 Stop it Clark you are not going anywhere This is the only thing that keeps you busy and relaxed and fun just like me. I love to see my books and money would only be spent on food and Drinks. I say comic books are a huge part of my life and having reprints just don't cut the mustard . If we don't have things to enjoy than what do, we have 

Totally agree! Who needs food, Drinks and mustard anyway?

But you’ve still got some good books, I thought. This may be your visualization of the future, but this doesn’t tell your full story. Right?

Over the past few years I've focused on building a library of hardbacks, across a wide range of subjects. Posted elsewhere on this forum quite recently.

Might be in both our best interests if you help set the 'post-Promise' market with some strong bids! 

I think you'll do more than okay!

I have a few dozen Planets of which a fair number are in similar grades to @mikefeen so I will be looking at the auction results with keen interest to see where the market stands 'post-Promise', so to speak. So, quite naturally, I hope you do extremely well, Mike, even though I will be holding on to mine!

Crippen with C/OW paper and inferior colors vs Promise with OWW paper and superior colors.  But the price on both surprises me.  There are 6 copies in 9.4(!) and one sold last year for $432.  I can't believe there's much pent up demand for this book.   

Ah, 'pent up demand'. Those were the days!

'To BP or not to BP, that is the question:whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune'

At least I think that's how it goes. (It's all about Heritage apparently)

who counts BP?

I thought it was a verb.

There has been discussion about how well Promise books will hold their value, comparatively speaking. I have no answers, but I thought it was interesting that recently Heritage sold the same issue of a book, both pedigree and both 9.4s. The Promise copy came out on top

The colors on the Promise copy seem significantly better.

Idle speculation, but I wonder what would have happened to the auction results if the Promise had had the inferior colors?

In a hidden dimension, far from here...

Back to the Future is a timeless classic.

Making sure he had not been followed, he went to view his secret collection, only to find the darned rats had taken everything.
