greg11 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone know what eventually happened to alan's marbles or Mad comic collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I thought we weren't asking that question so soon. Do you collect Mad? I have an entire run from #24 thru the eighties. All mint except for #25 thru #29 which are near mint. If you're looking for the original comic book size Mad, I have most of those as well, but I'm not selling those yet. Also have an entire run of TV Guides from Jan 1957 thru the eighties if you're interested, which it seems you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 didn't you talk to the supposed seller. Too soon for the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Truth is like love, you have to earn it. I can't imagine him having any personal stash left after all the medical bills started pouring in. The doctors got most if not all the good marbles here folks. It is simple math. Alan didn't make that much on consignment mibs, which is why I try not to add too many consignments to my own business. I need to sell mostly my own stuff to make any real money to pay my monthly bills, and he must have had big time medical bills coming in for at least well over a year or so.

mibcapper Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 give it a break folks .... give alan a thought instead of his marbles .... bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Bill, from what I understand, some are thinking about Alan's parents. With the idea that more money could be generated for them with public auctions than through private deals. Don't know if that's everyone's motivation, but some have that in mind. Of course I appreciate your advice to give it a break. However those looking after Alan's estate deal with the challenge, I'm sure they're doing what they think best.

MC Marbles Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm sure they're doing what they think best. Let us leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I know from experience that those medical bills keep coming in for 18 months. From doctors and specialists and labs and others that you never ever heard of. Just when i would think it was all over, here would come a fresh one. Thank God for the end of of.

spara50 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I am getting emails from a couple people that still have consignments in his estates possession asking how to get them back. Not sure what to tell them. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 This was why some cosignors went to see Alan before his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
