Professional wrestling’s egotistical gladiators are never who they appear to be. They’ve all been created, solely for your ENTERTAINMENT! Their feuds and grudges are choreographed. The public is offered nothing honest. The McMahon family, even dictates the predetermined FINAL MATCH RESULTS! Yet, the American public is overwhelmingly entertained by Professional Wrestling. Last year, this entertainment/sport turned a $215 Million profit! Our vintage treasures await you. We’re offering fans of pretend vain wrestling heroes and heels a vintage old school 1970’s original Professional Wrestling Promotional Match Card Poster 22″ x 14″ heavy card stock. Pro wrestlers are always politically incorrect. Tag teams such as “The Assassins,” “Beer Money Inc.,””The Spanish Fleas,” Midget Team “The Mini Vans,” & Native American Tag Team “The Wahoos” all have names meant to offend fans. Names like “The Sheik,” “Andre The Giant” “The Big Boss Man” & “The Rock” aren’t their real names. When born, weighing just 8 pounds, did their parents really name them “HULK HOGAN!” or “The Undertaker!” The public xxx’s FAKE Wrestling. Our rare “2nd Golden Era” […]

He won 11 singles grand slams. He won a record 200 tournaments. Held the #1 world ranking from 1964-1970. The only male or female tennis player to win two grand slams in single calendar years. Laver was the first to exceed more than $1 million on tour. He won 11 major titles in just 16 tries. Rod Laver’s 2 French Opens, 4 Wimbledon Championships, 2 U.S. National Titles and 3 Australian Titles set the bar for Federer and all who follow him. Today Kareem Abdul Jabbar aka Lew Alcindor still holds the N.B.A.’s lifetime scoring record. Jordan and the others including Lebron James might never catch his incredible 38,387 points. In his second year, this 1970-71 Alcindor Milwaukee Bucks basketball card has him scoring 31 points a game with 16 rebounds as well.He changed his name to Kareem […]

Vintage Frank Capra Autographed Studio Publicity Photo

Frank Capra was an Italian-American film director, producer and screenwriter who became the creative force behind some of the major award winning motion pictures of the 1930’s and 1940’s. Nominated for 6 Best Director Oscars and winning 3 in just a 5 year span, separate Capra from the rest. Frank Capra’s Best Director Academy Awards for “It Happened One Night,”1934 “Mr. Deeds Goes To Town,”1936 and “You Can’t Take It With You,”1938 are just indications of his brilliance. He claimed “I made some mistakes with drama.” “I thought drama was when the actor cried.” “Drama is when the audience cries!” A Lifetime Achievement Oscar shows Frank figured it out. Capra wanted his films “to let every man, woman and child know that God loves them, that I love them and that peace and salvation will become a reality when they learn to love each other.” The messages he conveyed to his audience of “everyman” heroes triumphing over mercenary big business and big government have his classics resonate more than 80 years later. His 1934 first Best Director Oscar for “It Happened One Night,” was also the first film to win the top 5 awards. Best Film, Director, Screenwriting, Best […]

Classic Rodney Dangerfield Souvenir Respect – Bally’s Las Vegas Publicity Pinback – Dangerfield’s NYC Comedy Club Bonus Postcard and Matches

Rodney Dangerfield was an American comedian, writer, movie, television, stage, and radio voice actor. He was known for his catch-phrase “I don’t get no respect.” Rodney was the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies. He was a professional joke teller not a guy looking for psychoanalysis from a night club audience. So you got jokes & gags. Many are among comedy’s best. Rodney, “I don’t get no respect.” “My wife likes to talk to me during sex.” “Last night she called me from a motel.” R.D.”What a doctor I’ve got.” I said “Doc I broke my arm in 2 places.” He told me “keep out of those places.” Rodney was a major star at top entertainment venues. His Las Vegas act was a definitive comic event. He set fear on parade and all its consequences. Rodney, “Women show me no respect.” “A belly dancer said I turned her stomach.” Johnny Carson said “Quite simply no one was funnier doing stand up comedy than Rodney Dangerfield.” Jay Leno said “Dangerfield was simply the greatest.” Howard Stern said “Rodney was incredible.” “His stand-up was spectacular.” “His command of the stage was unequaled.” “His films, […]

Vintage Jack Nicholson Autographed Chinatown Photo And Batman Trading Card And Clint Eastwood Autographed Publicity Photo

Most of My Forever Treasures revered clients, have requested an idolized icon treasure! Our only choice, was to open our ultimate icon vault. We’re thrilled to offer two autographed photos of Hollywood’s biggest legends. They’re multiple Academy Award winners. Jack Nicholson & Clint Eastwood have both received Lifetime Achievement Academy Awards. Adjusted for inflation, their films have grossed more than $6.7 Billion. They’ve won 7 Oscars between them! They are loved worldwide. Jack Nicholson’s reputation as the coolest cat in Hollywood is the most long-lived and undisputed since James Dean. Cinema has pretty cool actors from Johnny Depp to Sean Penn but in his era, late 1960’s-2012 Jack reigns supreme.He’s not only chosen wisely in his films but maintained the persona that blurs the lines between studied intellectual and Hell’s Angel. His body of work as actor, producer, director and writer has almost defined American film art in the latter 20th century. When they talk about Jack in Hollywood, there is “no other.” He’s done it all authentically with an overall accomplishment of elegant discretion. From his career-altering role in “Five Easy Pieces”1969, “Chinatown,” “Cuckoo’s Nest,” “As Easy As It Gets,” “A Few Good Men,” “Terms of Endearment,” […]
