Is the market big enough to soak all of that up at current market prices? Cause:

 

 

Avengers #1-100 (89 are 9.8 and 11 are 9.6)

Daredevil #1-100 (90 9.8 and 10 9.6)

Fantastic Four #1-102 (94 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Journey Into Mystery #83-125 (40 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Strange Tales #101-168 (64 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Tales of Suspense #39-99 ( All are 9.8 and 9.6)

Tales To Astonish #36-101 (64 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Thor #126-200 (72 are 9.8 and 3 are 9.6)

X-Men #1-66 (61 are 9.8 and 5 are 9.8)

 

... is a LOT of books!

[comicdonna]

Not just a lot of books. Many of them are the highest graded copies.

Strike while the iron is hot!

thats why I cant fathom the market to soak all this up... we are all gonna need deep pockets, or there are going to be some nice deals...

[jimjum12]

I guess Tom finally got tired of his books. GOD BLESS....

Must not have been able to reach a deal with Brulato. That's a lot of volume to dump on the market at once.

FF1 in 9.6 or 9.8 would be my dream

And that's his "B" set.....

Gotta guess that the keys go for well over GPA (especially for the "single highest" examples) , and the non-keys average under GPA at the end of it all...

 

People will pay for a chance to own the top census book when it comes to keys, but for "regular" issues... the market has to be smaller right?

Exactly what I was thinking

The mother of all auctions

Why does this have to happen just as I'm telling my other half and my wallet that it's time for several quiet months at the very least!

[Gsims718]

This auction is pretty amazing to look at, but I would never be able to afford these books.

 

Nice to look and dream.

I wonder what percentage of the "stupid money" price he paid will he be recovering on this "investment."

I'll bet he takes an beating unlike anything the hobby has seen before.

What happens if everyone sit's it out and expected prices dont come in ?

When I read this I wonder how deep are collectors pockets to be 1 person in 89 ?

Avengers #1-100 (89 are 9.8 and 11 are 9.6)

Daredevil #1-100 (90 9.8 and 10 9.6)

Fantastic Four #1-102 (94 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Journey Into Mystery #83-125 (40 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Strange Tales #101-168 (64 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Tales of Suspense #39-99 ( All are 9.8 and 9.6)

Tales To Astonish #36-101 (64 are 9.8 and 9.6)

Thor #126-200 (72 are 9.8 and 3 are 9.6)

X-Men #1-66 (61 are 9.8 and 5 are 9.8)

 

 

 

 

 

[arexcrooke]

why do we have a thread in general liking to another thread in general?

[Silver Surfer]

Doug has owned most of these books for years so I'm sure he is going to cash in big time. The FF run alone will/should eclipse whatever the Curator's recently sold for.

[namisgr]

It's going to make for a mighty sweet retirement nest egg.

 

With the outstanding Heritage scans of front and back covers, I've got a lot of oggling to do.
