Apparently, the GA was bought second hand but the rest was OO. A nice score for Brian who has had the hard work and good luck in picking up some nice collections. And one heck of a great guy to deal with! By the way, I bought the book not the fancy certificate… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 On 3/7/2023 at 2:08 AM, adamstrange said: They are very nice in terms of page quality and cover appeal but it was not a large collection and they don't show up often. They are indeed beautiful books with white pages. One of the first collections submitted to CGC back in 2000. Lee Hester presented them very well indeed for sale on eBay. buttock and adamstrange 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the collection may be a different Johnny Winter(s) ...should it be an apostrophe "s" (?), this being a non-original owner's collection, the timing fits. This looks like another interesting tale from the GA of comics worth tracking down sources. Anyway, for a collection of mid-grade books, it's curious.

Robot Man Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Nice! Never heard this one before. Looks like Buddy Miles on drums and Johnny just sat in with Jimi (playing bass). As a young guitar slinger, I was fascinated with slide guitar. Duane Allman introduced me to it but Johnny took it to a higher level. Slides can be metal or glass but I saw an interview with Johnny and he said he used a sawed off lead pipe. Has served me well for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Got a new one from Harley yesterday. Bought a few books and he asked me if I wanted the “certificates”. The Fantast Collection. Another “story”. I guess this was that big collection that turned up a while back. There is a film in the works I guess. Apparently, Harley bought a bunch of them from the man’s son. First ones I’ve heard of. Didn’t really care as I would have bought the books either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
