Jeff Jacob selling his entire collection in 2025 with Hakes.

Just incredible prices, $105,000 for DT Ben. The dark blue dome 12 back R2 went for silly money as well.

The total for the first lot of the Jef Jacob sale was around $1.4 million.
 
I wonder what way that gets taxed in the States? Any of our American members care to hazzard a guess as to how much of that the IRS take off him.

Over here he'd be paying Capital Gains Tax. It was pre Oct '24, so 10% if he is a basic rate payer and 20% if he is a higher rate payer. With a collection like that, I suspect he is the latter, so $380,000. He may well have the proof of original cost/payment to help reduce that slightly, but even so that is one hell of a tax bill.
 
Indeed, he's got two more auctions to go yet. Some are estimating the final sale total could pass $7 million.

My question is if you have the money to buy these items are you going to see a decent return in the next 10 or so years.

I'm leaning towards yes.

I saw a post of his wife and she said that there will be 6 more auctions up every three months. I like the fact that he is going to donate 130k to charities
