FANNING SPRINGS What’s Selling on eBay?

“explore the difference”
Point of View by Deborah Abernethy and Mike McLeod

Antiques It is with sadness that I announce that Deborah Abernethy passed away in February from an
illness. For more than a decade, she has diligently given freely of her time to make “What’s
17452 US Hwy 19 N Selling on eBay?” a fun feature and an informative read for thousands of collectors and
Fanning Springs www.PointofViewGifts.com antiquers. As a memorial to her passing, one of her first collaborations with me is below.
It is from August 2008. –Mike McLeod

–DEALER SPACE AVAILABLE– 33 in very good condition for their age. Four have pin holes, and one has some
creasing and black marks, but the rest are basically unmarked. There is one
card that looks mint and unused.
WILLISTON - REDDICK - OCALA DA: Lobby cards were made to be displayed in the movie theatre lobbies.
They are usually 11 by 14 inches and in sets of eight. Collectors love these,
BELLEVIEW - CRYSTAL RIVER as evidenced by the sales price of this group. There are five of these from
Creature From the Black Lagoon, and the condition is good for being from
Williston’s Newest Antique Store 1954. The title card is considered the best and most costly of the group. The
Back Door Antiques title card from Metropolis brought $4,481.25 at auction. One from the Bride

of Frankenstein, 1935 version, sold for $4,780 at auction. So this set of five for
36 E. Noble Ave. · Williston $1,525 seems like a bargain.
