I do the same thing; just randomly pick up an autobiography or biography and sometimes find an autograph. It’s quite a rush!

Love this post.TREMENDOUS finds!! Wow. Your title "better lucky than good" is perfection....it's also the whole premise of the film "Match Point", with Jonathan Rhys Meyers & Scarlett Johansson, which we just watched last week!

At estate sales, if I see the person had an interest in a specific genre (say NASA patches, space books, framed retirement picture from NASA or NASA contractor) I look though the related books as there is a decent chance they were interested enough to get books signed. This increases the chances of finding signed books compared to randomly looking at books or looking at every book!

Reminds me of a book "The Pattons" I have that's signed by George Patton IV (the son WWII Patton).

Signed books are nice finds. I have found here in northern Sweden Bob Dylan, Buzz Aldrin and Christoffer Lee for exampel. All in books by or about them. They stayed in my collection. Happy hunting from the arctic.

Hello from Orillia, Ontario, Canada. I love your videos and your picking style. I pick by eye as well. I have trained my eye for authors, key words, publishers, aesthetics. If I had $50 to spend I’d buy that box set. We all love the dollar and lower scores, but sometimes it makes sense to pay a bit more. Some of my recent finds are a stack of vintage Michael Moocock, a signed copy of Artist Lee Hock Moh, a stack of vintage Heinlein, and the complete Marilynn Monroe DVD collection. I travel from North Bay to Toronto hunting books. My pet subjects are Occult, Conspiracy, Sci fi, local history. I sell on marketplace and Amazon. Just starting eBay.

Can’t go wrong with vintage Moorcock! The DAW Elric PBs are good ones- especially early prints. I like to sell all of your areas of interest too! Thanks for the channel support!

$50 to $500 That's a 1:10 ratio that I go by. Except I use that ration for $20 and less solds. Even $50 and double+ your money in a few weeks is good.
