Harvey Abrams, President of the International Institute for Sport and Olympic History sent me the following press release
The IISOH has the statue of ROCKY, famous from the movie ROCKY III, listed on ebay for $5 million in its first major fundraising event.
What is not listed on ebay — yet — is another artwork — the ROCKY BUST, a full-size figure of the head of the famous statue listed for sale at only $22,000 (twenty-two thousand dollars).
The BUST can be seen at

The IISOH is a non-profit educational, literary and research corporation that is organized to operate a Library and Museum devoted to the History of Sport, Physical Education, Recreation, Dance, Sport in Art and the Olympic Games.
The group is planning to construct a large campus facility in central Pennsylvania with a Library, Museum and Theatre surrounded by vast outdoor sculpture gardens, sports facilities and a restaurant/cafe.
