Here we go, another piece of Hollywood royalty. Let's fast forward a little bit to 1944. Look at that adorable picture of Bob Hope. The world?s number one comedian. Isn't that incredible? So you know that in 1944 he and Bing were probably right at their peak. That is the most adorable picture. And if you look at the back of this, you can see a beautiful Coca-Cola add. Now these Coca-Cola ads were extremely collectible. I have people that come in here and just ask for Coca-Cola ads. You find these on the back of Life magazines and also a lot of beautiful Coke ads on the back of National Geographic. So people may collect them for that. Another reason someone may want to collect this particular magazine is because there's a beautiful picture of Betty Grable. Now, this would be collectible on many fronts because not only do you have Betty Grable, who's the pin-up girl of the day, but we also have Chesterfield cigarettes. And, there's another collectible called Tobaciana which is people that collect things about tobacco. Yes, there are people that collect glass eyes too, but that's for another show. Anyway, this is a Chesterfield ad and this is Betty Grable and look how gorgeous she was. And you can get the haircuts, the hairstyles. So, many reasons why anyone would want to collect this particular Life edition.
