With those socialistic thoughts running through your head, how do you justify collecting anything? |

That is simply insane to wonder what goes on in the heads of the wealthy. It isn't like Paris Hilton who buys her dogs a $100,000 dog house or some billionaire like Paul Allen owning a $300 million dollar boat or even someone a hip hop artist riding around in a $500,000 car, this piece will appreciate in time and he will be able to sell it in ten years for maybe $1.5 million. Hence, investment. And $1 million is chump change compared to what paintings go for...To come on a collecting Forum and call out a collector of another form of collectible (which you may not like), doesn't make sense to me.

By why the big jump in price? The highest a comic has ever gone for in public is not even 1/3rd of a million, and $350-400K deals have only been "private". And then suddenly there is a $1M comic sold? At the exact price of $1M?? Doesn't seem at all odd to me....
|
If its the nicest example a million isn't hard to believe at all. $1000.00 for us is like a million for a lot of people.

Superman
Barry,
Jerry once said that there is a Superman reference in every sinngle episode of Seinfeld. Most of the "references" occur because he has a copy of Superman on the refrig or an image of Superman on the shelf.....there ins't an episode without a reference to Superman I am told. |

The Superman refrigerator magnet is always visible, assuming the episode has a scene in his apartment. He mentions something about Superman in roughly half of them.

cold hearted posts
Some of you are very cold-hearted!! Quoting my post, then making a mockery out of it. I don't appreciate it. :(

No one is trying to make a mockery of your post. Several of us have pointed out the irony of: you being a collector, coming on a collector's card forum, and trashing others who collect, albeit at a higher dollar level than most. Do you not see that difference? (For the record, my wife and I donate to charity, every year, almost as much as the Average Annual Wage in our state. In addition, I sit on the Board of Directors of a local charity that runs a food pantry, and provides financial support, and counseling for those in need. In addition to my Board duties, I spend about 10-15 hours a week volunteering for the same charity.) |
Paul, you can't come on to a vintage collectible message board where people often spend large amounts of money for collectibles and proceed to tell them what they should instead be doing with their money. If you do (and in a roundabout way you did) then expect some mockery to come your way. Besides you have no way of knowing how much that million dollar collector gives to charity anyway.

Detective Comics #27 just sold over a million dollars a few minutes ago. I am not going to believe it though until Richard and JP determine whether the sale is good.

The sale is legit.

That's the problem with the internet; anyone can proclaim to be an expert without providing solid evidence along with their CVs.
Until you post scans of the front and back of the million dollar checks, I am going to have to go with JP and say this is another fake sale. |
The sale is not legit.

Sam Kinison
Havent seen that in a long long time, funny shit!
|
Sam was legit.
And I have proof. |

Brutal commercial. That's why you don't put everyone you ever met on your payroll.
|
I know Jim, it was a small joke. Why would a 75 year old ex-ballplayer buy a million dollar comic book? Can't touch that!
|
I knew that you knew. I just wanted to post that commercial. I always liked it.
|
Jim,
I knew that you knew that Barry knew. |
That was a very funny commercial. Never saw it before.
|
Rob,
I knew that was coming. Also knew you knew I knew, you know? |
Quote:
Can I quote you on that? |
Didn't Ralph Kramden say to Alice, something to the effect of :...I know, that you know, that I know..." It had something to do with they were getting evicted and Ralph knew Alice caught cold easily. Jim will remember the context, as a fellow Honeymooners fan.

This is in fact one of the more amusing threads of the year so far. Whenever you can incorporate an "Adam Moraine-esque" statement, the uncertainty of outrageous comic book sales (as well as speculation to the sales legitimacy by a resident comic book/Net54 staple), multiple references to Seinfeld (as well as an assumption that he is the new owner of the comic book) and video footage of Hammer during his hey-dey, how can you go wrong?
