Hi from Joe B in NOLA. I think my best "find" was running across a lobby card from 1935 on Ebay one day about four years ago. I paid $35.00 and, though I don't know the exact worth, I suspect it was a real bargain. The picture is the 1935 Max Rheinhard'd "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and on

personal favorite was finding my special one sheet (red
