Supernerd Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Wow! The listings are absolutely drool-worthy. I have 28 items on my "dream team" watch list. It'll be real interesting to see which gems fall through the cracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I wonder how long it will take until we see these books on the secondary market? Or do you think the majority will end up locked up in collections for a long time. I know if I am the high bidder on any they won't be going anywhere.

If there are 'crazy' prices across the board and no 'bargains ' I'd suspect there will be a lot of flipping. All I know is, if I'm lucky to win even two of the six books I really want, those babies are not going to see the market again for a loooooooong time.

october Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is anyone else disappointed in CConnect's scans? They are pretty awful. Having seen some of this stuff in person, they are not doing the items any favors in the color department. Yeech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a massive amount of Silver and Bronze that I can see getting flipped fairly often but for the GA stuff I would think far less due to the more focused nature of JB's collecting. You may see some of the big books move, btw, did you see the Timelys? The Mystics and Daring Mysteries...OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us have Billy Wrights in our collections now. I am super happy with the ones I have. Thank you Billy Wright for not bogarting 'em all for yourself!
