The John Wise Collection

[Silver Surfer]

The MMC#2 CGC 8.0 is a great book but an 8.0? Heavy tanning/dust shadow, chip in the middle of the spine, worn corners?

Indeed. Bidding will be reflective of these flaws.

Doubt it. Iconic cover. Unrestored and incredibly rare in high grade. It will go for a ton.

Was the Marvel comics #1 slight (P) 9.4 on C-cnect originally from a bound volume?

[RareHighGrade]

No.

[G.A.tor]

No.

Can you maybe be more precise with your response

Pretty sure that copy was found in a box of Cracker Jacks.

[Marvel Zombie]

No.

The reinforcement and CT along the (mid-) spine seems obvious as well as the two filled in chips at the BC top/bottom spine. But apart from that the book is the book I guess. Any guesstimates on pre-restoe grade / FMV?

from a tax perspective i always thought for a collection of this magnitude it would be better to push it out piecewise over the course of a couple of years rather than all at one time which for better or worse sends off a red flag.

 

i'm not suggesting evading taxes, but i'm not one to give more to the government than they are due.

What do you mean "sends off a red flag"? If you sell at a profit, you have to pay taxes on the profit -- no red flags needed. Or it is tax evasion.

For a good friend of mine...love his books!

[Dale Roberts]

Long time collector from the San Diego area. Nice guy with some great books.

 

 

Actually he is from Paducah KY. He only recently moved to San Diego.

John used to own a copy of all the top 100 most valuable books from the Overstreet guide. He had a huge vault in his house in Paducah where he kept them on display . It was beautiful.

He still has his Paducah house and goes home a few months each year. I think he told me He's been in sd almost 10 years now on a slightly more than part time basis. He's got a nice condo by the convention center across from the pacific.

He still has children and grandchildren here, so he's here a lot. He actually bought a home there for a while, sold it, came back and moved out again.

[G.A.tor]

John told me one of the reasons he's selling is he is wanting to buy a house on Coronado island. Nice return on his collection
