| Guys and gals, It is time to bid you good folks adieu... I have just celebrated my 72nd birthday, I have no one to leave my collection of just shy of 7,000 books to, I have developed other interests... I will be selling my collection, either wholly, if a reasonable offer is made, or bit by bit on the ebay... I really don't want to go that route, though, as my other interest has become quite time consuming... I do want to thank you all, first, for making me feel welcome here, and second, for making me feel welcome here... Hell, I told you I was old... You folks are an upstanding bunch, and I spent many enjoyable hours reading knowledgeable posts, funny posts, junk, and friendly posts... I may show up on occasion, just to check in, see what has or hasn't changed... I wish all of you the best. Take care, and Thank You. |

| @crystalphoto - Best of luck in all you do! I’m only about 6 years younger, and wonder when I will decide to clean house myself. But there’s still a few books that I wouldn’t mind owning, so feel free to post some stuff here, especially keys, where you won’t have to deal with fee-bay! | ||

 If you want to bludgeon someone with a comic, PSA should be your first choice.

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Thanks for being part of the forum and buying some of my dreck over the years. Quote: Originally Posted by crystalphoto You can start with the keys and the slabs and maybe sell the rest to MCS.

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I can relate. I've been retired for 12 years now and in that time I'm finally down to about 1 long box and 3 short boxes to having the whole 14,000+ added to CLZ. It's been a long process. |

| All the best for sure!! Like others have said, sell your slabes and keys here first....whatever doesnt sell go to Fee-bay and MCS. All the best to you and your future interests. Take Care! |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders Oh, yes, I know very accurately, what is in each box, condition, who I got it from  , and what I paid as well as current value... Quote: Originally Posted by Rafel I still enjoy the hobby, but I have gone with other interests that take precedence... better that someone acquire the collection that can appreciate it, than it just get lost in my estate... I truly thank you all for the well wishes... I will try and sell as a whole first, though some folks I contacted are really insulting... If nothing comes from that, I will post the better books here, where they will be appreciated... I just don't want to take the time to do it, but will go with the necessary route... |
