Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.

1958 Topps "Gunsmoke" Original Card Artwork

Original 1958 Topps "Gunsmoke" card artwork (3-7/8 x 4-7/8 inches). This artwork was used to produce card #12, entitled "Deadly Aim," from this popular set based on the hit CBS television series. The full-color flexichrome original artwork features Matt Dillon, Marshal of Dodge City and the 1950s symbol of frontier justice, displaying his deadly marksman form. Though he preferred to handle the many cattle rustlers, lynch mobs, fugitives, stagecoach bandits, and gunslingers of Dodge City without use of a gun, those who did not cooperate were treated accordingly. The artwork is crystal clear and in flawless Near Mint to Mint condition. Accompanied by two examples of the issued cards, which are ideal for display (front and back) with the original artwork. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600.
