To all my collector/picker friends on DU -

may the New Year bring Picassos and Grueby pottery and Faberge eggs and signed Lincoln photos. And a better place than ebay to sell them. Now . . . on to spring and tag sale season!

Never can tell what is behind some of those gawd awful frames. We once found a 'large folio' Currier and Ives print.

Happy New Year to all. May you find lots of good stuff.

inside frames so if you see one that is in the original frame, chances are more will be behind it. The most I've ever found in one frame is 2, but you never know what you will find.
