So I guess there would have to be a valuation done by a reputable appraiser as to the “fair market value” of the letter and only the amount that exceeds that valuation would be tax deductible. Although I find it hard to see how they could appraise it very easy, as their has to be very few comparables. I think the best analogy is again that of a famous baseball, like Mark McGwire’s 70th homerun baseball that was sold for $3 million clam shells. Granted a league approved baseball isn’t worth more than $3 bucks, however if you were to donate that McGwire baseball to a charity it wouldn’t be valued at $3 bucks. Logically since there are numerous bidders who have bid the price of the letter up to over $130,000, the letter is worth more than the price of 4 pieces of paper and the ink. It would be a huge hassle to try and take a deduction on the bidders side, Rush has it easy, he just donates whatever he gets, and it’s deductible.

It may be “all over”....with one possible exception. I just went through a few pages of DUmmie threads and could find nothing on it. LOL! They are avoiding it like the plague, as they do with anything that makes Dems/Libs look foolish. I watched H&C this evening and was very impressed when Rush said he will match what it goes for. I am betting everyone who signed the letter is really feeling stupid today.
