    Apparently out futures are oat-of-register.

    That white spine would really bother me - in 9.4 let alone this grade.

    Conversely, Adam, does rising inflation encourage more intensive investment in collectibles, and trigger higher prices at auction?

    A few more 'breakout' issues among them I think. #19 went for over 8k in CGC 7.5 for example. Interesting that the #71 in CGC 7.5 actually went for more than the #66 CGC 8.0 [highest graded]. From my point of view, it was nice to see the Rockford #49 in 9.0 break $3k - I've always loved that cover. #26 in CGC7.5 broke 3k, #22 in CGC 8.0 broke 4k, and the list goes on...

    The last copy of Planet #15 I owned had brittle pages. It made me sad to see the slow accumulation of powdered paper accumulate in the bottom of the CGC holder, so I let it go.
  7. Flex Mentallo
    Papercuts can be quite painful, can't they Billy? I sympathise.
  8. Flex Mentallo
    Is the Planet #19 CGC 7 5 yours, Mike? That book just broke 5k with four hours still to go. (If memory serves, the last copy in this grade sold on Heritage at around this mark last year.)
  9. Flex Mentallo
    Roger that.
  10. Flex Mentallo
    It's a coping mechanism.

    Or, you know, buy the bar? [I really have no idea!]

    What frustrated him is that he did not think he could draw! [I used to give a lecture in which I argued that Abstract Expressionism is a form of realism, and in contrast, photorealism is a form of abstraction.]

    I had no idea!

    The abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko was a starving artist in Greenwich Village who would bum drinks off friends at his local bar. He became famous virtually overnight and started to make lots - and lots- of money from his exhibitions. But when he tried to convince his bar pals, they refused to believe him. So he bought a Cadillac, even though he couldn't drive it. He had it towed to a parking space near the bar, and when next his buddies ribbed him about his 'fantasy sales', he took them all outside to show them his new car. This was told to me by a British artist who had met him. I never thought to ask if Rothko ever learned to drive...
