Yes and no.   The market is definitely softening right now.  I feel sorry for guys with books already sent for upcoming auctions.   It's looking like a hard fall right now.

I think the market overall is softening somewhat right now, but I don't know about specific movie appearance related books, as I don't follow that stuff closely.

Agreed, there's still good results scattered in amongst the falling ones.   Let's see where things end up.

Recent purchase received in the mail today. Only need 6 more issues to have the complete run.

Great copy! A Jon Berk book to boot!

A cool house ad hiding inside this issue!

Thanks. To be honest, I never noticed that it was a Jon Berk book when I bid on it, I just thought to my self “Hey, I need issue 46, and that’s a decent one”

That's a cool bonus in addition to a nice copy!

I’ve “accidentally” bought quite a few pedigrees this way as well.

Sounds like you've gotten quite lucky in your happy accidents! Well done!

I'd thought I'd go the source on this one, and look at GPA.  But the RM was released mainly through the Clink, so we're only seeing the non-clink books, or the second and onwards sales of the books.

First issue, TTA #59 CGC 6.5

#62 CGC 9.0,

#66 CGC 9.4

#67 CGC 9.2 

#67 CGC 9.8

#78 CGC 9.4

#79 CGC 9.6

#80 CGC 9.6

#82 CGC 9.8

#88 CGC 9.8

#92 CGC 9.8

#93 CGC 9.8

#94 CGC 9.4

#95 CGC 9.6

#96 CGC 9.8

#98 CGC 9.6

#99 CGC 9.8

#100 CGC 9.8

There's a lot of gaps there, but the usual RM quality is there kicking in fairly quickly from 1966 onwards.
