All the books on display at the opening were Geppis comics... not the Dentists. Geppi ended up putting them on sale over the weekend, too. Dealers and collectors were invited to the Opening of the Vault on Saturday. From the stories Ive heard., it was a magical morning or excitement, greed, wisjh fulfillment and envy.

 

For sale confused.gif Why would he put these up for sale?

I think youre kidding... but, I dont think he meant to. But every top collector and dealer was there andm Geppi was in a great mood and one thing led to another. Also, he had just bought Overstreets collection, so he had new multiples of everything,. and, as I recall now, many of these books were Bob Overstreets copies.... And they were not listed at cheap prices either. So it was similar to Doug's Vault books approach - - - buy em if you DARE!!!

Its a small word ... Ill bet its the year!!!!! 1938

sure, but who would remember the inscriptions? But Fischler was there. He may remember. I think they tried to buy a huge pile of books, but the deal was never consummated.... Gepi just couldnt finish the deal.

Hasn't Lou_Fine on these boards said he was there? Perhaps he could shed some light.

I will never forget that night.

 

Search lights. Actors and actresses made up to appear that they were attending a movie premiere. Photographers taking your photo as you entered just like a Hollywood opening night in the 1940's.

 

Great food and great people.

 

And the comics. Bob's books were available for the first time and I saw a feeding frenzy in Steve's office. It was an unbelievable sight.

 

I have my momento on the desk next to my computer. It's an acrylic block that reads:

 

 

Diamond International Galleries (logo)

"Opening of the Vault"

January 25, 1995

 

 

And there's an image of bank vault-type door opening.

 

What an incredible event!
