woowoo

My condolences to his family. I never met him but read a lot about him and was shocked that a long-time collector like me was selling his books. I guess it made me think when it was time for me to sell and have money before I go. God bless Jon Berk. I just found this hope its ok to post if not let me know.

Found this on Facebook today great picture.

Ya he's not the cool guy he was in the 90s with all those cool books and ya that's bald.

There is a Marvel 1 in this picture. We got this

Oh..............don't we yearn for the days of yore when we had a full set of red hair and we could pick up those beauties for what was probably back then perceived to be "crazy" prices. Seriously though, absolutely loved your Sleepers column in the early issues of the Gary Carter edited CBM magazine before it all went to carp. Ya Luther hair all gone think he is bald now

Oh sure, now you show up That bottom pic was from the first time I had ever set up at San Diego - I was 23 and wanted to make a good impression with all the West Coast collectors. Hope it worked. Guess it didn't... Guess your forgettable even with all that great gold.

Thats our very own @Crowzillathat posted that he had a hard time selling his for $1000 above.

I take it for $900

I saw these for sale on Ebay from the guy who had the photos himself he wanted to much, but I did save the pictures from the listing. I forgot the Action 12 on the bottom.

The books I cut up as a kid to finish this would be considered a grand vizier and I completed it

we all have regrets.

Your right @CGC Mike got his eye on you.

Hey Mitch hope all is well. Ian got upset in 2015 when DC started doing the reboot stuff at number 1 again. I think he thought it was bad and lost interest in starting over with the new number 1 and he was being Haggled really bad by the buyer to sell. Guess the buyer thought he should have died by now, that is only my opinion. I just think he reached the point of DC starting over and being haggled to give the collection to the buyer and at that moment said take them. Ian now realizes he made a huge mistake selling and its all starting to hit him with seeing his life work going up for sale. I really feel for Ian because he was always an honest and fair guy to me with a great collection. I will say I was vary jealous of him since I could not get what he had but that is what people do.

I have no idea. Kind of been between Ian messaging me at 3am and Ivan messaging me guess I am the go between since Ian is keeping his word not to contact Ivan. My understanding from Ian is he sold the books to party A with the understanding he got to keep them till he died. Ivan had the job to give party A the value of the collection what he thought the books were worth this was before covid and off they went to Auction house at 10 million Ivan said was worth only 3 mil. Party A still went for the 10 million he was told they were worth. Now party A gave Ivan the books to sell and permission to break the set up as he pleased. Kind of confusing But I am in contact with both Ian who has been an honest guy to me and a friend with the most passion for comics I have ever seen and Ivan who has been one of the most honest social media friends I had very sad situation for Ian who still loves his books but made one mistake that cost him a 40 year collection which might be in low and restored grades but they are there. Oh, I am in Rohnert Park 8 miles from Petaluma.
