That was a great buy back then to whoever managed to purchase the book. Now the book is worth maybe triple the asking price. I'm leaning moreso triple since this book closely matches how much a Tec 31 sells for in past sales.
this book started out as a 1.0 blue

I said it before, I say it again. Ugly ? Not at all. The best looking 7.5 copy, not by a long shot. But taking the post with multiple high grade AF15s with varying issues, this copy by no means is crapola. The low, low hammer price is what is making it "ugly"

Great minds think alike
. Someone overpaid ESPECIALLY with that glue on the cover which cannot be removed safely. If the owner wants it taken off, would likely lower the grade by maybe one or two points. That book will seem like an outlier.
whomever bought the book will NEVER see his money back, and the butthurt will be even greater than the Tec140

you know quite a bit, that was my final hammer too.
at today's hammer price, the winning bidder ( and whoever bid against him ) were obviously high on both crack and cocaine

There's 2 in Golden.
pls also start one in Silver, Bronze and Copper.
The WTB section would also be a nice addition, as the son is selling stuff faster than he can count the dollar bills...

Great collection indeed! Truly a 1/1 type of collection that each of us would love to discover, or in this case inherited.
I was reading comments about other people's viewpoint on different social media platforms and it seems that there are two sides/groups that are happening.
On one side of the group are people who are pissed off with the ex-wife (she divorced him because of hoarding all this stuff around the house) and the son (for not entirely interested with anything and resented his dad for amassing the collection) because of the $$$ signs they see after selling Dale's (the father) collection. Now that he has passed away, they are both on board and are praising him for the collection because they are reaping the rewards.
On the other side, there are those who emphatize with the family because as JollyComics mentioned above, Dale placed his collection above his own wife and son and not telling them exactly what he was doing. Everything was kept a secret and that no one is allowed to see exactly what he was buying. Yes that can put a strain to the marriage and father/son relationships.
But anyways, to each there own. Would've been great to hear Dale's side of the story, but unfortunately that won't happen.
Also what I gathered is that Dale was a regular at his lcs Kingdom Comics ij Detroit back in the late 70's and early 80's. Must've been the time he picked up some of these treasures.
I think that the guy had uncanny foresight to build a veritable life changing gameplan, and while I can understand that this caused a divide in the family, I too share the opinion that now that his "craziness" is gonna translate into a truckload of cash, that he passed from "obsessed loser to hero" in a heartbeat and gained all kinds of newfound "love and admiration". If his collection would have turned out to be worthless, he'd still be that "obsessed loser"

The CGC cert # for the 8.0 SP is still valid which is a mistake

If the estate came forward with Elvis's collection, have them graded by CGC, would they be the most famous pedigree of all time?
yes, absolutely

Hi, as I had mentioned to you way back via PM, pls increase scores for Detective Comics 36. Grade for grade it has less points than Detective 37. 36 has 1st Hugo Strange, 37 is last preRobin. Also 36 will mostly sell for more than 37 in any grade.Thx for considering.Scores adjusted for #25 and #37 per Overstreet Access 9.2
