I didn't end up with much after the smoke cleared .... but I DID snag this book for a great price, so I'm celebrating!  

Congrats!  As one of the consignors of these MLJ books, I've been tracking prices for the owner.  Overall they have sold for 2X GPA with only 5 or 6 going for under GPA. This was one of the good buys which I would like to think was due to the "large" number of graded copies on the census (34). In comparison, many of these other MLJ books had fewer than a dozen copies graded.

It still blows my mind that the guy who amassed these books in the 60's-70's found them all without the Internet!

Thank you Sir! I just watched the video you hosted a few months ago on the Pinnacle Hill books. Such an amazing find, and great information and history. Must have been mindblowing to be up close and personal with the books.

It was amazing.  Even though the Archie #1 and Pep #22 were sold through Heritage back in 2010, I wasn't complaining!

I still have all of these labeled binders sitting here next to me that were used to store all of these MLJ books since the 70's by the owner. Trying to decide what to do with them...

My one little gem...

 

Congrats!  Glad it found a good home.  It was the chance of a lifetime to have all of these MLJ's from this collection in my possession earlier this year :-)

Thank you so much for posting these raw pics and sharing the story!!! It must've been amazing seeing all of these in front of you!!! It's been a real treat seeing them posted here!!! Thanks again 

It was!  It was also great having auction houses eager to get these. Lon Allen and Ed Jaster flew right up to take a look at these books and were somewhat underwhelmed due to the Promise pedigree books they were processing at the time :-D.

I made a few videos detailing the back story on this collection and posted them to YouTube if anyone is interested. I'll post the links here.
