Here’s a phrase I bet you weren’t expecting to read today.
Today, for work, I found it necessary to type the phrase “Margot Kidder’s Pants.”
“Margot Kidder’s Pants.”
“Margot Kidder’s Pants.”
You can see Margot Kidder’s Pants, or at least a small piece of them, right here, in this auction I put up today on the eBay.
In case you’re unfamiliar with these things, “Pieceworks” cards (or “Memorabilia cards,” or something similar) are trading cards that contain little bits of costumes or props from movies and TV shows that have been cut up and pieced out in trading card form. It may seem a bit odd, but we’ve had some of these cards in the past go for several hundred dollars in auction, so somebody out there likes ’em. And they can be kind of neat, having even a tiny portion of something from your favorite show.
However, I can’t shake the vision of someone desperately trying to get the entire press run of a particular costume card in an attempt to reconstruct the original item. (“I only need 47 more pieces, and Buffy’s Homecoming Dress is mine, mine!”)
