HandsomeVanzant Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Jon Berk Collection Previewed by ComicConnect Click Here To Read About The Preview of This Fantastic Collection! “The Jon Berk collection is one of the most-asked-about, written-about, talked-about auctions in our history,” said ComicConnect Director of Consignments Rob Reynolds, “Which is saying a lot, as we’ve had some pretty amazing auctions in the past. The majority of these books have not been on the market in years, if not decades, and collectors are drooling over the chance to see these rare comics in person.” Edited May 5, 2017 by HandsomeVanzant Link to post Share on other sites

So...being well-capitalized enough and/or well-connected enough to handle 5/6/7-figure Golden Age books in a VERY private showing is what "true comic collecting is all about"? What about the rest of us broke-@ss old duffers and mere mortals with our measly mid-grade SA and BA collections? How do we rate against the Fancy Men of Comics?!?

I assume all of us would rate just fine because it's all about enjoying and loving the comics which you have in your collection, however you choose to do it. Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a link to one of the Scoop articles on the Jon Berk auction: http://scoop.previewsworld.com/Home/4/1/73/1014?articleID=191226 Since the auction is set to open on May 15th, I expect the listings should be available for all of us to see sometime next week.
