New Collection We Looked At

Just out of curiosity. I have been reading this thread from the beginning. In a year and half are you still processing the collection? How much have you sold and how much do you still have to
go thru if you don't mind me asking. It gives me some idea if I run across a collection that size how the time scope would be.

We have not owned this collection all that long. We bought it on April 25th.

We picked up about 50 boxes of the collection and a whole bunch of prints/ art in large cardboard holders while on our way to the Calgary Comic Expo. We brought those boxes to the Calgary Expo and we brought in about 20 of them and placed them on the floor under our tables unsearched and unpriced ( we didnt have time since we picked it up on route! ) It was a feeding frenzy. We sold what I would say was 4 boxes full of magazines/ books/ fanzines /prints at the show to various buyers. We still have about 150 full boxes

We have yet to process this collection, for now we have finally just picked it all up as Dave picked up to remaining 100 boxes on Friday.

The original owner a fellow collector he knew that if he ever sold his collection that he would get first crack at several items so we are trying to honor that. I spent about 5 hours digging some of the boxes at the storage unit today to fulfill the buyers list of items.

As we took the first batch of boxes to the Calgary Expo we may have sold some of those items as we got the guys list after the Calgary show.
