There is one particular book Jon had that I am praying is going to be part of the auction. If it is there, IT WILL BE MINE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm probably in a small group, but the Spring auction before the Berk one has some really TOUGH material in it. I know it won't match the Berk auction in scope, condition/pedigrees, but it's no understatement that it's a notable auction in it's own right. One book i MUST have. MUST. Hoping a lot of you are holding back for Berk If not, obtaining it MAY result in me having to sit out Berk's books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting. +1 Yes, and probably one of the main reasons why all of the hype won't really be focused on the Berk auction until this upcoming CC auction scheduled to start next Monday is done and out of the way. Will definitely be interested in how some of these Fox books do in terms of whether bidders will be going all out or leave some of the powder dry for the Fox books expected to come out from the Berk Auction.
