PS: Amazing Fantasy #15 went for $75,000 plus fees of $11k.
Oh man, don’t tell me this guy never moved out of his mothers basement!!! I can hear the nerd jokes now…
What a weird way to inherit $500,000. First the original collector dies, then his mother does not throw them out, (whew!!!) and a cousin gets them. A cousin? Seriously?
Wow, how lucky can you get? I wonder if the surviving cousin ever wondered if his cousin was a nerd? Probably does not matter now.
I live in St. Louis and almost went to the auction today just to say I saw it.
Sadly I had other commitments and could not go.
My god ,that’s incredible!
it went for $75,000.00 Thats insane…guess they didn’t wanna take my five bucks a month payment… damn greedy bastards 😉
That is a sweet copy, and lots of great issues… ya think they’d take $5 a month payments? 🙂
what moron left that many classic comics to be abandoned in a basement?! XD Oh, and I´m so sad that I don´t live in the US, and have lots of money, otherwise I might´ve had a shot at getting these…x_x
PS! I saw some DC Comics too in the picture, I think it was the Flash and the Green Lantern. Nice to see there is some variety, and not only Marvel comics, even though we all already know they kick ass 🙂
man i went to the link. its like a bazillion old school comics.
