Ricksneatstuff Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've been noticing a few GA high grade books coming in on the census lately, here and there, this last week or two, toppling some previous highest graded and coming in second or 3rd. I have to assume it is books from this collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's collection is practically perfect for being put into one sale as there is such a variety of books from different eras in varied condition as well as a wonderful selection of original art. I'm sure there will be bulk lots for less expensive items. Any idea if Metro is going to try and run this special auction over and above their regularly scheduled May/June Event Auction that they have every year. If they are, that's going to be a ton of books for them to try and process, and definitely not a good sign for any other consignors trying to put books through the regular Event Auction. Especially since the pockets of collectors are only so deep and cannot be spread too thin before there's a big hole in there.

HRCostigan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 This darn basement remodel is sucking my funds at the wrong time. My only hope is finding an Action 1 in a wall cavity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLink spread out the Jamie Graham books over I don't know how many auctions. Heritage may still be selling off the Mel Dybdahl books. I've bought multiple books out of both collections, probably at least 20-25 from each. Not sure I would have done that if they had all appeared in a single auction. Hope this works out for Berk, but selling such a large collection in a single auction seems like a recipe for at least some of the books going lower than they otherwise would. I guess we'll see. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the less expensive books. It was my understanding that these were not going to be slabbed, and that the Metro crew would be (very) busy grading these books in advance of the auction. I can't confirm there were 18,000 books, but probably a few thousand at least... I've been back there, too, although not the other night. In looking around, I can't help but think that a fire in that relatively small space would be a real catastrophe for the hobby. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
