  1. Also industry specific is the offset in salary. If I was making 2M doing management, well, I would be doing it too. But unfortunately top end is roughly 400k and top end "in the trenches" is roughly half that - soooo not worth it for all the problems you take on.
  2. 100x. That's like 20k to 2 million! I find that the further advanced I get and the more I make the less I actually do.
  3. And looks like the comics from this collection are getting their own sale to boot: https://comics.ha.com/c/search/results.zx?dept=1938&mode=live&auction_name=40273
  4. Whenever I think I am doing well with life and finances I just look at HA.com and it brings me down to earth. I have no idea how much money I would need to have in the bank or make on an annual basis to spend this kind of money on collectibles. For someone who has spent his entire adult life collecting, and a lot of my free time engaging with the collecting hobbies, I sure feel like a light weight in my willingness to drop this much money on something.
  5. Based on your username this is the auction for you!
  6. Yeah this Black Cat cover is one that makes a lot of fluff lists for people just getting into comics and comics history.
  7. Yes I am waiting for people that know anything to start throwing their price estimates into this thread.
  8. At least Dave M isn't a horror guy!! So we have that...
  9. Thanks, what I figured. High quality work it seems.
  10. No it does not. Amazing to see. I may even keep this Heritage catalog. But, the logo is a stat per the description "A logo, masthead text, and the cover caption box are very high-quality reproduction paste-ups affixed to the board. " What is never clear to me is when these were done, ie, modern or part of the production process.
  11. Indeed, some amazing stuff. I might wonder if the market can absorb it all in one sitting but I think history has proven the money shows up.
  12. Yes the Roger Hill collection is being offered, insane EC OA on offer.
  13. Geez, was it that long ago? Yes that's the one. We both commented on it at the time, perhaps a sign of weakness in that market. Nope. Ewoks usually knock money off the value
  14. Well that Williamson ROTJ page in the last signature was a true steal
  15. No clue if this is high, low, within reason, etc. I do know I scrolled this auction and this stopped me in my tracks. I don't collect the artist, property or genre either.
  16. You just need to stick a 10 year old TV at the doorway so they have something heavy to steal.
  17. I am in Tempe. Can you share the information of the place. I know it will be expensive but peace of mind may be worth it. This city isn't exactly free of property crime.
  18. I have pretty much been doing with alxjhnsn has been doing, but I have the benefit of being able to stay home when the people are here working. Pets are worse to deal with than art. If you really want to look offsite then see if your city has a fine arts storage facility. Unless you live in a very big city I doubt it, but I have been to these places for work and its amazing what people have there. Museums use them for offsite storage of unique and historically irreplaceable objects as well. It would cost a ton of money though.
  19. Yup, same here per my comment above. When I open a package if my first inclination isn't to frame it I know its getting sold
