    Thank you everyone for your kind words. I tell myself EVERY DAY how lucky I am to be doing what I do...I really like my "real" job but Betts is like one of my own children, I love it so much and I am just so damned lucky to be doing a job/service that brings so much satisfaction. And like any parent, I have plenty of faults and shortcomings, but the journey...man the journey is a dream. Thanks go out to ALL of you. Even if I did not own Betts, the King collecting world is just special.

    Thanks for posting, David. We'd never have seen these great pieces otherwise.

    (And that sketch of Susan is just stunning.)

    Very nices pieces, David!

    And I did something similar to you about my collection. I have an excel file I try to update every month and where to sell the stuff (USA, Argentina, Worldwide, since I have a large part of my collection that is in Spanish). I have my bookstore here so the contacts are there to be used.
    I don't expect my wife or daughters to keep the collection (maybe my daughters will be fans in the future, who knows?), and I'm not planning to sell it in the short term (ten years).
    Wanted list:

    Thanks everyone!

    And I know I just started a threat wishing Jerome a speedy recovery (a thread cause he is our leader after all), I do NOT want to slight my friend "Johnny", who is having some issues of his own. I also wish him healing and a speedy recovery.

    Think I have to agree. The bidding should have started at maybe $7,000? But that's just my guess. All I know is to start at $9,000 seemed high to
    me. But hey, it wasn't my book.

    Well, everyone says "its is only worth what someone will pay for it", but I have always thought there was a corollary, "its worth whatever it takes to get someone to sell it" It all depends on if you are the buyer or seller. In this case the seller would rather have the book, then say, $9000.

    I would say it depends more on the fact was the seller looking to sell or not. In this case he was aiming to sell, which put the power in the buyers' hands. Buyers didn't want it for that price, which was $10k. Therefore, it's not worth that right now.

    If the seller was not looking to sell and someone came to them, the power would be in the seller's hands.

    I just think this is like a Pawn Stars episode where someone brought in something with sentimental value and couldn't come to grips with the fact it's not worth what they wanted and leaves.
