sagii Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 @Sweet Lou 14 Maybe @greggy can post the link to the story behind the collection here for posterity. Figured the collection should have it's own thread, lot's of signature copies were in the stash as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 Thanks @sagii ... I think it's very appropriate to have a thread for these books. I'm definitely putting a pin in this topic, because otherwise searching for these books would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Let's just hope the conversation doesn't come apart at the seams! Anyway here's my one contribution, which I found to be a perfect fit for my collection: I hope others will follow suit! piper, sagii, Treco and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 There are certainly other "from the collection of*" books I'd rather have, but these books are each unique and "rare" in a broad understanding of that word. With that in mind, I decided to pick up one of them, and even though my Silver Age X-Men collection is in its infancy, I was able to get this at what I considered a fair price. * I find it very interesting that CGC is willing to create special labels for some people but not others. I understand this has to do with marketability of the name, but I'd love to have my books slabbed with a "from the personal collection of" label if I ever actually send one in. On the other hand, perhaps this "service" is available to anyone willing to pay for it. silverseeker, sagii and Treco 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jmg3637 Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 I knew David and his brothers growing up in Omaha His Fathers Tailor shop was only 15/ mile from my House. It was then called Parsow's Big and Tall Mens Store I believe. I did not know him well as we were in different school systems. I do noy know about the father but the two sons I knew were both about 6'5" thus the TALL. Apparently the entire family had a genetic disposition for heart issues and two of the three sons died quite early David was quite a comic fan/collector/dealer and had acquired over 160000 books prior to meeting Stan. Over the last few years of Stans life David made many appointments to have Stan do private signings and had amassed about 8000 books signed by him. I can certainly understand some extra value to those books. OTOH it is hard to see why his unsigned 4th copy of say Spiderman 37 would have any extra value assigned to it. Between signing and grading fees for just the 8000 books he must have spent nearly a million His first auction of what I guess were his best signed copy of many of the early Marvels did quite well and brought in over 1.5mil as I recall. This most recent group seemed to have mostly unsigned copies. MGsimba77, Dark Knight, silverseeker and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an Ebay account where I've seen so many signed books before knowing who he was. I wish I'd put him on the saved seller list. Unfortunately I have no idea what his username is.

jmg3637 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I think his ebay store is something like Palm Tree Comics. Certainly Not a tribute to Omaha sagii and Math Teacher 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He seems to have sold off multiple signed copies of most all of the Marvel keys ( AF15 ASM1 Dd1 FF4 1 AV 1&4 etc) but the grade decreased often significantly. Wonder how many more AF15s he still has? This round had many/mostly unsigned books. Did anybody win any of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Just got a FF 9 for my second one. Not a Parsow and not signed. Not as nice but I hope to upgrade it eventually. FF 13 is in my targets next!
