Talk About Inflation!

The average price of a vintage pin-up advertising blotter tracked by Blotto! has surged 54% from the first half of 2021 to the first half of 2022 from $6.95 to $10.75. This was highlighted by the sale on eBay of three Earl Moran pin-up blotters featuring Marilyn Monroe for between $31.99 and $86.00 in April with the Hubbard Pants Company as advertiser.
