I bought this calendar at an estate. The cover has been exposed to the elements but the other months are in great shape. Should I take apart and frame each month or is it still worth more together as a whole?
wonder who the model was -- real beauty -- so "the girl next door"
To a collector, your calendar value is enhanced by its entirety. In near mint condition it would sell for several hundred dollars. In this condition, maybe $100 on the eBay. You may be able to squeeze a few extra dollars out of it by separating and framing the other five pages. But then you ruin the integrity of the piece (if that's a concern, to a lot of sellers it isn't). Me, if I was looking to sell it, I'd put it up on eBay and hope two hotshots duke it out in a bidding war. It's a cool calendar from a great decade for advertising. See below for a handful of auction results that may be an indicator of current value.
