Boston Garter display

First, it should be noted that TWO people bid over 6K on the piece. About Boston Garters, I like them because they are so different from anything we would put out now. Was it Steve Garvey who did an underwear pose, and causued a great stir? These guys obviously all feel perfectly at ease, advertising a product that all men use, are not embarassed about being seen in their underwear and garters--and the artwork is neat too.

I like them for the way they show how times change...besides that we get to see Joe and Matty in their garters!

When Ben first started rhapsodizing about the piece, I said, in effect "you don't REALLY know what you're getting here " (seller isn't sure it's a card glued to an ad piece. It might just be a replica of a card) but obvuiously, several people thought enough of it to bid enough to get a second-hand car with.
