I don't know if this was posted before.

Comic zone with Chuckie talking about the Church find.find of a lifetime

I can't listen here at work, but I have always wondered: did Chuck get over on the seller or was he upfront about their value?

For what's it worth Chuck says he was upfront even bringing a PG with him.

I think that you have to take what Chuck says with a grain of salt.

But he also admits being poor as dirt, so I find it amusing Mr No Money would say he stumbled in with a OSPG, ready to pay Guide percentages... apparently using only his good looks and charm.

 

Personally, I bet he brought the OS Guide because it was big and heavy enough so he could hit the family over the head with it, then abscond with the books.

 

"So you want 1/3 Guide, eh?" WHAM!!

Vinnie mentions 0.10 cents per book Chuck corrects him pretty quickly.

Uh, the early Overstreets were only small pamphlets. So that joke has zero basis in fact.

chuck basically says in his tales from the database that he was broke but was able to pull off the deal. Make your own assumptions.

When Chuck found that collection, the OS's were pushing 500 pages, and in 1977, it was 530 pages.

 

You come on over and let me pound you in the head with a 500+ page tome, and I doubt you'll survive the experience.

[Timulty]

My understanding was that Chuck bought a portion of the Collection. These would be the gems and runs that he could easily liquidate then he took that money and bought another portion. Seems like he got a loan for the rest. Apparently charm can do wonders.

The books were purchased for cover price. Its a great story and I think the best person to speak to to get a more accurate account would be John Verzyl.

To what, 9-cents a book?

They were softcover and weighed a pound or two.

 

Are you saying they were "way more" than that? Do I smell another bet in the offing?

[joe_collector]

You need to stop trolling tough guy.

 

You stated erroneously that they were "small pamphlets" and I TOTALLY proved you wrong, and now you're angry.

 

Too bad, and do better research next time.

Chuck says it was "way more " then the magical $2500.00

[paperheart]

vinnie should be asking him who pays the prices for books listed on his site

[Cody_Starbuck]

Well, I'll admit to having bought from Chuck in the past, but that was before I started hanging out here. Coming here was like being shown light for the first time.

scroll down - hardly a pamplet.

I simply stated that the early Overstreets were pamphlets. That is true. Do you even know what edition he supposedly took with him? I was think I read that it was an earlier one.

 

Why would you assume he took the most current one?

 

 

Too bad, and do better research next time.

 

Sorry, Joe. I forgot I was dealing with you (who turns everything into contest of wills). I was simply making an observation about the size of the early Overstreets. Personally, I don't like how large they've become.

 

Move along now. Nothing to see here.
