As discussed in prior articles (“Guernsey’s Auction: “The Pugliese Collection“”, “Guernsey’s Auction: “The Pugliese Collection” – Delayed to Early Next Year“), this appears to be a significant original prop auction event.
Looking at the Guernsey’s website today, it appears that the pertinent details have been established, including auction dates and locations and catalog information:
The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection
March 15 & 16, 2008
Palms Casino Resort
Las Vegas, NevadaThe Pugliese Collection may well be the finest collection focusing on 20th Century pop culture ever privately assembled. Approximately eight hundred and fifty of the most extraordinary objects imaginable from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese, a man who might well be described as a true visionary. Indeed, Mr. Pugliese is sharing his wonderful Collection with the rest of the world as he shifts his interests towards the creation of Destiny, the nation’s largest eco-sustainable community currently being sensitively created in central Florida. A portion of the proceeds from the remarkable event are earmarked for the Audubon Society, long known for its important environmental work.
