100,000 book haul

[Shadow Images]

Anyone see this.

 

[krighton]

Probably 95k of drek

[Loukayza]

Ya, if he got a 100K comics and those are the best he had to show from it, he's either over-stating his haul by about 95K comics, or it's all independent and other drek...

Actually look at the vids. A lot of good books so far.

[Unca Ben]

Very nice!

I think he showed the best stuff he has got. Price would be a factor as to what kinda deal this is. Did I miss the price?

Looks like a wonderful collection. Multiple copies of almost every hot CA key and fair amount of SA to BA.

Depending on the price, that can certainly be a worthwhile haul.

[ChicksCosmiComics]

Wow but even if there are say 15,000 comics worth decent money it still leaves you with 85,000 books and a storage bill of at least $200 a month. You need an exit plan

Some nice books. Depending on how much he paid he could have done alright.

Indeed but considering he repeatedly commented about finding copies of keys he didn't even know were there and thus likely didn't include in his valuation he probably did well. I'd imagine it will take some time to find all of the good books in a collection this size.

[FineCollector]

Looks good to me. What's best to him isn't necessarily the best that's in there... he's only singling out the keys.

I cant see him not doing well, but the cost of storage and the uhaul wasn't cheap I am sure.

 

There are some books I would just donate to libraries and hospitals while others I would just have a bonfire for to eleviate my storage problems.

 

The books look really nice so if that's the type of preservation that the collection has he did really well.

 

Only problem is that years of work to get it all ready, sold, and organize. Its a huge endeavor. We see sellers on here with 5k or 10k finds that almost wear them out.

 

Now multiply that by 10 and it becomes your job for the next couple of years.

 

[Paddy_McShillihan]

Lots of slabbing coming up ....

[kav]

Wow whoever collected all those seems to have been prescient

[krighton]

guy owned a store, so blind luck.

[oakman29]
