I believe this was a group picture of some of Ian’s books taken long ago. I could be wrong though. Impressive shot.

I have no idea how to value this in dollars. It’s just neat the way Ian put this all together. I would not care for anything DC 1990 on so I would throw out any valuation on those.

Im not a restoration guy either.

But this will be fun. It would be great if somebody could buy it whole and keep it together. Then donate it to the Library of Congress. Do they have the space? 😂

No way his ask is only 1.5 million. Ian will be asking a premium because his name is attached to it.

 

I have NO idea who Ian Levine is and don't care.  Why would anyone ever pay a premium just because so and so owned a comic?

The key here is  : "Comprehensiveness  rather than condition"..."the majority of the restoration are from the early years"..hello...this is going to HA.com and most of it on their weekly auction.  my estimate 1.5 M depending on how much restoration on Key GA's

He followed the old Bridge axiom did he - "Length before strength"?

I had thought 5 mil conservatively. But would need every key graded to really know 

How can anyone speculate without grading the major keys?  Obviously, some of have taped spines, but others look pretty good.

Hidden away as nobody cares about those common as dirt pre-Robin 'Tec books, but front and center is the only copy of Double Action #1 in the entire universe.  :bigsmile:

Isn’t that around $250/book?  Seems really high given the vast majority would be worth less than that?  A lot would be sub $1/book I would think since he wasn’t focused on condition.  The Sensation 1 looks really rough.  Batman 1 looks like it has heavy restoration.

So you'd be paying $250 for a book from 2014 you can get for less than a $1

The fake Double Action 1, anyway. The real one was sold by Metro and looks nothing like this one, lol.
