We continue to spotlight donations from dealers, members, and staff.

As promised, another statue that will look great alongside the Death Dealer...

Donated by "The Bretschneider Family" this still glistening in the package statue is just waiting be rescued by the winning bidder.

Inspired by an iconic Frank Frazetta painting, this can be left in the unique packaging or removed to sit directly on your shelf or desk.
