Errr, I don't suppose it's worth mentioning this, but Mr. Parrino never actually made a single direct reference to this Forum in his solitary post.

 

Ah well, it's great news to hear that he'll be making serious inroads into the Silver Age market. Great news indeed.

$175,000 for an Amazing Spiderman 1?? It is a 9.6 but give me a break. Take the one off of the beginning of the book. Tops the book is worth maybe $85,00 too the serious collector who just has too have it. Im in the area of around $50,000 to $65,000 tops..... AF 15 would be a different story, that could possibly have a very weak shot at $175,00.00 More like $125,000 to 135,000 $150,000 if the buyers got out of hand.......

The thing I found most amusing is that people actually thought JP could provide some interesting insights into this hobby.

 

HE DOESN`T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT COMIC COLLECTING!!!

 

It is purely an investment business to him, one that piqued his interest when third-party certification became prevalent because he saw an undervalued asset that he could exploit. He doesn`t love comics, probably never read them and doesn`t know anything about their history. Everything he knows about comic collecting he knows from Bill Hughes. Having said this, I am not a JP hater. I give him credit for spotting a good business opportunity, and I happened to agree with him when he jumped into the business that third-party certification opened up a whole new world for comic collecting and that comics were relatively undervalued. The lack of depth in the hobby, and the undercapitalization of many of the major dealers, was very clearly illustrated by the ease with which he could come in and so easily become a major player. It`s also good to get some outside blood in periodically to provide some fresh perspectives and diversify our very incestuous gene pool. Finally, I give him credit for finding good people to work for him and educate him on the hobby, such as Bill.

 

But in my opinion he would add absolutely nothing to anyone`s knowledge of comic collecting, except perhaps some parallels on the impact of certification in coin collecting.

It's the "Comic World celebrity" effect* again. People here see these guys and they geek out... and then you have four pages (and counting) of comic dorks falling all over themselves to welcome a cut-and-paste poster to the board.

 

 

*See also the well-documented "Borock Effect" for further study in the response of comic collectors to perceieved "celebrities".
