What would you do if you had the "Dentist" collection?

[RockMyAmadeus]

Enjoy them.

 

Isn't that the point?

[DrWatson]

I would rather have the Richard Evans collection.

That sounds nice.

But you could sell Dave's books, buy my books, and have enough left over to buy everybody else's books on the boards.

What does that matter? What's a collection without the sentimentality?

 

Encyclopedias, that's what it is.

Okay, but if you bought Richard's collection, what sentimental value would it hold for you?

Where in the OP did it mention purchase?

 

My point was I would rather have a collection from someone I know or knew as opposed to a random bunch of books from someone who means absolutely nothing to me.

 

I know Richard. I know his passion for collecting. I would be reminded of that every time I flipped through the books. A collection without meaning is nothing but a commodity. Perhaps that is how people become sick of the hobby?

[comicfanatic20-migration]

i have no desire to own most of the large key books.

 

 

dave probably spends his time now collecting other things such as art and memorabilia. he is now free to enjoy them with his family and spend more time with them.

[homerwannabee]

I would sell all the undercopies of the rare books he has. I don't see the point in owning more than one Action 1, Superman 1, etc. Sell the second best, and have a ton of fun with it.

That is an extremely noble point of view. But it's also a view in the extreme minority.

[JWKyle]

The Allentown TEC 27 isn't this one of if not the best one?

[comicfanatic20-migration]

it's the best. in fact dave passed on the mile high 27 to acquire the allentown.

[Tim's Freedom]

 

Doesn't everyone have a Batmobile?

nice! is that a replica?

[Tim's Freedom]

Yes, there are 4 replicas (the last I heard of) in the world, this is one of them. The original

 

is owned by George Barris and can not be sold because of the agreement between him

 

and FORD Motor Company

 

Original Ford $1 document

[Shootydog]

I would be doing pretty well I think. (thumbs u

 

 

If I had that scratch I would be collecting fine art pieces. No more books...I would be after the good stuff.

From what I've heard said, it's a 9.6

[Rich_Henn]

I know what I would do ....

 

I'd get two pit bulls and a really good security system.

I wouldn't say "pass" (I believe he did own it early on)...but the MH copy is not super duper high grade (as in likely in the 8.0 range)...the allentown is clearly the best circulating copy, so I would say his "upgrade" was a wise choice (thumbs u

Jim Payette originally graded it a vf/nm....so, that is likely a 9.2 to 9.4 cgc grade (based on other submissions Jim graded vf/nm)... though, I guess with a little massaging (the tec 38 was originally graded VF raw, but was able to be pressed-so I am told- to a 9.4)....

[letsgrumble]

I'd get a bigger comic room.

[ciorac]

I'd sell them all except the Batman #1 (I assume he has a high grade copy). Retire, travel, and be content with a one book collection.

Then that's a shame.

Along those same lines imagine what Niks books would sell for.No slight to Richard of course.

[Big Daddy]

Maybe sell a couple of the undercopies and build a custom addition to the house to store and enjoy them. Maybe something along the lines of my own sanctum sanctorum.
