He will call me today about them, as I am in Sweden as well. There is a potential conflict between getting as much money for them as possible, and also the will to preserve them. He has put them out in practically every C64 related FB group there is, so my guess is that 100+ peeps already offered him various amount of money for them. I have been clear that my main interest is to preserve them and scan all covers (and put it all out to the public), and that it would be sad for the scene if they rot away in some collector's basement. |

Talked to him yesterday, and he is a really super nice chap. I think we talked for well over one hour about the scene back then, and how it is today etc. He will send me all of them for preservation before doing anything else with them, so cheers to him, and for the scene that will be richer with the preservation, and because he let us do this. I will share the whole batch publically, of course, and scan the disk covers for GotPapers.

UPDATE: It took some time to get things sorted, but I will recieve three boxes with these disks on Monday, and plan to start going through them next week ( I am a teacher and have a Easter holiday week :P ).
I'll keep you posted. I will probably live stream parts of the process on FB. ;) |
