<B>V.T. Hamlin - Alley Oop Daily Comic Strip Original Art, dated 10-26-38 (NEA Service Inc., 1938).</B></I> Collectors of pre-1940s Alley Oop originals almost always insist on an example featuring a dinosaur. This daily features Alley Oop with a dinosaur in all four panels, plus an amusing pay-off to the gag, in the last panel. The art is in Excellent condition, and the image area measures approximately 5" x 20.5". V.T. Hamlin's stylized and beautifully detailed artwork is filled with a kinetic energy, and the expressions on the dinosaur's face are nothing short of hilarious. And we all know about Alley Oop -- "He's the toughest man there is alive! He wears clothes from a wildcat's hide. He's the king of the jungle jive. Look at that caveman go!" Don't let your chance to own this great piece become extinct... get that bid in now! <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> 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.
