I have an item I'd like to sell, but I'm unsure what it's worth- I'm not even sure I want to spend $20 for eBay to appraise it- it might not be worth that much! So tell me what you think: it's a program from Lew Wasserman's 50th anniversary with MCA party held on 12/12/86. The most interesting thing about this item is an unplayed 45 rpm with Frank Sinatra singing new lyrics written by Sammy Cahn for this event to the song "The Lady is a Tramp"- only for this event it was renamed "The Gentleman is a Champ". The record is dated with the above date, lists Sinatra, "special lyrics by Sammy Cahn, original lyrics by Lawrence Hart and music by Richard Rodgers". In addition, the program lists the menu from the event and the speakers, which included Sid Sheinberg (President of MCA at the time), Johnny Carson, Doc Severinson and the Tonight Show Orchestra, Frank Sinatra singing the above mentioned song as well as a number by Gladys Knight and the Pips! There are numerous photos of Lew Wasserman, including ones with Presidents Reagan, Carter and Lyndon B. Johnson. There are also photos of MCA in 1916, 1956 and 1986. Finally, there are more photos of Wasserman with Alfred Hitchcock at the Oscars, Jimmy Stewart, Liza Minelli and Sammy Davis Jr. If you've read this far, thanks for bearing with me. Please let me know what it may be worth. Thanks!

Hello adun613 - Sorry, I wouldn't have a clue as to it's value....but will offer the suggestion that you might want to copy and paste your question in the Ebay Outlook portion of AW. Might get more responses there, as this section (Round Table) is more for chatting than ebay business.
