A HG Action 1 or a Bugatti Veyron?

[COI]

You can buy a nice piece of land and a house in Italy, Ireland or any other beautiful location for that kind of money. Forget the comic book or the car. Im buying my retirement home.

very true, but the question was posed "just for fun"... so, why not enjoy the fantasy (like a lovely Irish gal and a pint!)

 

Exactly. I certainly don't think either the car or the comic are the best ways to spend 1.5 million. The Veyron also wouldn't be my #1 choice of car if I was in the market for an exotic, I just picked it because it's so excessive.

Neither one - both are tailor-made for insecure males.

 

Comic fan = Breadstick arms and pencil neck

 

Look at naked women = perv in mom's basement

 

Date lots of women = misogynist

 

Sports car enthusiast = small peeenis

 

What am I supposed to do with all my free time?

 

 

[TheShadowKnows]

I'd pick the Action. Exotic cars are cool, but '68-'71 American is what floats my boat. Besides, I don't have any desire to go beyond 70 mph anyway. For cars I'd rather have a '71 Road Runner or GTX.

 

 

 

Im with ya. nothing like american muscle first. Here is my dad's car. He is the original owner and keeps it looking good to this day.

What kind of car is that?

 

1966 mercury comet, Cyclone GT. all original, just some minor modifications to the 390 ci engine that was done about 25 years ago. Oh, he had chrome rims put on it because they kept stealing the hubcaps, although he's got a bunch in the garage. The car was in Brooklyn for the first 25 years and now sits nice and cozy in the garage in Pennsylvania.

That is a nice looking car.Looks to be as straight and dent free as new.

My grandpa had a 1965 Chevy Caprice 396 turbo jet engine.That car was a rocket with couches for seats.Sadly when he passed my grandmother gave it away.

Nothing like nuts and bolts to fix your cars back in the day. I love watching the Barrett-Jackson auctions on TV looking at those cars. They have an auction in Atlantic City in February that me and my dad go to every year. They have a few thousand cars there as well. kruseinternational.com i believe is the website.

I love all those old cars also.The kind of cars I saw at Harrahs back in the day.Im sure they had to wipe drool stains off all day long.

[VintageComics]

I like the engine of course, but the outside of it is ugly as mess. I'd take a Action 1 any day of the week.

 

Sacrilege. The body is an important part of its incredible design. The whole package is a feat of engineering.

 

Spending 1 million on a car makes you look like a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point.

 

As opposed to spending 1 million on a comic book, which makes you look like...?

 

a true investor

 

Right, because cars aren't collectible and they never reach 7 figures at auction.

 

The ones valued at over 7 figures aren't for sale, but some could easily surmount it.

 

If we're going to play this game, there are cars that have been estimated at being worth around the $20 million mark, if they ever come to public sale. As for substantiated sales, a 61 Ferrari 250 GT California sold for 10.89m at auction. Find me a comic that has even come close.

 

On top of that, there are many cars that can command 7 figures. How many comics are there that even have a shot? 2?

any NM Action 1

any NM Detective 27

MH copy of Marvel 1

MH copy of AA 16

any NM+ copy of Superman 1

a 9.8 copy of Batman 1

need I go on ... probably as many (if not more) comics that would sell for 7 figures, than production cars (though, I would say there are far more collector cars that would comman 7 figures than comics, but it is closer than 2)

 

Do all of these exist?

 

I don't know about the last two but I'm pretty sure the first 4 do.

OK but those are pretty much the ones that would crack a mil. And frankly I don't think the AA16 MH would, or it would have sold. And I'd say the marvel 1 wouldn't be a lock either. So that leaves two "for sures" in the entire friggin hobby - MH AC1 and Allentown tec 27. That's a not a heck of a lot.

[VintageComics]

Well it's just talking back and forth, I understand...but I believe the MH A #1 would top several $MIL, and I hear that the AA #16 had an offer of 0.75 $MIL that was turned down so I have no probs believing the MH MC #1 would crack a $MIL. It's rumored to be 9.6/9.8 perfect...that is a freak of nature if I ever saw one.

 

[jokersrevenge]

I'd take the B.V. Here"s Tim Durham's in our local parade. Seeing one up close, they are awesome.

again, we are just talking "what if's" here...

Neither one - both are tailor-made for insecure males.

Well, I agree on the car. Buying a flashy car to impress girls is classic male compensation behavior (yes, yes, some guys really love the car and performance, but some guys also really read Playboy for the articles).

 

But who the hell buys a comic book to impress girls? If they do, then they're really clueless.

I'll take the Bugatti too
