Does look nice in the pictures though.

Also a UK release of Billie Holiday – Jazz At The Philharmonic for $538.12. I guess Billie never goes out of style!

It’s Christie’s Auction House (not Christy’s); 2.) That second pic is not a “…certificate of authenticity…”, it’s just a photo of the catalogue entry/wall tag next to the instrument; 3.) gregorythefish – you’re *totally* worthy! 🙂 x c

Believe it didn’t sell, might have been pulled.

I’m surprised the estimate is that high. Makes me wonder what one of Coltrane’s saxophones would be worth.
