MrBedrock Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 When will they list Jon's low grade run of later print Classics Illustrated and Classics Juniors? Probably worthy of their own catalog. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccomic Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Jon was kind enough to sell me some Canadian Whites back in the early part of this century, including the elusive Colossal Comics and a few others pictured below. I guess if I am not successful winning any of the books in the upcoming Comicconnect auction, I can be appreciative of these books that I acquired from his collection.

Those boardies (though quite handsome) should've shown better manners, swinging their backpacks around and all! MORE IMPORTANTLY: there is a typo in the video at time 2:11. The footer text reads "John Berk" - should be "Jon Berk". exitmusicblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk was filling in tiny gaps in a boardie's knowledge of comic book history: "No, no, no. Superman wore the red and blue costume. Batman's costume was black and gray."

Dark Knight Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The video was well-put together. After hearing what Jon had to say, you can tell how passionate he was when he was putting his collection together and how much love he had for his books because he wanted to know EVERYTHING about it from the art work, to the artists, to the writers, etc. Towards the end of the video in the last segment where Jon was talking, I sensed that it was difficult for him to let go of it all after all these years compiling it together, especially the Centaurs (20 years!). I can feel how much he will miss his collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel how much he will miss his collection. He not only showed us his books (for many people, including me, via these boards), he now shows us how to part with a collection worthily and uprightly. At the very end of the video he says that he would continue to have the passion for the subject. Rather not surprising, so I guess fandom will still hear from him in the future. At least, if he wishes so, he would easily be able to travel the world and to "visit" his former collectibles with their new owners ... and have a good time!!
