..and just to add to that, unfortunately we'll now see vf copies with dull colors being overpriced!

Right, Adam - and it isn't every day you see a high grade FH book with such great colors. So I wouldn't say the hammer price was over the top.

I do agree, Tony. A unique collecting achievement. Steve, you are one of the good guys. I'm really pleased you've done so well out of the auction. Talk about perfect timing - if timing sales could be graded, this auction would be a perfect ten!

That one almost made me blubber!

All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall?

I didn't even watch the auction!

I'm so broke even this post is accidental - if not downright unaffordable.

Toledo copy

I have the PS Art books Planet Archives, which save me from temptation.

Maybe we can start a trend.

Not to be contentious, but I like it as a fresh way to appreciate the achievement in a single photo. So much so I might attempt one myself - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say!

What is the opposite of impeccable?

There speaks a man of impeccable taste.

Leaving aside what the most interesting might be, I actually wonder if Classics Illustrated would be among the most collected? One might say it is an entire pocket universe that only occasionally intersects with others.

Yay!

Now am really very happy for myself because I am connected with an organization which supports me to how I can overcome my sorrow and sadness and find many ways for me . The most important thing is that I felt my mother's pain as well.

My father name is Mohammed Shamim , he never supports us as well he didn't treat well . Every child wants that his father love them but my didn't care about it . He always drunk and didn't go to his work . MY mother name is Mustari Begum and she is a house wife . I have a elder sister who's name is Nafisa Warsi . I love her but she is not stay with us because my mother wants to educate us but she can't give us a good life so that she send my elder sister to my maternal uncle .
