Title: Photos of an Amazing Collection from the CS forum - must be seen to be believed!
Post by: Yoc on December 11, 2011, 06:59:14 PM

Hi Gang,
I was looking for a Centaur cover for RH (I wont say what book but it's nice!), and started looking through the Massive Centaur topic on the Collector's Society board where I go as a last resort since I can't see a search function and Google is useless with the site.

Anyways, while looking I found these AMAZING photos!  Here is a midwestern collector name JB or JP who has an absolute Dream Collection!
Several pictures were taken so look at the next six or so pages for more.

Drool worthy stuff - and no, none are for sale.

I wonder, do you know this fellow Jim?  He was collecting in the 70s and 80s it says.

That is truly amazing Yoc, so many books in so short a time. I saw something about $8-10 for one book he had and he had two of them and they looked like pretty clean issues too, (1940 books).

Isn't this Jon Berk, guys?
I know OF him, Yoc, and corresponded with him a couple of times, but he's WAY out of my league. I have NOTHING like the depth of his early comics. Mine tend more to be 1945 to 1960.

JB would fit his initials, maybe it is.  I know of Jon but never seen a picture before.

For some reason I thought Jon Berk was in CT not the Midwest, but then I might be confusing him with someone else. And I've never met him in any case.

I thought so, too, Jon,
but there is a post about Centaur on the thread started by those amazing photos that's signed jberk 2010. Perhaps it's just a coincidence. I honestly don't know.
