SHOWSTAR TO LAUNCH ARTSTAR.COM BETA IN LATE SEPTEMBER INTERNET'S FIRST ART MEGA-SITE WILL PREVIEW ITS INAUGURAL EXHIBITION OF ONE OF THE World's Largest Collections of Coca-Cola Memorabilia SEATTLE, Sep 14, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Showstar Online.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ABID) today announced that the beta version of its art mega-site, ArtStar.com, will go live on September 29, 1999. The launch will preview the art mega-site, as well as showcase its inaugural art exhibition called, "The Taste of the Century: The Chapman S. Root Collection." With over 12,000 collectibles, this is one of the world's largest privately owned collections of Coca-Cola memorabilia, amassed by the former chairman of the Associated Coca-Cola Bottling Company. "For the very first time, visitors will be able to experience one of the many unique exhibitions we will be offering on Artstar.com," said John Punzo, president and CEO of Showstar Online.com. "We are very confident that customers and shareholders alike will be very pleased with the site as we have hired some of the most talented Web designers and their talent has translated itself into a Web site that we feel will receive top accolades." Visitors to the site will have an opportunity to win some of the items that will be auctioned off on the site. Among the collectibles in the exhibit are a 22-karat solid gold replica of a World War I Coke container, as well as a replica of Star Wars robot R2D2 bearing a Coca-Cola can designed body. As Root was an avid collector of most memorabilia, a life-size, restored Union Pacific Dining Car from the 1950s is just one of the hundreds of Americana ephemera to go on display from the 20th Century. To view "The Taste of the Century: The Chapman S. Root Collection" visitors can log onto artstar.com.
