Post by WhipDude »

I have this book right in front of me and it is the official price guide to autographs and memboilia's. I found Indiana Jones in here. Listen to this.

Handmade sixteen-plait bullwhip of kangaroo hide 196" long , used by Harrison Ford in all three Indiana Jones films sold in Decebmer 1999 for $21,150, what do you guys think of that? there are several others would you guys like me to put them up on the same thread because teh other props arent a bullwhip they would belong in a diff. fourm.
