Just thought I would share with you all since you are fans as well. I found out (almost too late) that they were auctioning off a lot of Buddy Ebsen's personal items from the Beverly HIllbillies. They even had his personal script of the first episode which i really wanted but it went for way too much.

I was able to purchase Buddy Ebsen's personal script of the "Return of The Beverly Hillbillies" tv movie. The movie wasn't that good but it was the only thing I could afford... I will keep it safe and proudly display it in my tv room.
