    Only 350 of these were made so if you want one you will have to blow your savings.

    The original statue was donated to the American Cancer Society by John Wayne's Family. It was auctioned at the Cattle Baron's Ball held at South Fork Ranch, Dallas, Texas in 1981. The proceeds went to the ACS. All of the cast of "Dallas" attended except JR (Larry Hagman). Entertainment was provided by Johnny and June Cash. After John Wayne's death it was reported that when asked if there was anything he wanted in his hospital room - John said "I want my statue because it's what I am, an old man fighting his last battle".
