Julien's Auctions and TCM Present: Icons & Idols Hollywood, will hold the auction live and online in December.

One such piece from Marilyn's collection is

a handwritten note from Charles Stanley Gifford. After years of speculation, and DNA testing he was decided to be the father of the diva.

"This card is the only known material artifact that establishes any connection or communication between Gifford and his famous daughter," reads a release

Scott Fortner Marilyn Monroe historian/collector and co-host of the All Things Marilyn podcast discovered this car by chance. "This is the only known documented evidence of a relationship between Monroe and Gifford, which solves the mystery of whether or not she knew or had contact with her biological father."

The card has a little girl drawn on it. The message written by Gifford reads,"

"Dear Marylyn, this cheery little get-well note comes especially to say that lots of thoughts and wishes, too, are with you every day."

The estimated value of this note is between $2,000 to $3,000

The auction will also have Marilyn Monroe's clothes, makeup items, and several beauty products.
