Best news I've read in weeks, can now safely stop checking Betts for updates every 10 minutes and worrying about missing it whenever I'm not online; thank you David!

Updated 10-20-20 4:43 pm ***UPDATE: Still working to inventory a HUGE consignment... Best guess is early November to list. I plan to give people 2-3 days advance notice before posting.
It was nice of John to send out a spreadsheet of everything before all of it gets listed.
I noticed he has The Stand Coffin limited. I know that's one of the more sought after limiteds so I'm sure that'll be the first to go. $3000-$4000 probably?
I don't think it's that expensive. I'd say between 2000-2500.

VERY QUICKLY: NEW PARTIAL CONSIGNMENT FRIDAY 4pm at www.bettsbooks.com
Basically 1st third of John Hanic's collection; level playing field, there has been NO cherrypicking....his list was sent out by him a couple months ago to several collectors; I've received at least 15 email requests, refused ALL. First come first served....good items typically go FAST (within first couple minutes).
Still planning Friday 4pm...LOTS of items I have not even inventoried or priced yet...will come later.
John, assume that is 4 PM Connecticut (Eastern) time?Quote:

I hate to say because it's sad, but good luck. I am sure it will be a magnificent sale.
I'll try and snag some things. :)
Hope it's profitable for you, John!
I know there will things that I want.
I know that those are likely to go way too high for me.
I know that I am likely to get a bonus this year.
But I don't know when or how much.... nor that if I should spend a lot of money on collectibles at this time, given the current situation
Bad timing :-(
Last night I dropped a sizeable chunk of change on a signed print that I've been chasing for years, so my want list for John's books is now cut down from fifty or so to one, maybe two. Possibly three. Well, technically the want list remains the same ... it's the capability of purchasing behind it that's cut down.
So many nice items...
Was anybody else's heart beating hard in their chest as you kept hitting the refresh button and your clock showed 2 PM plus twenty seconds? Got my order in for 1 single item in less than 30 seconds; now fingers crossed!
Yeppers. Hoping for three. Will settle for at least one.Quote:

Now I will go back and forth between checking the voting results and my email box. LOL
Good luck everyone.
Took a swing on a few:)
I’m just trying for one. Hoping I was quick enough.
I'm interested in what print you bought. Pics?Quote:

3 of the 6 I am chasing did, missed one for sure.Quote:

It's an Artist Proof of "The Eagles Nest", published by Valor Studios back around 2009 sometime. It shows the 506th PIR Easy Company (of Band of Brothers fame) in Berchtesgaden after they've taken Hitler's Eagle's Nest, and is signed by a lot of names you'll recognize if you're a WWII history buff (or have seen Band of Brothers): Ed Bernat, Buck Compton, Brad Freeman, "Wild Bill" Guarnere, Forrest Guth, Babe Heffron, Ed Joint, Clancy Lyall, Don Malarkey, Earl McClung, Frank Perconte, Shifty Powers, Ed Shames, Ron Speirs, Rod Strohl, Buck Taylor, Ed Tipper, Jack Agnew, Tom Bellitto, Bud Berry, and Gerald Edwards.
