"Here Martha, you take these Cowboy Romance comics and these Fawcetts at Guide, and I'll take these Detectives at Guide. Thank goodness we have my Guide to tell us what all these are worth and make this an easy division of assets." Martha...isn't that the same name as the mothers of Superman and Batman?

Of the ex-wife's share, 25% were sold by Gary Carter and the rest were sold to Geppi. Well, a 50/50 split is a very interesting concept and from what I could see, clearly subject to many definitions.

jgallo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If i read this all right no Timelys? No MM 1 or cap 1. That kind of surprises me as esp the mm would seem to have been something of interest. James G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 There will be Human Torches and Red Raven (Larson) but MM 1 was sold with the rest of the run. There will be some other misc. ones but nothing I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the most valuable collection ever offered up for auction in one time? agreed, and not a good time to put up serious material on the action block for a while as the pool of comic book collectors money is gonna wear thin Edited March 2, 2017 by Mmehdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably also not a good time to be sending your GA books into CGC for grading during the past monthor so. Especially since they were conditioned to seeing so many beautiful rare GA books from Jon's collection, yours would just look like another POS MA book and downgraded accordingly. Similar to how so many beautiful looking GA books were graded so tightly last summer when the Lasry books were going across CGC's grading table.

So, this scattering of Church Hit books that were auctioned off by HA just last week were most likely consigned by whoever had brought the books from Jon. I'm pretty sure we already told you in the Hits thread that Jon had sold the Hits previously to someone else, and it was the someone else who sold them on Heritage just now. Ask him about the Diamond Gallery sale in 1995. That he remembers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to how so many beautiful looking GA books were graded so tightly last summer when the Lasry books were going across CGC's grading table. Jon was never conditioned focus. If you are a high grade snob, you would not have fun going through Jon's collection as only a tiny, tiny portion are uber high grade pedigrees. Grades vary considerably throughout and some books have resto. I'm sure the graders are having fun as a decent chunk of the books are ones they seldom get to handle. I can't see his collection having any impact whatsoever on how CGC grades. There will be GA, SA and original art to be of interest to a broad spectrum of collectors and I have little doubt of the ability of the market to absorb such a wide-ranging collection. It will be a fun auction to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
