JOHN J. FORD LIBRARY SALE NOTES
Phil Carrigan writes: "George Kolbe and staff conducted a
magnificent sale including the warm hospitality provided at
lot viewing. I found a bounty of information looking at lots
I did not intend to buy! No one I've spoken to bought as
much as they intended to buy at the sale. This includes
bidders present, mail bidders and particularly, me!"[The sale realized $1.66 million. A front-page article by
Dan Friedus in the June 21st issue of Coin World
includes a nice photo of the auction room. Some more
photos are available on the Kolbe web site: Auction Photo's
-Editor]Ray Williams writes: "I don't know if it's been the experience
of others on this newsletter, but I find that when I generally
place a mail bid on numismatic items, and I'm the successful
bidder, I usually pay the maximum amount that I bid.That was not the case with the Stack's/George Kolbe Ford
Library Sale! I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised
when I found out that I was successful in purchasing one lot
that was important to me, and I received it for $1000 less
than the maximum I had bid. There's enough complaining in
the hobby - I just wanted to share something positive that
happened to me."- 2004-06-13
