Amazing photos but can't decide whether they make me happy or sad. I think it's a ****ing shame all this great stuff that some real die-hard collectors would kill for has ended up in the hands of a soulless auction house that with all due respect have no idea about this stuff and are basically learning as they're going along. There's some real history here, it's got to be one of the biggest finds ever, and it doesn't strike me that they care about anything other than squeezing every last penny out of it, eg staggering the sales to maximise profit when we can all see they have dozens of duplicates that if sold consecutively would restore a bit of normality to the market.
I also can't believe all this case-fresh stuff is just being left sitting in mouldy boxes, and they're even putting post it notes on everything! Are they not aware condition is so important to collectors? They should have put all the MOCs in star cases before even removing them from the store. Again just shows a lack of understanding/appreciation.
Thanks for the photos but I think all they do is make me angry that it's all going to end up in the hands of the wankers you see on Facebook.
