twmjr1 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 What happened to the more common books in Berk's collection? The auction included about 3000 items, but the whole collection was about 20,000 items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were handed out as party favors to all the live bidders who travelled to the Comic Connect offices to attend the auction in person.

Et-Es-Go Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Who took home the Red Raven Larson book? Also curious as to who scooped the Scoop #2. That one was a battle and went well beyond where I thought it would go. But I do see the allure, it is one of my favorite books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he started to talk about the rather conservative pre-auction estimates for both the Action 1 and the 'Tec 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the hammer prices are all public info, so my guess is that the $7 mill is probably accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this Auction of auctions, "market value" was just an innocent bystander, and the Overstreet Guide wasn't even invited to the show. Ospg hasnt been invited to the dance for many many years now Not to get back into this ancient debate, but I don't think Overstreet -- or any price guide -- is supposed to be answering the question: "What would a high-grade pedigree copy of this book sell for in an open auction?" After all, the OSPG doesn't even list books above 9.2 and makes no distinction between ped v. non-ped copies. I've found OSPG to usually be in the ballpark for GA books in more normal circumstances -- say, for mid-grade copies offered in a regular Heritage signature auction. It can be way off on books that have suddenly heated up. But sometimes, "suddenly heated up" means that three or four people have suddenly started collecting those books and pushed up their prices. Again, I'm not sure price guides are necessarily intended to reflect price run ups of that sort. buttock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
