Now you can own a piece of Brady Bunch history with Eve Plumb's own memorabilia up for sale
You could own Jan Brady's script for the famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" moment!
Hello, Collector's Call? We've got some hot items for you.
Julien's Auctions has announced a new sale event titled "Brady Bunch and More: Eve Plumb's Jan Brady & Career Archives" that would make any Brady fan say, "it's a sunshine day!"
The lot contains scripts, behind-the-scenes goodies, and personal items from Jan Brady herself. One notable entry is Eve Plumb's autograph book, which contains autographs from series creator Sherwood Schwartz, Florence Henderson (who sweetly signed it "love, mommy"), Robert Reed, Ann B. Davis, and her onscreen siblings.
You can get the script for the Brady Bunch pilot, "The Honeymoon", which interestingly has the original series title The Brady Brood printed on the cover with "brood" scratched out and "bunch" rewritten in its place. Also included are Plumb's own annotated scripts for some of the series' most iconic episodes, including "Will the Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up?" where Jan dons a curly black wig, "The Subject Was Noses", where Marcia gets nailed in the face with a football, and "Her Sister's Shadow" which includes Jan's famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" line.
Other items include episode call sheets, photos of cast parties and scripts for Plumb's work on Westerns like Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, and The Virginian.
In the wake of Barbiemania, maybe you'd be interested in Plumb's vintage Barbie watch from the Sixties?
However, our favorite item included is a newspaper clipping that Plumb apparently kept with her all these years: an article from the Los Angeles Times declaring The Brady Bunch "the worst" of new shows coming out. We imagine Plumb getting a good laugh out of it from the top of the ratings.

She must have been a very organized young lady, or her parents saw the monetary promise of all those scripts even back then.
I agree with you that I wouldn't purchase this kind of thing, but do have a couple pieces of sports memorabilia that mean something to me. Like a signed jersey from a baseball player, Casey Sadler, who advocates for Cystic Fibrosis. (My son has cf). And a signed football from Boomer Esiason, whose son Gunnar, also has cystic fibrosis.
