The collection of Lars Emil Bruun will be hitting the auction block soon, 100+ years after his death. Current estimates place the value of the 20,000 piece collection at 72MM, and @GoldFinger1969 thinks all the good material is already in slabs. :baiting:

Wonder if any, or how many, of the pieces will be going into TPG slabs?

Wow, that cabinet looks impressive. Wonder if they'll be auctioning that off as well? hm

Fortunately, this was one of several large collections that survived the Nazi occupation. Records of the Tripartite Commission list several private collections that did not make it through intact.

Auctioneer to top bidder:  "And the cabinet?  Would the gentleman be interested in placing a bid on this one-of-kind, custom cabinet?"

Top bidder:  "Certainly not!  Surely you must be familiar with the term 'cabinet friction'?"   :roflmao:
