There are two sets of beautiful vintage photographs of Rose Marie Reid swimsuits available on eBay. Note that these are ORIGINAL photographs that were once used for swimsuit advertising campaigns, not reproductions.

And interestingly, one set’s current bid is 10 times higher than the other set’s!

Which is why I wanted to remind everyone how important it can be to take a peek at a seller’s other auctions before you do your bidding. Perhaps someone really, really wanted one of the pictures in one of the sets but maybe that someone didn’t even realize a second set was available!

In any case, I have my eye on these bathing beauties.  If you want to bid or also watch the bidding fun unfold, just click the links.

Set 1 and Set 2 both available at Kathleen’s Vintage Addict.
