With a week left in the auction, the current bid is $255. From the auction listing:
This is an ad caricature of Ed Roth for Revell Models. There is a little paint missing on the frame border also a small scratch on the lower left hand corner.There are some small discolorations on his nose, a small scratch underside of the nose and on the hat. This is a great piece of Ed Roth memorabilia to add to your collection. There is a small plaque that is missing on the bottom of the frame, not sure what it said. The sticker says" Revell Authentic Kits". It is a little dirty and could use a cleaning for display.
