Its actually a beautiful little home craftsman style, if I'm correct.

I'd love to visit this home as long as Chuck doesn't get a piece of the action

I believe he said it was $2000 or the collection. Ridiculous

[Monstro]

i wonder if anyone else had bought the collection if they would still be holding on to the books today. or would we all have done the same as Chuck by selling them all off?

[nickwire]

tough call. if i sold any, i'd regret it the second i did, though they would be flipped for other books...then i could open a store and charge 10 times the value for garbage books online..oh wait, that would never work. next thing i know, id get a flood or something

And just yesterday I paid $375 for one Mile High book! I think I overpaid...

 

IIRC, the collection consisted of 18,000 books and Chuck paid cover price, or $0.10 each, for a grand total of $1,800.

What a bargain. Lucky Chucky.

But when you think about it, $2k back in '77 was a lot of green to some teenage hippie.

 

 

[Ringfinger]

He more than made it back!!

He more than made it back!!

 

But it was a pretty big gamble on his part. The market was young.

Chuck had huge balls, and a lot of love for the hobby.

 

As much as everyone gives him, Chuck was a pioneer in comic collecting, and helped take it to the next level.

I would love to see a pic of the room ....or basement....or wherever those books were stacked before they got hauled outta there. Its every comic lovers dream.....
