Should have been the Bobby Green collection 

See that would have played better 🤣

Nah, then you lose the alliteration.

Very true, there’s quite a bit of added value there. Maybe Bobby Bermuda.

Bermuda is a cheery shade of bluish green that recalls the waters and skies around the Bermuda isles.

I'm holding out for Rosy Coral's Comic Collection.

What say ye?

Account for the glare!

Doubtful I know, but if you ever decide to sell this copy, I'll gladly pay the Bobby Blue price. That is a gorgeous book, in a beautiful "Stauffer's Animal Cracker label"-red

A key contact of Bobby Blue had a friend who had sold his collection to Flipmode and was happy with the result.

When Flipmode came into the town, they were met by lots of people, family and friends of Bobby Blue who were there to make sure he wasn't mistreated.

That said, a collection of this size/quality would likely have yielded greater value if more dealers/Auction Houses were allowed to bid.

Maybe, but some people don't care as much about the money as the person they're dealing with. I've heard that numerous times over the years and seen it first hand. I bought one of my homes this way, where the seller of the home refused to entertain anyone else until they were done with us, even if it meant more money. 

It's particularly true for people who don't really need the money. They just want a fair shake and don't mind leaving a little on the bone. 

I've actually seen dealers sell books for less just because they want to deal with someone. Not uncommon.

I know a Texan dealer who refuses to deal with a certain person simply because that Canadian is annoying AF.

Eh? I wonder what AF means?

AF = Alpha Flight in Canada per greggy. Ergo, AF 15 is Alpha Flight # 15.

Well here is a toast to Beavers everywhere!  Cheers Bob & Doug!

Got second place on the Archie 1 Bobbi Blue. Sadly this ain’t horseshoes or hand grenades.
