Omaha, NE – June 5, 2012 – Proxibid (http://www.proxibid.com), the world’s most trusted online marketplace for buying and selling specialized assets, announced today that it will provide online bidding for the liquidation of the estate of Jennings Osborne, a prominent Arkansas philanthropist. The Osborne estate is best known for its “spectacle of dancing lights,” a Christmas light display on the house that caught national attention in the late 80’s and early 90’s until Disney bought the display in 1995. The auction will take place on June 6-10 and will be hosted by Little Rock-based Blackmon Auctions. To view the auction catalog or to place a pre-bid, visit http://www.proxibid.com/blackmon.

The Osborne Estate auction will feature hundreds of collectibles, autographs, photographs, Walt Disney collectibles, furniture, rare sports memorabilia and more. The auction will also feature many one-of-a-kind photographs and rare autographs of presidents, church leaders, celebrities and famous athletes. Items to note include four solid jade statues, a Lalique dining room table, Elvis memorabilia, Babe Ruth baseballs and famous baseball bats.

“This truly is a collection of items that many collectors never get to see; these items would be unique, attention-grabbing additions to museums and personal collections,” said auctioneer Thomas Blackmon.  “And, because the auction is online, location doesn’t matter.  Whether you live as close as Little Rock or as far away as New Zealand, you can take part in this unique auction.”
