The High Cost of Common Sense
It is said that “common sense isn’t so common.”
First editions of Thomas Paine’s “revolutionary” 1776 classic aren’t easy to come by. And “Common Sense” is as rare at auctions as it is in real life. It was “Common Sense” that got the colonists all stirred up with Paine’s musings on taxation without representation and how a new, free nation might be formed. Soon it was party time. No,not a book signing party...A Tea Party...The Boston Tea Party, to be precise. The First consequential popular PROTEST movement of our land.
The tea got tossed, but not the book. First editions, when they’re spotted, can bring well over $200,000. But even non-first editions are collectible, and not quite as rare. Don’t underestimate the worth of those later printings. They have value,too. In 2005, A Bryn Mawr businessman received $156,000 for a volume of nine Revolutionary and early federal pamphlets, including Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense.”
Apparently good sense, as rare as it may be, has its price.
PERHAPS YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF RARE VALUE.
Let us know HOW we may HELP you.
