn't suprise me in the slightest if the B.R.I. scout for Ebay ( .. 'Surfmadder', I think) tries to put a stop to the auction and claims that the booklet is B.R.I. property  police

Btw, .. Hi, Lisa!  Cool

Here's the seller's response when I asked about the booklet's provenance (and after I had to explain what "provenance" meant):

I bought it from a dealer in LA. They got it from a collector in LA( on consignment) he had a Smile item pictured in the Goldmine memorabilia book, I'm told.
Doug somebody, I think.
 He originally bought it from them.(  the same dealer) I think they said.   


That ain't very convincing provenance.  Sure, the thing's probably real, but the dealer doesn't seem able to make much of a case for it.

So the evidence that this is the real item is:

-the person the guy bought it from told him that it was
-it's bigger than one of the reissues

Not much to go on for my $10,000 bid!

10 Grand seems excessive. I think $2500 is probably more realistic. They are quite rare, however. I guess someone is testing the market.

A hearty Welcome Back, Peter!

Bald, I can't believe you have a Bald Iggle for an avatar.  I'm a huge Al Capp fanatic and am doing some work with his characters for Capp Enterprises right now.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Apparently it has the credits for Guy Webster and Frank Holmes, so it probably isn't a proof (which I have, missing the credits) but one of the mass produced booklets.

Oh, and you don't have to bid $10,000.  There's a "make offer" option - you could see if he'll take $100!
