Does anyone know the provenance of this book, its in a new labelled holder.

[Timely]

It may me the 8.5 White-Rose copy!?!

You'd think for $350K he'd put up a bigger scan.

[Crackandpresstoan11]

Maybe he wonderbread-ed the $1,000,000 pay copy?

[spider9698]

At least he takes paypal!!

[Apotheosis]

At least he takes paypal!!

 

I wonder what paypals' fees are on a $350k payment

[Timely]

Why don't you find out!

I'd buy it if it weren't for the three zeros after the comma.

[Murph]

So he "sells" the pay copy for 1,000,000.. however this one he's willing to let go at 350,000? Something is odd.

It certainly looks same

[jimm94]

It sure is. Bottom left hand corner of the front cover, and the stains on the top, bottom and left hand side of the back cover are a dead giveaway. Why wasn't the book given a pedigree designation on either submision?

I finding it rather odd that that JP, after coming into our little hobby world with guns and checkbook blazing, after printing expensive catalogs, after extensive marketing and sales efforts and expenditures, and convention setups, an elaborate website, and presumed backstage arm-twisting of his coin-collection friends for years now......

 

I find it strange that he now has to resort to EBAY to sell his big-ticket items! Is this more a sign of his desparate state, or truly a tribute to ebay's success in selling collectibles?

Because "White Rose" is just marketing copy.

I think the "sale" of the pay copy was fairy tale.

[supapimp]

most definitely the same book

[fantastic_four]

I think the "sale" of the pay copy was fairy tale.

 

Did he ever explicitly say he sold it? I thought his ads said something like "home of the million-dollar pay copy," which doesn't necessarily mean he sold it.

 

I agree it's a subtle hair to split, but I figured that's the exact hair he was splitting by making the claim.

How much did it sell for as an 8.5 on Heritage. I'm gettng rather annoyed waiting for the Heritage search to work properly...
