Grammy Auction On eBay Is Live: You Can Now Bid
Monday, November 27th, 2006The Grammy Holiday Auction is now live and runs until December 7, 2:30 p.m., Pacific Standard Time.
You’ll find the Tom Jones package here. There’s even a slide show so you can see each individual item close up.
The bidding starts at $100, a lot less than the £1,000 Charlotte Church paid for Tom’s portrait at a recent auction in Wales.
And, the bottom line is that you (or someone special) get some terrific, rare, memorabilia and an excellent cause (and one of Tom’s favorites) gets a donation. It’s the best of all worlds.
The Grammy auction site says:
“What’s New Pussycat?” Let us show you: this Tom Jones memorabilia package is for the ultimate Jones fan. Included in this package is a signed book Tom Jones Tribute To A Legend 1964-2004 which celebrates 40 glorious years from his first studio recording to entertainment icon. Jones has signed the inside front “Best Wishes, Tom Jones Nov. 13. 2004.” Also included is a signed photo of Jones that reads “thanks for supporting MusiCares - Best Wishes - Tom Jones.” Along with the signed book is a size large black ultra cotton Tom Jones T-shirt (not signed) and a copy of MusicWeekly — directly from the UK with a wonderful 16-page birthday tribute article of the one and only Tom Jones.
