Does anyone think they missed a marketing moment by not doing this in 2024 for the 50th anniversary? I think the prices for all of this stuff, even the MM, are going to be good deals in a year.

The estate needed money right now so there was no choice.

I'd say the estate got pretty good money in these auctions. I doubt waiting six months or a year would have resulted in a lot more (though some of the prices may in fact seem low in five or ten years).

I thought the MM would stop at about where it was, the 11k. Wow.  PDT_Armataz_01_05

I also expected more items to be listed each week.

So, I dont know what I am talking about at all here.

Curious where people think the 26k price is coming from. I assumed it was mostly the artists signatures. Trampier couldn't have signed much of anything.
