Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 23rd, 2025 12:19 PM Author: Ruddy titillating abode This exact same map, just not from this dealer. I'm going to frame it and put it in my bedroom.
I've also been building a rare book collection for a while, this is what I have so far, all first edition/first issue:
1. Gullivers Travels 2. Christmas Carol 3. Count of Monte Cristo 4. Alice in Wonderland (first published edition) 5. Treasure Island 6. The Jungle Book/Second Jungle Book 7. Catcher in the Rye 8. The Great Gatsby 9. Dracula 10. The Time Machine 11. Wrinkle in Time 12. The Winnie the Pooh Books (first four books) |

As for the map, I give it a 175. It's an awesome map, but the cartouch is a bit tacky. They could've easily doubled down and just done https://i.imgur.com/NRyePAR.jpg
Still, it's an outstanding map and one I'd consider owning. Here are my next two maps:
https://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/95479/typus-totius-orbis-terrarum-in-quo-christiani-militis-ce-hondius (despite being very small, it's a genuinely captivating map)
also, raremaps.com is probably my favorite dealer. I've also bought a few maps from rare-maps.com, which is my second favorite. |

Date: April 23rd, 2025 1:23 PM Author: Mischievous Office Death Wish this just shows how people will hate on cslg no matter what. i assume out of jealousy.
if he does prole shit like laser tag and carnival cruises he gets shit on for that. if he does shit like collect books and maps he gets shit on for that. and when he does shit like helping poasters professionally or buying them dinner people just say it's all to satisfy his ego and he just wants people to worship him. he could spend the rest of his life using his money to operate non-profits and people would shit on him for that too.
haters gonna hate. |

Date: April 24th, 2025 11:01 AM Author: beady-eyed citrine senate Not really into the map but how much do those books cost, total/average/median? I'm jealous of those, that might be something I'd like to to. Are you just ordering them online or are you exploring back alley rare book shops to discover cool finds? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5715047&forum_id=2).#48876817) |

Date: April 24th, 2025 11:10 AM Author: Ruddy titillating abode I go to rare book shows, I look at things online, I visit rare book shops, I check auctions. I basically do a bunch of shit to find books. A lot of books are overpriced but you can find undervalued books if you know what you are looking for.
For example, the Gulliver's Travels I got was bound in the 19th century, which normally would make it worth less since it's not contemporary binding. However, the seller didn't realize the binding was done by a famous book binder, which made the book worth significantly more. So I probably bought it for half of what it was worth.
Either way though I don't plan on ever selling any of them, so I don't really care if I get the best deal. I just want copies that are near fine/fine with as much of them original as possible. If I have to pay a premium sometimes to get it, that's okay because my time is worth so much that it's not worth stressing. |
|
Date: April 24th, 2025 12:58 PM Author: beady-eyed citrine senate I like most of these books. Could I pick them up for like a grand? Or is it gonna be 5 figs or what?
Also is there like a price guide like I used to have for my baseball cards or do I have to spend years watching auctions and shit? |
|
Date: April 24th, 2025 1:24 PM Author: Ruddy titillating abode Lol, no. You couldn't pick them up for a grand. Just google some of those titles, prices can be crazy. And some of the books I have you might have to wait for because there are few to none for sale right now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5715047&forum_id=2).#48877267) |

Date: April 24th, 2025 1:33 PM Author: pink greedy messiness What is it with rich Jews and collecting things?
My dad worked for a famous billionaire, not flame, and he also collected rare books, art, cars, all sorts of shit. What is it about the need to collect? I mean, why collect? Why own things? Why own the rarest art in the world, what's the point? I will never understand the impulse. |

Date: April 24th, 2025 2:26 PM Author: beady-eyed citrine senate Eh, nevermind then. I don't have fuck you money.
