For sale: One used lion costume.  Yes, that lion costume. (A textile conservator with the L.A. County Museum of Art confirmed after examining it that its “variation in color and tone, all of the hair whorls, bumps, nick, hair length were exact” matches of the costume seen in “The Wizard of Oz’s” major scenes.) Its current owner hopes its sale will help fund his planned Museum of Television in Phoenix.  Photo: The Comisar Collection
