ESTELLE GETTY - GETTY'S EMMY STILL ON SALE; NO BIDDERS

GETTY'S EMMY STILL ON SALE; NO BIDDERS

With only a few hours to bid remaining, Estelle Getty's 1988 Emmy for The Golden Girls was still listed for sale on eBay this morning, despite avowals from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences that it would seek to quash the auction. With an opening bid set at $15,000, the trophy had received no bidders. One reason may be that a similar trophy, awarded to producer Raymond Katz for The Miracle Worker in 1979, was quietly auctioned off by Bonham's just three years ago for $5,975.
