This is the point where the whole thing gets ridiculous, memoribilia is a neat thing, but a $200 Berger wisk broom? whats next, $300 ice scrapers? I bought my first car, a big block SS Chevelle for $200! Somebody give me some Tylenol.

Hey, if you had $100k Berger COPO car, what's another $200 to help brush out the carpet? Better buy it now, it might be back on EBAY at $300 soon! Best of luck BB!

The memorabilia is actually more fun than the cars ! Man would I love to find stuff from V V Cook or Jack Head Chevrolet...I found some stuff from Orange County International Raceway a year ago to go along with one of my cars and boy did I have to pay up for the license plate frame...Tylenol won't work !!!

Marlin, I guess you are off the hook as for having a $200 broom, the Deuce dont have carpet! LOL!

First of all, Joe knows memorabilia. His collection is one of the top 2-3 in the supercar world. I would not hestitate buying anything from him (Joe, Grossman emblem?). And, I understand why he was upset over the fake remark. In the same manner as having a collection of legit supercars and not wanting to be involved with clones/fakes, memorabilia is the same way. If it is thought that the Berger piece is fake, what does it say about the 100s of other items Joe has? There are numerous folks out there re-producing supercar related items, including emblems, decals, patches and even jackets. It is buyer beware when it comes to memorabilia. We could use more Joes out there who do their homework when buying and/or selling memorabilia.

As per the Berger broom, I was surprised that is was not sold the first day. I have not seen such an item from any of the supercar dealers. Items associated with the supercars are bringing top $$$. Authenic items are very much in demand, which is the reason for all of the knockoffs. And, the rarer the item, the more valuable. Autographed and/or personel are the most desired.

By the way Marlin, the crushed Deuce was not green, it was Gobi Beige, guess the former owner couldnt stand the color so he sent it to the scrap yard! Now before you all jump on your high horse, I am just kidding! Actually, it was Cranberry Red. As for Joe and his wisk broom, Joe and I have done business together, I find his memoribilia collection no less important then the cars themselves. Most people buying a new car would toss the complementary items out, which makes that stuff actually rarer then the cars. What joe does is just another aspect of preserving this hobby. But, hey Joe, you managed to scoop up the baldwin brochures before the auction ended, which I was high bidder on, so now you are fair game for the wheelbarrow race with me on snapping this stuff up. If I win anything you really want you can have it at my cost, to me it is just the thrill of the chase and the good old American competitive nature we all have. Marlin, guys like you and I will always be in the Hot Seat in one way or another, that comes with the opinionated personalities we both have. This whole thing is so much like the years when we were all concerned about who had the coolest Tonka Trucks, and my dads car has four headlights and yours only has two!
