  1. I'm not going to say who, but I can confirm as a generality this sort of thing has been offered to me in the past, plus other incentives.
  2. March 20/2021 ------ 18 books in total, some Economy, some Modern, and some Value ...... just got to CCS processing ......... still waiting .......
  3. Golden Age mega-keys can go for much closer (25-30%) to unrestored blue prices .... AF15's blues grow on trees, so thus low hammers on restored
  4. what did it sell for please ? ..... link is now not active Thanks
  5. I think the grade took into account the detached cover, so your 1.5 should be worth what a 1.5 should be worth
  6. The three I posted above cost me a grand total of $17K Canadian (purchased from 2008-2010 and Canadian dollar was pretty close to being on par with USD) ..... so yeah, so glad I pulled the trigger when I did. I did think at the time that the prices were nuts, guess I did alright as it stands today.
  7. Updated photo of all 3 together and graded … proud papa ….
  8. excellent point .... but I actually feel the "gravy" gets thrown on auctioned key books on here regardless of whether consignor is known or not; it is a favourite pastime of many on these Boards over the years I've noticed
  9. he doesn't share which books he has ...... I've called him out on this, and he gave a reasonable answer regarding privacy/risk of robbery/etc., so I don't think we'll get the answer here
  10. GA grail books ........ 10% to 25% lower than same-graded, O/W copy GA books ....... 50% of same-graded, O/W copy
  11. trust me, give me AF15's and Hulk 181's all day - couldn't care less about a rug! Plus, I don't need the Dude's problems !
  12. Looks like my ex-book. New owner sent to the ENEMY and they give it a 3.0 and slightly brittle!!! This is plain deception! This book is 1.8 CGC all day every day, I hope someone doesn't overpay because of the number ................... I love this hobby more every day (NOT)
  13. ....and beautiful piece by the way, really a work of art --- have you ever been to the Vatican and seen the examples there ?! Stunning ....
  14. I knew a doctor who was WAY into this hobby, and it is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
  15. I could look at your Schomburg Paintings all day!! I know I've commented before many times on them, but again just WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
