Ever buy something from a celeb's private collection?

[megoat]

No, not really.
But, My step-dad was the singer of a Canadian garage/pop-psych band called "A Passing Fancy" and I inherited a lot of his records when he died. I have a bunch of rare psych lp's with his name written in marker on the back and some are inscribed to him (Sky Saxon, Arthur Lee). Not sure if that really even counts.

Feel free to send me a copy of that "A Passing Fancy" lp!

Hahaha, that's pretty cool. I collect oddball and private weirdo psych and beyond lps....any Canadian hyper-obscurities in that collection? Bent Wind? Plastic Cloud?

Gawd, I wish. To be honest, I'd probably have sold them by now. I'm uncomfortable owning things that are outside my own price range. I don't like the responsibility of looking after expensive items. Had a dog take a leek on a crate of records before, thankfully saved by my plastic record sleeves, however wasn't so lucky when a new kitty decided to make them a scratching post while I was at work.
No $1000 rekids in my collection.

I once got a package from an eBay seller that was taped shut with tape with Indian Larry's logo all over it, but I don't know for sure if it came from him.
I did make a custom for actress Francine York

I never bought anything from anyone known, but I sold a Super Powers figure on ebay to comics artist Walt Simonson years ago. Emailed back and forth a few times, he seemed like a really nice guy.

I picked up a few Remco 3 3/4 dracs and I believe an AHI Drac from Ackerman's collection when it was being pared down years ago. Passed along the set to someone here just a few years back.

Did you get the chance to visit, or did you pick them up when they auctioned everything off? Keep anything?

I haven't bought anything from a celeb's private collection, but I have held the original 1933 King Kong armature in my hand that famed collector Bob Burns sold to Peter Jackson. I thought that was pretty cool.

I wanna say the Ackerman auctions were running in 2001, but my memory can be a bit fuzzy. Picked 'em up off of eBay, not in person.

I bought some comics from Frank Miller's comic collection a couple of years ago. I am sure there is more stuff over the years, but I don't get worked up over it.
