Want to own a piece of Holmes history?
Was bidding on several lots of old Minifigs miniatures, when I noticed this in the auction details:
"From the estate of J. Eric Holmes, who was the editor of the original TSR Basic Dungeons & Dragons game as well as a noted Science Fiction author who published "Mahars of Pellucidar" (a sequel to At the Earth's Core). We will be selling off a large portion of his astounding collection of comics, books, magazines, games, fanzines and other memorabilia from a lifetime of sci-fi and fantasy fandom. "
Pretty cool! Hopefully some of the proceeds are going to the Holmes estate..

ReplyDeleteI think this is the list of Holmes stuff: stores.ebay.com - Great deals from Billy Galaxy vintage toys | eBay stores
ReplyDeleteI can confirm this stuff is from Dads collection. I recognize his paint jobs on the mini figs. I painted a couple of shields. Billy has been a fair and friendly guy to the whole Holmes family.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that, Chris Holmes! Happy it's someone with ties to the family and not just some fly by night operator : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that Andy. Billy posted an ad on DF a few days ago but I forgot to link it here.
ReplyDeleteHandy Haversack there should be more than that, about 500 auctions. Search other items by Billy, then search Holmes in the auction text
ReplyDeleteOf note, the Space women may be the same ones he mentioned in the Adventure of the Lost City
ReplyDeleteMost of the mini auctions end in the next few hours. I'll grab some screenshots later.
ReplyDeleteYes Zach you spotted her.
ReplyDeleteThe large green dragon is great, too bad one wing is missing.
ReplyDeleteZach H, I was bidding on her! Sadly someone snagged her right at the end of the auction, didn't get a chance to up my bid : /
