I still have a few hundred Casebeer books which made their way to a midwestern show more than a decade ago. Some had the famous (or infamous) Casebeer color touches and some didn't. If it wasn't obnoxiously obvious, some of those books made my core boxes with a little note in the bag denoting "From the Collection of Lance Casebeer." If I already had an equal or superior copy, I just kept the Casebeer books with their original post-it notations in their original bags as part of a quirky chapter in paperback collecting history. Regarding run collecting, I still fill holes when I can do it on the cheap, which means rarely buying on eBay because the postage kills you - that's what really adds up over the years. And frankly, I still like too many publishers to get caught in that cumulative postal trap. Take Pocket, for instance: I'm that guy who likes all those vegetable gardening and Vogue dressmaking editions. Again, I think them quirky and worth preservation. I'm more of a generalist than a run collector - albeit a generalist who likes way too much stuff, such that it starts to look like I'm a completist.

I'm a long-time fan of Pink Floyd, but admittedly the Gilmore years. I appreciate the scarcity of your Barrett-era treasure trove, however. Your beer cans make my mouth water, and not just with the promise of aged hops. Those are the exact sort I fell in love with pouring over Martells' Beer Can Bible those many moons ago in the 70's and thereafter. The bocks always caught my eye, and those two shown are among the best. The other cans that I always seemed to favor were, no surprise here, by Grace Bros. Somehow I was always drawn to them. I for one would love any further glimpses of your collection. By the way, what's the most recent price for a Clipper Pale? Have the top cans followed a similar trajectory as comics these past few years?

Once the payment has been made to the consignor within that one week after the sale, does that imply you’ll keep the book if a return is made? And simply leave the consignor whole? This would make sense in that you obviously have a large customer base and another sale might be expected soon after the return (save perhaps if we ever experience a bearish comic market again!).

Yes, I'd say this is a perfect storm of a grail, given your deep dive into Johnson of late. Congratulations!!

There's a crazy amount of great stuff in here!! Mouth-watering, really.

I just swapped out some golden age books that were in the same bags for forty years. It made for a nice, yellowish stack of polyethylene discards.

Also take Wolverine Origins and Endings, and New Avengers Secrets and Lies

Take Ghost World and both Golden Age of Marvel Comics
