Elton John Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. On
Elton John Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. On October 23, 1975, Elton John was honored with a star in the holy firmament of Hollywood's Walk of Fame. There are roughly 2000 stars on this famous star-studded strip of Hollywood Boulevard, only a modest percentage of them earned by recording artists. Thus it was one huge and historic day when an enormous, overflowing crowd cheered for Elton John as they saw him receive, not only his well-deserved star on the sidewalk, but also the honorary "Star Award" from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. It was also a particularly colorful and glamorous event because that year, Cash Box Magazine, important music trade sheet for over fifty years, sponsored a whole Elton John Induction Gala including arranging for Elton's dramatic arrival in a glittering golf cart while wearing star-shaped glasses! This Star Award is in beautiful shape, the blue velvet clean and fresh, the brass plaque 10/10. Grammys and Oscars are very tough to find to be sure. But so are these one-of-a-kind Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Awards. Just check with Hartt Trophy (the official award designers in Hollywood) or the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which jealously guards the exclusivity of their event and its award. Here we offer you an exceptionally rare opportunity. Provenance: ex-Edna Albert (wife of Cash Box Magazine publisher George Albert, sponsor of Elton John's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony). Dimensions: 10 x 12. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
