sold in a set of auctions...interesting to see if they see by set or by issue...some super once in a lifetime stuff there

So it only took Sotheby's three years of no sale to give up and give someone else a chance.

Will wonders never cease? I was so sure that Ian would go with ComicConnect.

Extensive GA DC collection plus b/w ashcans. Acceptable:

wonder why someone would skip the marketing power of HA and go with a small auctioneer in Berkeley that most people have never heard of

PBA is sending lots of GA DC to CGC now, as the consignor was not a slabber. A great GA collection even if keys are conserved or restored.

I had the same question, as well as why did he initially with Sotheby's, who might be a big name but not when it comes to comics.

Then I realized that Levine has probably burned bridges with everyone in our hobby.

I think after burning those bridges, he ran what remained through a wood chipper just to be sure

Are these books not going to CGC?  It's crazy to be selling them raw.....

I wonder if they will get a special “collection” label like the Fantaz collection did?

I don't know about rarest, but "most seldom seen" would include the books in your collection.
