In today's issue of the JR Newsletter (edited by William Luebke),
W. David Perkins writes: "As mentioned in a previous issue of JR News,
a large run of back issues of the John Reich Journal was being offered
in Fred Lake's Eighty-Sixth Mail Bid Sale of Numismatic Literature.
The sale closed November 14, 2006.  I spoke with Fred on the phone
after the sale was closed.  Quoting Fred, bidders were tripping all
over themselves to bid on the Journal issues.  There were a couple
of dozen bidders in all for these issues!  In particular, JRJ Volume I
/ Number 1 had many bidders going crazy on the phone before it
finally hammered for $99.00!

Interestingly, I mentioned this price realized to Brad Karoleff,
Editor of the Journal.  Brad did not display the same surprise that
I did upon seeing the price realized for the first issue; he mentioned
that he has paid around $100 on two occasions for a copy of this first
issue of the Journal!  I hope this doesn't mean that we all have to
now keep our copy of Volume I / Number 1 in our safe deposit boxes!
Personally, I refer to my set of the Journal regularly.

Realizing $83.00 each were Volume 3 / Number 2/3; Volume 4 / Number 2;
Volume 4 / Number 3; and Volume 7 / Number 2.   Three issues realized
$43.00 each:  Volume 1 / Number 2; Volume 2 / Number 3; and Volume 3 /
Number 1.  Three issues realized $27.00 each and one other issue
realized $25.00."
