    Do it! What good is money without spending it?

    No offense, but I think this thread has gone to your head if you think that book is worth that much money...

     

    Until you sit back and wonder which is more ridiculous. 2 or 3 grand for a 1 of 1 sketch cover (with colors!) or 1 to 2 grand for a graded incentive variant of which there are numerous copies.

     

    If everyone is all over Dell'Otto because his art is just that amazing then surely his one offs are worth that much, no?

  2. Hit a flea market yesterday that we hadn't been to in a few years. One guy that I remembered was still there and had a lot more comics this time (along with tons of cool vintage memorabilia). Unfortunately, he still has the same clue as far as pricing. It's frustrating to see a 2.0 Sub-Mariner #1 for $300 and he won't budge more than $100 off the price. "But a near-mint is $600!" the expert proclaimed to me when I offered some friendly advice. Oh well. I escaped with this handful of books for $45, so I did okay. I might take some crisp $100 bills there and see if I can get him to come down on some of his better books like an ASM #300, GI Joe #155, Star Wars #107, etc. An interesting statement from him (even April thought he talked WAY too much) was, "Cash only...the government doesn't know I do this."

     

    Here's my purchase and then some photos of his multi-booth shop from his online ad...

    I don't much care for people that run museums and have cool old kitsch.

    Good luck chip tried getting him to down on that ASM 300 but he thinks its pristine condition and worth what he has it marked at.
