By Bruce D. Taub | May 11, 2004
"PABLO PICASSO'S pink period masterwork, 'Garcon a la Pipe,' sold for $104 million last week, setting a record as the most expensive individual work of art ever sold at auction.

"If you look at the stock market over the last 10 years, it's plain to see that even bellwether stocks have been very volatile, to say the least.

Tire ashtrays hot collectible
AP Wire | 04/26/2004 | MEMBER EXCHANGE:
"But now, the quirky ashtray becomes the focus. For decades, those things were standard equipment in the Rubber City. You found them on Firestone Park coffee tables, in tire factory break rooms, on mahogany desks at the headquarters, on Goodyear Heights knickknack shelves.
Now? You find them on eBay, selling for hundreds of dollars apiece, sometimes for more than $1,000"

Denim faded, washed, torn and worn
The Daily Texan - Entertainment
"Wasaff said he has between 5000 and 1000 pairs of jeans in his collection, and he can tell the value of each just by looking for small markers.
One of those markers is a capital 'E' found on a tab on the back pocket of a select number of Levi's. According to the company's Web site, the big 'E' was replaced with a lowercase 'e' on Red Tab jeans in 1971.
This small change has made the big 'E' a hot commodity. According to Wasaff's price list, one pair of 501s with the capital letter on the tab is worth $150 to $250 wholesale."
