lots of low grade high census fox books; that 5.5 puts this high census book to shame.
I am starting to think that this perceived huge chasm between the supposedly large quantity of early Fox books as opposed to the almost non-existent quantity of later Fox books is probably not as wide in reality as we might think.
In speaking with many long term collectors and quasi dealers, they all knew that early Fox books were tough to get and were worth a lot of money in any grade. When told about what was happening with the later Fox books, they all expressed surprise and said that they probably would not have considered slabbing a low grade later Fox book since they had not thought it to be a worthwhile process due to the perceived low valuation of these books.
Obviously these were collectors and quasi dealers not in the know, but probably more of them out there than the ones in the know.
Full disclosure in all honesty I some how missed this post by Parker before my previous post so that would help explain the low census numbers. Probably bc i was so enamored by all the cool books as usual in this thread so who can blame me!! Look Ma, more cool colorful shiny Fox books
I guess we shall see moving forward if this brings more copies to market, raw or slabbed.
