His 68,000 comic books

 

I suspect there are many here who have more. Doesn't comicnut have something like 100k for sale in his thread?

Wonder what is most valuable comic is? Or if its all new stuff

[Comicopolis]

68,000 comic books can't be a record, surely?

The article say the value is over a million dollars, so there must be some good stuff in there.

Nice that he put the really expensive books in that glass case.

Seemed small to me too! Well not small... you know what I mean, in contrast to some collections here!

$ 1,000,000 / 68,000 = $ 14.71 each.

Marvel bronze picture frames in VF 8.0.

I have a feeling that the "$1.3 million" value is full guide value for every single book he owns

"A lot of collectors are now trying to get their comics signed.

 

"They get the comic and get it signed by an artist."

 

Not to be out done, Brett has a copy of a Silver Surfer comic signed by veteran comic book writer Stan Lee.

Personal collection vs. inventory are two different things.

 

He was likely the first to get in the Guinness for that particular record. He'll be dethroned quickly, methinks.

"There are other collections that have more comic books but I am told I have the largest private collection," inMyCommunity quoted him.

See, I was right.

[Iceman399]

I feel like 1.3 million is small value for a collection of that size. I totally agree most are taken at full guide/price tag for moderns.

[mschmidt]

For only $20k, you can be the new Guinness world record holder!
