seanfingh Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Does anyone remember when there was an unopened bundle find of FF48 in Utah and they were Ebaying their copies for days and days? I bid on 20-30 of them and never won a single one. I bet 90% of the 9.8s came from that jackpot. I would never pay big money for that book just because of watching all those untouched copies being auctioned for days. HENRYSPENCER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was around 15 years ago I believe, came from a gas station? I think I won one of the books from that bundle. Graded a 9.2.

I thought it was an untouched spinner rack full of books from a shuttered gas station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Ya I will when I get home. I believe I dropped a scan of it somewhere else, perhaps the FF 48 thread. But I can certainly post it here. I remember the seller selling a sealed box case of FF books inside. Sold for something like $15k. Probably all FF 48 issues, or maybe a variety of different issues. I forgot what he said.

One they pieced out and one they sold whole. The Lions Den, HENRYSPENCER and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may be talking about two different events. I remember some dude came on the boards and was talking about finding multiple copies of books in an abandoned convenience store. A spinner rack may have been involved. Not many believed him until he started showing the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed stacks 10-20 deep of Dynomutt, TV Stars, Flintstones, etc. along with tons of other stuff. I had a PM with him about whether he was going to sell the H-B books or not. I have no idea what happened to that motherlode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
