The people who will be taking home Jon's better material will just be conducting business as usual. They may sell one of the helicopters or drop a couple of mistresses, but the funds will be there. What I'm curious about is what type of material will be getting sold in an effort to raise stakes for this round of goodies. We all may have the chance to pick up some nice books, both before and after the auction. Here's to watching the Fantastic 3 break 250K..........GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I didn't know Mr Bedrock owned a helicopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A couple other comments on the collection contents. There was a run of Marvel Mystery 1 - 92 but that was sold so the only significant Timelys are a number of Human Torches and a couple bound volumes. There's also a bound volume set of the Planet run.

Especially if they gave one to Nicholas Cage who really had virtually no impact at all on this hobby at all, except for his name. The other collection I felt that deserved recognition was the one from Bob Overstreet, although this collection came out in 1995 or about 5 years before CGC came into existence. Personally though, it probably should not have been that difficult to keep track of the lineage for his collection of books if they had decided to go that route.

The hobby has plenty of room to absorb the quality investment/classic type stuff. I strongly doubt that Jon has multiple copies of any of these top end GA books. The only book that I am aware that he has a duplicate copy of is Mystery Men 3 since he has always considered that to be his favorite cover of all time.

Mysterymen 3 was the only example I could recall seeing two high grade copies. It's very likely there are a few other duplicates but unlikely both of them to be as high grade and valuable as MM 3.
