This item by THE BRADFORD EXCHANGE is the FIRST ISSUE in the "LOVE, MARILYN" COLLECTION by Joanie Schwarz called "BLONDE PASSION".  This plate comes in it's ORIGINAL STYROFOAM and was NEVER DISPLAYED.  This ITEM INCLUDES the CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY and all other papers that came with this purchase years ago.  Any discoloration or glare in the photos were due to the lighting in my room at the time this picture was taken.
