Here is an interesting Errol Flynn auction item over at eBay containing some of Flynn's radio shows, including the famous Joe E Lewis Roast in which Flynn speaks the words “In Like Flynn” and makes a statement in adult terms that floors all the professional comedians in the audience whom for years had been making fun of him…
Ten folders of digitally reproduced items! Scrapbooks, newspaper articles, FOH stills, Flynn's will, FBI files, and the files of several of his friends including Herman F Erben, and the tough to find copy of Flynn's Playhouse 90 performance in WITHOUT INCIDENT…
It's a genuine ERROL FLYNN FIRE SALE!
Worth checking out…

Yes, definitely worth checking out! And the price is only $20 (plus shipping I assume)! I'm so tempted to purchase it all, but I'm a rather young Flynn fan, and I feel all those rare and important items should go to someone who's been a Flynn fan for a lot longer than I have. I wouldn't feel quite “worthy” to own them. :-)
But maybe, if someone here from the Blog purchases all this awesome Flynn stuff…they could then share some of it with the rest of us here on the Blog (as in, posting some of it here for us to view)…. :-)

Rachel, if you look to the left there is a folder called Recordings and some of the listed radio shows are in the folder. This is a really nice selection of documents. I thought I saw the newspaper scrapbook here as well?

Yes, I saw that Kathleen. I agree — it is an awesome selection of documents. And yes, I believe a newspaper scrapbook is there too.

All of the items in the auction are digital reproductions of the scrapbooks and newspaper articles, radio shows, etc. Nothing is original, and the movie Without Incident is on a dvd-r as stated in the auction. What you are getting is on a series of DVD's, that is why the price is so low! There are some great items in this auction, and it is very affordable at this price, I think.
I am going to have to reload Flynn's radio shows that are here on the blog because the host where they existed no longer exists and I have not gotten around to doing this yet!
There are a few pictures not showing up here and there and I also need to spend some time hunting them down, too. Like any home, we need a little repair work from time to time!
