lou_fine Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 For all of those board members like me who were not lucky enough to attend Jon's big Gallery Exhibition, it looks like Scoop did a nice write=up on the event. Sounds as though it was a good time for all who were lucky enough to attend: http://scoop.previewsworld.com/Home/4/1/73/1018?ArticleID=191817 And since a written story always goes better with pictures, the books discussed in the Scoop article can be seen below. I just never get tired of looking at pictures like these: On 3/11/2017 at 7:40 PM, Sqeggs said: On 3/11/2017 at 7:38 PM, Sqeggs said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most books will sell for very good prices. Some will sell for stupid money. No matter what they go for, he will make a substantial profit on his initial investment on every piece. He bought most of them back when prices were a joke by today's prices. As Jon has been saying on the boards ever since he got here.......if he had to pay these current prices for the books, he never would have been able to compile the collection which he currently has. For anybody that has been collecting for the past 30+ years or so, let along for the past 40+ years like Jon has, the cost of the individual auction fees and grading by themselves alone, will most likely be a lot more than his initial purchase cost for each the books in the first place.

None that I recall seeing. All of his Atomic Age books were sold years ago. Any idea if Jon would have a lot of 2nd tier DC character books such as mid runs of Sensation, All-Flash, Green Lanterns, etc. left in his personal collection that will become available in this upcoming auction? I am sure that he must already have virtually all of the early keys in most of the mainstream DC runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His DC focus was on the earliest books and the classic big keys, a few of which like Sensation 1 and All Star 8 are already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
