Default Old Hollywood movie star pictures

I worked at MGM Casino here in Detroit. When they closed the original building after building a new one, they sold a lot of stuff. Steve and I bought some great pictures..they are huge with beautiful gold frames. We thought we would be buying a house with a basement that we would convert into an entertainment room. When we were there on our lifestyle visit, we visited a rec center that seemed to have a Hollywood theme. I am wondering if they would be interested in a donation of really cool pictures. If not, we need to sell these since I don't want to haul them down. They really are quite nice, matted and with art deco frames but I can't imagine them in our new place down there. Right now one of them is hanging in my office, it's a neat picture of Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, taken when they filmed Saratoga. The largest ones are about 3'X4'. I have Judy Garland, Grace Kelly and Natalie Wood. Is there a way to contact that rec center? Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!!

Oh my!!! They sound wonderful!!!! I wish I had some place to put something like that. I love the old pictures of the stars when they were stars.

Please contact TV and let them know of your collection so we can all enjoy them.
