If you have 45 grand burning a hole in your pocket

If you’ve read The Peanuts Collection, you’ll have seen the reproduction of a Schroeder Christmas card which had been given out by a member of the You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown cast decades back – bearing a drawing created just for his use by Schulz. Well, that piece of art is now for sale – yours if you’re willing to slam down $45,000. I think the price is a mite aggressive, but they are willing to entertain lower offers.

It would make a pretty amazing gift for the fellow Peanuts fan in your life. But if you want to save some of your money pile for other uses, you can get them Peanuts 60th Anniversary Yahtzee, or the A Charlie Brown Christmas board game, or a Lucy and Schroeder salt-and-pepper set,  or a Schroeder tie. You can even drop $400 on a stuffed Woodstock, feel like you’ve gone all out, and still retain more than 99% of your money pile.
