What makes it even more interesting is the Christmas season that so much action is happening. Deals to be had or is the collectible market stronger than ever?

so a downturn in the economy forcing people to sell? Death of GG bringing stuff out of the closet and from under the bed?

Dam thats a lot of Tamo's all at one time...

I think it is a combination of EGG and the economy, though I think Gary weighs in heavier. This should go on for about another month or so, then the crushed economy will likely force a few more sales.
I'm really happy to see the rares busting out. I've owned just about all of them in the past, and I was fortunate enough to see them go to other appreciative hands. To me, that is what it's all about. I'm not much of a hoarder.
Speaking of hoarders, has anyone heard from Stormber?

For me, it's simple coincidence. I hooked up with a guy who wanted to sell his collection, and made a good purchase. Dropped a large chunk of cash too I might add hehe.

Actually, it's making me hold back a few items, because I believe there is only say X amount of cash in the hobby at any one time, and you run too much nice stuff by people, they want to bid higher, but they just can't, you know? The woodie was the centerpiece of the collection...but...OK, I'll let you guys in.

Two more big things left in the collection:

1) 6th print OCE box mint in shrinkwrap.
2) NM Palace of the Vampire Queen, 3rd print, no baggie.

I'll probably list them in a couple weeks after this huge spike subsides...give people a paycheck to recover hehe. At any rate, what a week.

He's busily working on his house IIRC, though we haven't spoken since Gary's funeral.
