I have the same thing when I look at them from ebay.be, then I only see 5, but you need to go via ebay.co.uk and then you see all 21. I put in the ebay.co.uk link in the post, but even for me when I click it in my post it forwards to ebay.be and I only see 5, which is frustrating.

For me : .co.uk = 5 items, .com = 0 items :D

The UK link shows 30 items for me.

that's strange and sucky. PM me if you want to get in contact with Jon direct.

Is Jon planning to sell his other proofs as well, or are these just surplus/duplicate copies? He has one of the best proof collections out there. I sold him a lot of my stuff over the years. Great guy.

Everything

just a heads up, there are TWO proofs collectors named John selling right now, and it did confuse me, one is sellling on eBay and the other has their collection going through Betts.the John selling through Betts is selling it all, do we know that the other John is also selling everything?

Yes he is as well. He is keeping only a letters from hell and his US 1st collection.

The UK-based collector is Jon(athan) but yes, it is quite a coincidence. Not many big proof collectors out there and to have two of them selling their collections at the same time... I wish them both the best.

I agree, with Mike P, Jonp and now also John selling their proof & ms collection, it's definitely exciting times. I buy scratch lottery tickets every week but no luck yet :-).

Jon(athan) has already sold most of his collection, and is now putting the rest (about thirty items at the moment) on ebay. His ebay name is "fenpad". If anyone from the US (or outside the UK) is interested but can't find any listings, please let me know.

Seems like the "Later" arcs are now arriving at their recipients.
I saw some pictures on instagram

Gotta start checking my mail then :D

I don't recall seeing US or UK proofs for If It Bleeds...and I'm not sure that I've seen any offered for sale. There's nothing on the exhaustive Proof/ARC archive, either. If anyone has a picture handy of either proof and would post, I would be greatly appreciative! And if I've missed something obvious, please feel free to hurl insults my way!

I shared some pictures on the proof thread, back in march.
But I had some issues with files from my website a few weeks ago, and it doesnt seem to be available anymore. It's quite a nice one, with different color of page blocks, for eacch story
I still have my UK proof, and could provide some pictures tomorrow if I remember :)

No problem! I would send pics once u get it but my pictures skills are somewhat lacking so the Ebay pics will be much nicer 😁

We don't have the US If It Bleeds listed in the catalog yet, although a Blue Cover is listed here on John's master list. If someone comes across a copy please let me know, forward some photos and we'll get it listed. I've gone ahead and added the numbered UK Trade Cover shown on eBay to the master list.

As we all get over the shock today of losing John, know that this thread which he dedicated years of time and effort to will live on. I've updated the front page with "Established May 31, 2007 by John Hanic" under the header in his memory; I've also added my contact info for future updates. Please send any new finds (with photos or other supporting info please) to me as you would have to him.

As some of you probably know, John didn't list every item that he was told about; it had to hold up to his scrutiny and in his best opinion actually be considered a Proof, ARC or Manuscript. He would always ask for good photos to evaluate, and if there was any question as to what an item might be he would reach out and ask for opinions. If something was sketchy with no photos or lousy documentation he wouldn't include it on the list, because he didn't want any bad information posted that could mislead fellow collectors. I intend to maintain the thread just as he has, questioning and verifying before giving it the Jhanic stamp of approval and adding it to the front page master list.

By the way, the very last proof that he was on the lookout for was "Later"; I look forward to listing that one for him.
