The St. Louis, MO AuctionOctober 25th, 1997
About the Auction...........As told by Gabrielle Hrin
The auction began the next day at 10:00 am sharp. I was so nervous -- there were only about 30-40 people at the auction. I had set my sights on three in particular -- I was able to get two of them so I felt pretty lucky. Some went rather cheap others sky high! The prize items for bid and what they sold for were:
The shocker (and the one I also wished for) was the Relpo Lady (#K190 - P/W #220) that went for $925.00!!! Also going a little high were Christmas heads, in particular young children/baby types. The auction was over in about 4 hours. I had two very nice ladies from Belleville, IL (close to St. Louis) that we sat next to. Carol (one of the gals), has over 300 heads in her collection! I had a great time... I was able to get four beauties to add to my collection, spend a great weekend with my mom and meet some very nice people!
