Makes for an unusual group of comics to appear in the same auction. .....probably the best time for more financially "challenged" collectors, like myself, is actually before these big mega auctions..... when folks are letting go of books they normally wouldn't... to stock the war chest. This also occurs right after the auction as well... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) FoggyNelson and sacentaur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think about that one but happily it has resided in good homes since then and a great boardie now owns it!! I sold a few books then lost the auction I wasn't sad as they were all SA keys which can easily be reacquired some of which have but it taught me a lesson for the future especially now collecting GA as they are not nearly as easy to locate. It also taught me to keep my mouth sealed a bit more about what i was chasing as I came on here asking too many questions not even realizing how gigantic some of the folks were that are on this site in the hobby. This is the first and only social media type site i had ever used and remains that way today. It was a very humbling and eye opening experience for me but i am glad it happened personally it only made me appreciate how many more geeks there were out there and that I was about to dive into a vast new world of comicdom i had never chartered before and i had so much more to learn Rdello, sagii and Ricksneatstuff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo_7071 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well, I learned something from looking at the Jon Berk collection on CConnect: I never realized that the first appearance of Andy Panda was in Crackajack Funnies! (I may be the only one who cares.) The book that stood out to me the most (other than the Fantastic #3) was the Punch #12. I won't be a contender, but I'll be curious to see what it sells for. I think it's safe to say that it'll leave the guide price in the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have presold in the past only to lose out in the auction. Talk about a punch in the nuts. I can see your being disappointed if you sold a book that was important to you, or if you sold a book from a run because you were hoping to upgrade, but I've rarely felt bad about being outbid in an auction or about selling a book that wasn't a key part of my collection. I try to bid what I think a book is worth—maybe a little more—but if the only way to "win" a book is to overpay, I'm always happy to let someone else overpay. I'll wait until the next time it sells, or until another copy comes along, or until a different book that I like just as much comes along. (Sometimes a book will take off in value weeks or months later, and then I'll start to kick myself.) Edited May 11, 2017 by jimbo_7071 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It is my understanding there are 18,000 books but only 3,000 listed. Will the collection be spread out over several more auctions? I have noticed some key books missing in runs (like Startling 49). Are these books missing because he kept them or will some books from titles that are present in this auction be in the future auctions? If this was already addressed I apologize.

I think ComicConnect has reserved the next 3 years () going through those 15,000 remaining books (all unslabbed) and assigning grades to them. And then they will show up in subsequent auctions. But I think all (pretty much all?) of the A list material is in the June auction. That was my sense from what I heard on "Berk Night" at the CC headquarters, but I can't confirm this. exitmusicblue and Ricksneatstuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you do have a Cap 3 in your sig line!!
