So what do people do with a million dollar comic, as far as storing it goes???

[Lethal_Collector]

I was talking with a co-worker about this today when discussing the current AC #1 on Comic Connect. The question came up, what do the rich people do with their uber valuable, 100K plus books after they buy them?

 

Do they keep them in a safe deposit box? Do they display them in a fort knox display room? Let it be displayed in a museum somewhere and collect the insurance should anything happen to it? How would you store a million dollar comic?

 

Thoughts, ideas, option, opinions?

I'd probably go the museum route personally.

 

I'd be scared to even hold a Milllion + comic even in the slab HAHA

I would guess that if you own a comic that is that expensive, it would represent less than 10% of your net worth (typically). Therefore, storing it in a safe at your home is as legit as keeping very expensive jewelery, etc. But obviously many people store expensive books at safe deposit boxes. Just depends on the person.

 

Personally, I would keep it close so I could admire and enjoy it from time to time, late at night, whenever I felt like it. And I wouldn't advertise that I keep it at home...

Opinions will differ, but to me there's not much point of owning a million dollar comic unless you can look at it regularly and reflect upon how freaking awesome it is that you own a million dollar comic.

 

So I'd say the fort knox comic room would be the way to go. And then inside a nice display case, of some kind, probably.

I'll let you know when I win it.

Cracked out, dropped in a mylar, and stored in a short box with the others.

I would keep it a secret from most people though.

Hang it on the wall in a prominent position.

 

Have lots of parties and hope it doesn't get stolen.

No such thing as a million dollar comic book,

only a comic book that someone paid one million dollars for.

As far as storage, I'd probably keep it in a fire-proof safe and insure it, but the best answer to the ultimate question of what to do with a million dollar comic book...

 

Flip it next year for TWO million! (thumbs u

I would buy an old walk in bank vault and have it installed at my home. Gee if your going to spend $1M+ on a comic book then why walk all the way to the bank safety deposit box to admire your treasure.

[cheetah]

I was uncomfortable enough with my Avengers 1 that I didn't want to hang onto it and sold it. Just too many resources tied up in a single book for me to have it hanging around.

[innocuous]

Didn't Nick Cage keep his hanging up in a frame on the wall? Displayed for all to see. It's no different than spending a million on a piece of art and hanging it on the wall.

 

Personally, I would crack it out and put it on the coffee table for guests to flip through.

I am pretty sure that is what he meant. Cool of you to split hairs though to try and sound smart (thumbs u

If you;re buying a million $ comic, money isn't an issue. It will be in the house.

Well, it's quite obvious that Nicholas Cage took your advice to the letter.
