Wouldn't the opportunity for multiple people (e.g., boardies) to own a slice of this amazing comic book history outweigh whatever nostalgia there might be keeping the collection together, which is to say, being in the sole possession of one person? I guess it's the Robin Hood in me... I agree with you @Zolnerowich. I want to have my little piece of Church pie too Also, I am poor right now due to some recent purchases. I think the Robin Hood in you might want to unload some of your signature line to me, right? Maybe starting with the Science 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly owned by an Aisian collector. Anybody ever hear of this? Could this be where the Nedors went? It stands to reason that a fair number of pedigree books have been lost to fires by now. I'm still trying to find out which Church books were ruined when the Greg Manning Auctions basement was flooded. I asked Bill Hughes, but he didn't remember.

Maybe starting with the Science 1 Well, under normal circumstances, we might be able to reach a deal on the Science 1, but I don't think the lady on the cover of the Science 2 would be pleased -- she wouldn't have anyone to talk to or complain about how they're always being subjected to science experiments...!

She could talk to the translucent lady on Weird 2. I think those two need some alone time without the Science 1 lady always stirring things up between them.

Sadly the Science 1 and Science 2 ladies don't talk to the Weird 2 lady -- they're quite offended that the Weird 2 lady is always showing off her rib cage! ?

If I were CC (and Berk) I would want to make sure people knew what books were coming up before bidding closes on the Heritage Signature Auction.

It seems as if the other "From the collection of" designations have been for entertainment celebrities (Cage and Blades), professionals in the industry (Robinson, Barks, others), or OO collectors (Don&Maggie). Can't think of another instance of a collector like Berk receiving it, but I may be forgetting someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
