My friend Bob Wayne just notified me of Bob Beerbohm's passing yesterday which seemed a bit odd only because he'd just responded to a FB posting very recently, either yesterday or the day before. Those who knew Bob or of Bob, knew him as a cantankerous sort and often stubborn, but a devoted comics fan and a historian ...albeit controversial... on the subject of comics for many years. This probably belongs in the notices section, but most from the GA side rarely venture over to General and this is where he's most known by legend especially to those who ran afoul of his passionate beliefs which he held onto like a junkyard dog. Bob was a devoted family man, collector and comic dealer, active from the late 60's on in the Bay area for many years. His writings, while often contentious, were filled with information and well researched, even when he may have reached conclusions not agreed with by consensus. His dedication to the hobby and advocacy will be missed. Obadiah Oldbuck will have a new chapter with Bob's arrival. Rest In Peace, dude!

My suggestion ...before I duck incoming tomatoes... would be contacting Ft. Knox to see if they have any Airbnb space available.

Yeah, we're not supposed to discuss pricing for owner's books here, but I think I can offer some advice without discussing your specific books or their values. Best advice I can offer if you don't subscribe to an analysis site like GoCollect or GPAnalysis is to log into an auction site like Heritage Auctions (HA) which provides sales histories of comics and search the specific titles and grades taking note of the most recent auctions to give you current trends. Otherwise, I'd suggest investing in a 2023 Overstreet Price Guide keeping in mind that the actual prices listed are very conservative (low) for grades and don't keep pace with rapidly changing market trends. Hope this helps!

On the plus side, I hear Charles Schultz collectibles are going for a pretty penny.
