Yesterday morning, 12-31-04, I was watching a Collector Inspector. The appraiser was going through a home when he came across a framed drawing on the wall. The lady of the house was a little surprised the appraiser would bring it up, it did not seem to be all that important of a piece of paper to her. She did tell the back story to it though, which is why I found it interesting:
Her husband was in the boy scouts in California as a child. (He grew up there and still lives there now.) One day, he was with his troop doing whatever it is that boy scouts do, when he noticed a man drawing pictures of the trains going by. This man then noticed this boy watching him and asked the boy if he liked the road runner. The boy said he did, then the man drew him a picture of the road runner, signed it, and gave it to the boy.
The signature line was: To Mark, 1970, Chuck Jones
Wouldn't that be a nice little piece of paper to have from your childhood?
(By the way, it was appraised at "at least $100.")
