buttock Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 As Gene pointed out in the OA section: 2 hours ago, delekkerste said: Another big collection hits the auction block, joining the likes of those of Eric Sack, Doc Dave, Frank Darabont, Ethan Roberts, Ed Summer, etc. in the past couple of years. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/23/the-jon-berk-original-art-comic-collection-auction-preview/ This will be fun to watch. Certainly the biggest collection I've ever seen come up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If I was a Floridian collector with gas issues, I'd be excited about the centaurs. Good luck Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telerites Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 This will be EPIC. I so fondly remember Jon's articles in CBM along with Pat Calhoun's contributions to the magazine. Always enjoyed and amazed the knowledge and when I joined here, posts he made and treated us to pictures of his fantastic collection over the years. Good luck to Jon and probably moreso to those with deep pockets who will be bidding. Tsp99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Wow, just wow! I am kind of blown away and a little sad as well. Jon is one of the forefathers of this hobby. I can't think of many collections that would top his. Sad because it's a shame it is being broken up. I can't imagine how hard it was for him to come to this decision. Best of luck to you Jon!

G.A.tor Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Jon has 20,000 books. Might takes years to auction them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
