Not a direct swipe, but I'd go with 'inspiration' (and both are truly classic status worthy). gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a shop owner? that’s a VERY cool haul congrats!! Indeed. Collection included roughly 100 books from 1940-1945, and another 150 from 1946 to 1951. Plus around 900 books from 1952-1965. Went into a closet in 1965 and weren’t touched again until last month. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

I wouldn’t call what you have ahead of you work. More of a labor of love! The roughly 1955-1965 books are original owner. The earlier books were likely acquired secondhand sometime between 1961-1965. That’s purely a guess from the evidence in front of me. Conditions start low grade in 1955 and gradually get better and better (kid taking better care of his things as he grew up) until they’re consistently high grade by 1962. With the books from the 1940s in higher grade than any of the 1955-1959 books. Presumably bought after he started caring about condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most will get slabbed. Some are going to Heritage. Some we will sell directly. Honestly just the initial triage of the collection is probably a 100-hour project. Complicated by the fact that I don't have enough 775/750s for the pre-1961 stuff. I'm biting the bullet on paying 3x-5x normal retail because it's not like I want to leave $500 books unbagged any longer than I need to. But they are stored in flat stacks for now, the same way they were stored for 56 years. Thankfully I have a few thousand 725/700s, but those aren't as "fun" to go through. High grade 1965 Marvels are valuable, sure. But they're not as exciting as mid-grade 1941s for me. And the smell... oh the delightful, delightful, delightful smell of never-bagged Golden Age... Sigh... woowoo, ThothAmon, Northwest and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were bought back when these were very cheap. Back when you could actually put together runs of books like this. They didn’t even have bags and boards back then. They look well loved and cared for. Congrats on the great score. Take lots of pictures. Once in a lifetime deal. And here on the boards is an excellent place to sell some… ThothAmon and Foxtrot70 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
