If I add these, then there are a few others including those who are boardies and those who aren't that have incredible collections including a personal friend of mine. And perhaps there are boardies who would prefer not to have their collections listed here. I'm going to stick with original owner collections and remove the noteworthy ones that aren't. And I've modified the title of this thread. Thank you for helping me narrow this down (thumbs u

Hoping that with the help of more knowledgeable collectors than me, we can have a list for boardies to refer to and look at them comparatively. Perhaps we might get more info about these incredible collections?

i'd take 1/2 a Brulato vs 2 Dallas Stephens but yes, OO collections only

 

Doesnt that disqualify the Slobidan, since it wasn't all OO?

I was under the impression that everything from 1960 onward was purchased new by Calvin.

I would add the Fire Lake Collection books to this list. That collection had some beauties and many highest graded books.

 

I forgot about that collection. I can't remember who brought it to market, Lange's ?, but it was sold raw, in auction, via E-Bay. I remember they graded really strict, like their VF's were 9.4's type of strict. Once people caught on the books got very pricey. I think Brulato was buying many of these.

Personally, I don't recall getting any. Regrets. Nice books.
