Beautiful copies of cool books!

Just amazing books!

That poor girl tied to the gas tank; though she really doesn't look all that worried. I guess she's already read this story. :insane:

Or she figures there are two guys with guns for her and only one guy with a knife against her. :)

Soaring higher than his prices! 

I can jump higher than my prices.

Your stuff would be cheap at twice the price! :sumo:

Or we're just getting started :preach:

Wow. There's just about something for everyone. The well might run dry before JB's stuff even gets listed. (Well, my well may well be dry, anyhow.)

Yes, looks like a bit of stuff from almost every single one of the major Fox titles.  (thumbsu

Definitely a lot more Fox in this one auction than we are normally used to seeing, although the vast majority of them are in the relatively lower to mid grade condition range.  So, definitely not something that's going to be competing directly against Jon's pedigree Fox books, which are scheduled for the next auction.

Not quite sure if this was the best move on the consignor's part since he could have pulled his lots and wait for Jon's collection of Fox books to go through and hopefully add further momentum to the Fox market.  The other choice and the one which he took was to be the first fox into the hen house and to grab as many of the chickens as he could before the rest of the foxes descended onto the hen house.  Based upon the timing, all of the books were probably already sitting at CC when Jon's big announcement came and the consignor was then caught between a rock and a hard place.  hm

We're probably looking at two basically unrelated markets, even though both groups have Fox books. For example, it will be pointless for me to bid on Jon's Fox books, while the other batch may hold some possibilities. GOD BLESS..

+1

We are most definitely looking at 2 completely different markets here, with the current run of Fox books generally running in the 2.0 to 5.0 grade range, while the bulk of Jon's Fox books would be in the 9.0 and up grade range.  (thumbsu

My thinking was really nothing more than the concept that a rising tide generally tends to lift all boats.  In this sense, the momentum created by the sale of Jon's HG Fox books might possibly have translated into higher auction prices going forward, even for the relatively lower grade Fox books if they had been placed into one of the subsequent auctions.  hm  (shrug)

There are 3 high grade Fox runs:  Wonderworld, Mystery Men and Fantastic.  There will be a mix of grades in the other titles so there may be a book with your name on it.

For some reason, I think the current consignor of these Fox books will not exactly be jumping for joy to hear this news.  :gossip:  lol

Although I personally do believe there's been a long drought between some of these Fox books, so I certainly do expect the demand and bids to be there for both auctions.  (thumbsu

I absolutely love the use of the various colors on these Fox books, and especially how strong and vibrant these colors are on Steve's pedigree copies here.  :cloud9:

You'll see slight corrections in the lesser demand stuff..... a large enough sample size to be quantifiable. Still, these books are loaded with intrigue, probably not many bargains will be had. GOD BLESS....

The only 2 things i can say with absolute certainty is that 1. I love my wife and children more than anything else in my existence and 2. I don't have enough money to buy everything i want in these upcoming auctions ?
