"A lot of these iconic items were bought by a billionaire and now they are dispersed among the riffraff," - lol

After all, the riff-raff are only worth hundreds of millions.

"A lot of these iconic items were bought by a billionaire and now they are dispersed among the riffraff," said Arthur Przybyl, chief executive officer of Ani Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Pretty sad to see that sort of comment. This was a chance to get some exposure for our hobby, and some guy from big Pharma comes up with that.

The catalog is a wonder, btw, a true reference for the bookshelf, and another nice contribution to the hobby by Messers Siegel, Shreve, et al.

Christopher Rupp picked up a dozen lots for clients.

Isn't Arthur allowed a humorous comment?

Has Siegel put out any timeframe for the rest of the Gross material? I think I saw a comment that it might take a couple years. I hope that's not true, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Two years. A lot of material. For instance there is an entire album dedicated only to the 1847 issues.

next year will also see the beginning of the distribution of the Erivan Haub collection. That will likely be another two years of sales.
