buttock Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I give it 3 months in your collection before you sell it. You golden age guys are as fickle with your "grails" as a modern variant collector. Still, a really cool and interesting book. Andy, very true..... though, not all GA collectors, mainly just me and my "grails" this one, this one i plan to have around for much longer......... i know this because there is no other book in the world i would rather have! B. It's not just you though. I have noticed a lot of golden age collectors go nuts over a book and then sell it soon after. I am occasionally guilty of it myself...though I only ever had one book that I considered a grail, my Mask 2, and that will never be sold. The one that takes the absolute cake is the guy who made a post about how he had been waiting for a 9.0 copy of ASM 13 for forever, and how this was his grail that he wanted more than anything. The book popped up in the marketplace THE SAME FREAKIN DAY. That one about knocked me out of my chair. It's not the having, it's the acquiring.
