As I started collecting I didn’t take into account the cost of display and storage materials. After I tracked down a “very uncommon” item I bought a fire safe. it just dawned on me - Owning an original might make me a nervous wreck. I probably would build a panic room just for the safety and security. LOL. I’d still get it. I just need to budget for the armed guard.

I am super excited for you, too. Opportunity and preparedness all come together. I’m asking myself how I can be ready because I know the day will come that I will have a chance to own some original art I just hope I have enough money to make it happen. some fun things to know about your strip… 1. It originally published on March 28, 1986 https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/3/28 2. It was rerun during Bill Watterson's first Sabbatical on July 26, 1991 https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1991/07/26 3. Hobbes’ hands have pads on them. This was only during his early years. Watterson decided to stop drawing them. Most of the times his paws just didn’t show the palms. 4. Hobbes’ head changed to a new shape eventually. 5. Second frame - Hobbes breaks the 4th wall - this is debatable but he is looking directly at the reader. Again, congrats on the score. I’d love to see detailed photos on here or if you have them posted anywhere share the link. Can you share?

Wow. That has a lot going on. Bart was certainly ripe for the rip off. Is irrelevant attitude was begging to be cameos. thanks for the tip. -

I absolutely like interior appearances too. What is the details on this one? I can see Hobbes (3 up from Archie) Calvin is probably going to have an existential crisis since Hobbes is in live action mode around all the other people. -

Hey. Reviving this thread for a moment. There is a collector on Reddit who has been working to collect cameos. visit his profile to find other posts and lists -
As for gifting… the strip just listed on HA was personalized to Lee. Is that Lee Salem? (Edit: I read the description on HA and it is Lee Salem.) From my position that is double star power in the C&H universe. Sure Garry T was a big name but he was outside the lore and legend of Bill Watterson. my estimate is it will crest over $500k without BP. Who else wants to stake their guesstimate?
