BASS SALE SHOW-N-TELL
A few more reports are trickling in. Leonard Augsburger was another
disappointed underbidder - his $300 bid on lot 39, Bowers' "Empire Topics"
number 1-19 was bested by another bidder at $350.
Phil Carrigan bid on six lots and was successful on these:
Lot 214: Woodside & Oliver sale, 1892 (NY Stamp & Coin)
Lot 219: W.W.C. Wilson sale, part III, 1927 (Wayte Raymond)
Lot 235: Hart sale, 1895 (Scott Stamp & Coin)
"each of which are great Canadian-content sales. I raised my bid to get the
Wilson catalog having lost a chance to buy the copy from Champa III to my
friend George Kolbe. "
MORE ON EBAY
Pete Smith "would like to add a clarification to Larry Mitchell's
comments on eBay. The eBay "Books" category has only six
subdivisions: General, Rare, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Children and
Textbooks. There are thousands of offerings in each category.
The Coins and Stamps category has many subdivisions includiing
one for "Publications." This includes old redbooks, Bowers' catalogs,
and the kinds of things of greatest interest to collectors of numismatic
literature."
Larry Mitchell notes a change in his email address - it is now
ldmitchell@qnet.com
MORE FROM THE NET
Brad Bloom saw our web site and inquired about membership;
Jorge Crespo of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico is also considering
