Can anyone substantiate that Leonardo Di Caprio still collects and has anything to do with the explosion of prices for 9.8 Marvels?

 

I've heard people mention this rumor. Would be intersting to hear from someone who has directly sold to him.

 

1 - The first rule of DiCaprio/ 9.8 Marvels, you do not talk about DiCaprio/ 9.8 Marvels.

 

#2 - The second rule of DiCaprio/ 9.8 Marvels is, you DO NOT talk about

DiCaprio/ 9.8 Marvels.

;):D

Complete conjecture, as far as I know. A few years ago, he was seen at Chris Foss's booth at the SD con, but he was looking at Golden Age, not SA Marvels.

If he stopped by Chris' booth then he was stuck there for awhile...........Chris is a great guy but he loves to talk! ;)

Hes a goldenage collector.I believe he is[was] a Metro Client to. I think Steve told me he bought a Marvel # 1 way back. I believe his father was in the comicbook business in some way. I cant remember how.

 

His dad did an underground called Cocaine Comics or Cocaine Comix. Something with Cocaine in the title anyway.

There would have to be at least TWO people bidding high for the prices to skyrocket in an auction, though.. If he is involved in some way, who could be bidding against him? :think:

 

(hint: it's not me)

 

There are two. DiCaprio and the auction house.
