For the price (at about $40.00 per), the current crop of Jerry Garcia ties are amongst the best deals you can get in neckware. So are Martin Wong Screenplay ties. As for your $1,000 per tie claim, I can actually believe it. Salvador Dali came out with a line of ties in the 40s (not to be confused with the tacky limpy clocks and cacti ties that have recently come out) that are virtual works of art that can sell in that range. For me, the ultimate ties are Vitaliano Pancaldi ties made in Bologna Italy of the finest silk and silkscreening techniques. Each tie is a work of art and retail now for about $150-300.00 per tie. But I don't like the designers they have now; their best "era" was their art deco period of the early '90s...those ties sell on ebay USED for about $75.00 to $150 per tie. Despite what you or others may think of Rush Limbaugh, he was so famous in the 90s for wearing Pancaldi ties on his TV show that he parlayed it into his own line of ties (now defunct, I think) that themselves have become collector items. Power ties is what they're called. I have Pancaldi ties that when you wear them you get at least 2 or 3 compliments per day. Here's an example of a classic Pancaldi from the early 90s (hope the paste comes out): > But the point is that I wore one of them every day, > and NO ONE EVER SAID DICK ABOUT THEM.
