Owner's Description
Issue #74 features the death of the Leader. Our WP 9.8 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection and is tied with one other copy for highest graded. This was one of those books where we were the top bigger at just a few hundred dollars entering the live auction. Unfortunately, because I was attending a football game, I did not participate in the live auction, so I left a high bid substantially over what I thought would be required and ended up getting the book at very near that reserve and about 10 times where the book was entering the live auction. Because it’s a PC WP 9.8, which is the ultimate in SA books in my view, I was not too upset to get it at that lofty price, well at least I wasn’t catatonic LOL. But, I always wonder whether I would have gotten it cheaper if I could have waited until the live auction to bid? Surely some of you have had similar experiences and wondered if somebody is artificially bidding up auction books to get to your max price? Oh well….
