A $52,000 Copy Of Ironman #32 Taken In Robbery??

Obviously ToS 39. The person who spoke to the reporter about the comic was probably not the collector, just someone who lived there who knew there was a $50K Iron Man comic that was significant because it was number thirty-something. Or they work at Metropolis.

Maybe the owner is Blackstarcomics!

I have seven Iron Man 32s for some reason. I'll let them all go for five grand.

$52K?

 

This incident is not a robbery, this would be a burglary. A robbery is face to face.

 

That shoplifting story is hilarious.

I might be interested in these if it includes free shipping.

If a person was home at the time it was a robbery.

 

Meanwhile how come no one is blaming the reporter?

 

"$50,000 worth of comics? Geez that's a lotta Spiderman."

"Iron Man, you say? Really...? Uh huh."

"Oh, I see. Tales of what again? Uh huh."

"9.2? What do you mean? That's a funny issue number. No no. I get it."

"Well thank you for the story. I'll be sure to report this."

 

And later when the deadline approaches and the scotch kicks in, the notes kind of blur together and "the origin of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense #39 in CGC 9.2" becomes "Iron Man #32."

According to the story, it was the deputy who identified the comic. I'm guessing there was a mixup with the title of the book, as oppossed to an attempt at insurance fraud.

Very possible! Especially if they were not using a voice recorder to record the answers and someone else had to write the story from short hand notes.

My first thought is that it is a scam. Most home insurance policies, from what I understand from being a member here, does not cover collectables.

Yeah - there is usually a low cap on collectibles - like 2-10K max.

I really do hope that is the case.

I'm guessing the deputy knows comic values just like he knows the law
