A relatively muted response - it sold for over 22k! I am not living on the same planet as these collectors - if that's what they are.

Such a pretty book!

Hey, that's my wallet!

If anyone in this forum happens to be interested: Marvel Comics Library. Avengers. Vol. 1. 1963–1965 Relive the classic early adventures of Avengers Nos. 1–20 in an XXL-sized edition that’s bigger than the Hulk’s fist, weightier than Thor’s hammer, and with more extras than Iron Man’s armor. Rather than recolor the original artwork (as has been done in previous decades’ reprints of classic comics), TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing—as if hot off a world-class 1960s printing press.

Of course, now I'm being ridiculous - or am I?

What if someone tore off Stan Lee's Sig from a comic cover and CGC encapsulated that? (I'm on a roll here.)

Or maybe someday, when the price is right, they'll encapsulate 1500 page DC and Marvel omnibi?

Single panels? Or has that already happened?

It seems we can sell anything

Yes. It seems stupidity is quite lucrative though, doesn't it. I foresee greater stupid. Not sure what it is yet, but the market will find a way... I fear it's only just begun.

Its all a matter of perspective.

I just made an invisible sculpture of a black hole.

Invisible sculpture is sooo last week.

And what about insurance?

I completely agree with both of you. It's no longer about the thing in question, but the idea of it. @topofthetotem posted this in the Water Cooler: This invisible sculpture just sold for over $18K

Get yer own peak buddy!

Hmmm- how are you with indentured servitude?

How much to touch a cootie?

Love this!

How enematic.

Ooh I'd better check the condition of my copy.

So, a further update - The Avengers is definitely next, followed by FF later this year, and GA Cap to follow in 2023. We are promised at least ten volumes but no confirmation yet what the remaining titles will be...
