Mmehdy Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited March 30, 2020 by Mmehdy Link to post Share on other sites

Just kidding. Why don't you call? Trying to understand why Sotheby's? Maybe the hope is some University or Museum steps up? My guess is asking price is $10,000,000/$400 per comic?

Why is it being promoted on Sotheby's and as a single lot, if it's selling through Heritage and in different amounts? Which isn't mentioned anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

If they do not find a buyer for the single lot or their price is unreasonable then look for this collection to end up on Ha.com they have the best platform for that collections liquidation.
