A new eBay listing is offering a 76 x 99. 7cm / 30 x 39. 25in contact sheet created by commercial photographer Bert Stern that features a dozen images of Norma Jeane Mortenson, more widely known as Marilyn Monroe.
The mounted photo worksheet, which is described as being in excellent condition, was acquired by the New York-based seller rarepics914 from 'an artist friend. '

The contact sheet is currently listed for sale on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $195,000 USD. Interested potential buyers can also make an offer and request to arrange a private viewing with the seller. Seller rarepics914 has a 100% rating with 633 confirmed reviews.
