Check out the CONNIE HADEN silver (silver-plated?) cups that have just been listed on the big auction site : starting bid : $1500. Interesting write-up on the cups, mostly quoted from Bill Palmer.

I have actually held this set of cups in my hot, grubby little forepaws. While I was in Nashville near the beginning of February, the seller sent me a set of photos of the cups and asked if they were genuine Paul Fox cups, the question being whether Paul or Danny had ever produced silver plated cups. I knew that Danny had made some. I told him that in this case, I really needed to see the cups in order to identify them correctly. So he offered to send them to me for inspection.
As soon as I opened the box, I knew what they were. Almost everything you see in the listing is what I sent to him with permission to quote me. Some may argue with my estimation of the low number of sets that still remain; however, my information comes from a very reliable source.

I recall Pete Biro posting here that he once had a set of these too.

I recently received information that the set I have from Roger Klause originally belonged to Slydini, who gave them to Mike Skinner. Mike gave them to Roger as a birthday present.

Bill, when you think of the famous performers that have used so many of the cups in the museum and the number of people they once entertained, that is as magical as the collection itself I think...

KICK ME HARD...PLEASE!
Before Palmer (and his fountain of information) I traded my set to Jeff Busby for something worth $80.

There's one exhibit in particular that I told my wife I would sell the house for if it was ever to come up for auction. She was not receptive to this proposal.

So are these Paul Fox cups he has listed or actual Connie Haden cups?

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler

I've never forgotten watching his televised performance with this cup as a young man. I'm not suggesting I'd PAY the value of the house at our hypothetical auction btw, but I'd have to free up some capital from somewhere... anyway She has forbade it. |

It wasn't all that expensive, Erwin. I spoke to Paul Stone at the WMS and told him that I'd purchased this cup. He said that Paul Daniels had more than one of them, so don't be surprised if another shows up somewhere. If it's the same kind of cup, I won't bid on it.

HE sold 3 of his trademark tables that had been used in pubs / clubs for years only a couple of months ago. I am sure I was watching the chop cup (though I didn't bid) a while ago, perhaps part of the Fisher collection?
