Breaking Bad props auction for Santa Strike Force

MadsL

Hi, I live in Albuquerque. Yesterday I went to the sale today at Goodwill of props from the show, the production company donated props that had been used in Breaking Bad to Goodwill for sale.
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/...ction-20249831

Totally mobbed and by the time I got let in there was little left - just some books that had been used in various scenes; I left disappointed I didn't see anything all that cool. However, I did turn around and go back thinking that the books might be of interest to Br Ba heads on boards.

So with Mr E's blessing I'm running an auction to get one of these books - I will include a printed photo of the book at the sale - with the Br Ba props sign in the background.

I will also put together a few location bits and pieces; a napkin from Twisters, (the location Los Pollos Hermanos) a business card from the Crossroads Motel (aka the Crystal Palace), a flyer from the Octopus carwash (Walt's Carwash) etc. plus any other location souvenirs ideas you guys have and I can easily get. I should also be able to include a baggie of meth (blue rock candy) each if I can source one.

I will cover postage, but I'd appreciate maybe being able to send to one person in Ireland who will then split out the five books out to the winners. Any volunteers?

Donations will go directly to Santa Strike Force and I'll have nothing to do with the funds.

Here's a couple of photo of the items at the sale; I doubt it will be possible to spot them in a scene but someone might notice them. The shrink-wrapped item was the stove from Jesse's apartment by the way.

Here are the items:





Left to right:

Item BB#1 = Novel. Helleconia Springs by Brian W Aldis.

Item BB#2 = Novel. Hot Springs by Stephen Hunter

Item BB#3 = Lance Armstrong "It's Not About the Bike, My Journey Back to Life" (extra irony points for that one)

Item BB#4 = Spanish Children's book "La Isla"

Item BB#5 = Spanish Children's book "Festa No Céu" (Party in the Sky)

I have posted each item in a post below and will update the bids as they come in. Please state your bid and the item number. Once the bids close on the last day of September midnight Albuquerque time - you will have one week to make a paypal donation to SSF and send the donation receipt number to me. If you do not make the donation, then the next higher bidder will be the winner and have one week to donate and so on. I will send the books once all donations are in.

Suggestions for additional items (location souvenirs I can easily pick up) welcome.

Awesome Xmas present for a Br Ba fan

Please no spoilers - I'm on Season 2 right now.

Yeah, tough one. They were used as set dressing, so you need to have a great eye to spot them. However, they are genuinely from the sale and were used at some point during the show. May have been at Walt's house or Saul's office.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

Ha, yeah just two!

Myself and the brother are absolutely massive BB fans, and I'm sure he'd appreciate this as an addition to his christmas present, and the other is for me!
