Whatever happened to this book? Hasn’t sold publicly since this sale, seemingly tucked away in a bank vault by whoever got it back in 2009. Almost every year we see mega grail after mega grail of every kind more or less hit an auction or just sell publicly, but not this one. Is it in a forever collection? Have to wonder what it would have sold for during the boom 1-2 years ago. My gut tells me anywhere from 1.75 to 2.5 mil, but who knows.

I had asked about it's whereabouts/status, here on the boards, back in September 2021.

Richie Evans (Bedrock) and Tim (tth2) had mentioned the following back then (see below)

I believe it is still with the original European collector, who got it through Heritage originally (as Mark Wilson as an agent)

Does anyone know if the Showcase 4 (9.6) from that same collection sold (privately?) in the last few years?

I remember seeing it somewhere (CLINK?) for $995,000 but it disappeared quickly after listed

It has not. Same guy still owns it.

But not for lack of trying.  It was being actively shopped around a year or so ago, along with the 9.6 B&B 28 (formerly my 9.4 copy).

Wow, so maybe a brief moment of interest but didn’t last long 😂. Well yeah have to wonder if said Euro owner will ever relinquish this bad boy. I’d love to see it in a no reserve auction.

This is a secret, so don't tell anyone, but there are negotiations and it could change hands very soon.

These negotiations were not supposed to be made public :sumo:
