Two competing 800 lb. gorillas can make all the difference in an auction between what looks like a sky$-the-limit trend in market values and a game of chicken between two stubborn collectors ...or investors... with unlimited resources. Knowing how often those two gorillas were the last monkeys in the room would be a resource of infinite value to the collecting community. That two cents is common sense you can take to the bank.

Mmehdy Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 It is highly possible one of those gorillas is building a museum in LA...... Cat-Man_America, Larryw7, Badger and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gregreece Posted June 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2021 When I sold all of my books and art 7-8 years ago I thought my collecting days were through. Had a couple of kids in college (both work full time in the business now), was trying to improve the website and build inventory for the business. It was just to much to try and juggle a collection too. Happy to begin anew + how could I resist these Schomburg's?

cheetah Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It was refreshing to see that the western market is still in the tank. The rest of the books were loco. aardvark88, Badger, kelholt and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, $6600 for this seriously over-graded book with a tear on the upper left, a piece out of the bottom left, and scuffing on the mid spine, seems pretty robust to me!
