How did the Beatles stuff come out for you. There were a couple of very nice pics there, especially the Peter Kaye one. I gotta figure you went all in for that one.
Yeah, I guess I did rebound pretty well from the slaughter of the first night. I'm very happy with the ones I got.
Thanks for the kind words. I collect in a slow steady way. Mix in a few lucky finds and deals. I'm pretty happy with how it's progressed. While he was one of the greatest players, I think many hold him in special place because of the person he was. That is why I like the pics depicting him playing, but I like a lot of the personal/human shots even more.


Mike/Mike/Craig,
I love the old magazines as well. I do think they are under appreciated, but for a while hope nobody finds out.



You know I just realized that I am the the poster child for the "Henry Yee effect." I sold a bunch of stuff I wouldn't of sold looking to raise funds for one or two items. I then bid higher than I would've usually, to insure I won it. Then, even though I lost it, my bid was responsible for an additional $600 on the final price. Once I did lose it I had all this money left over from the stuff I sold, so, as not to walk away empty handed, I then bid higher then I usually would've on multiple items. This raised the final prices of the stuff I lost, as well as the stuff I won.
I bet I'm not the only one who did this. This is certainly one reason why he gets bigger prices than many.

Best to all,
Mark

Mark, I am also a poster child. This was a great great point.
