Statues look nice. This looks like a 2nd grade craft project.

For serious. What an embarrassing POS!!

Can't be any worse than Upper Deck cutting up comics to make trading cards.

OK so it hit 90 degrees in my apartment, and I had to put the AC in.

They cut up early SA Comics?

 

And we think ComicKeys is a bad guy for doing that right?

Some statues look nice

 

I did see a solid gold statue once. At the time it was being hyped in art mags for it's tour, I can't find a thing on it today. It was a set of three Virgin Mary statues taken from a mold of some Renaissance marble statue, forgot who the original sculptor was, but it was one of the famous ones. The gold, silver, and copper molds looked excellent though. I wish I could find a picture, the folds in the fabric were awesome.

I didn't find a gold one, but I found this pretty cool virgin mary statue. Not sure if it's famous or not...

Does anyone else get the sense that someone wanted to get himself some free publicity by making absurd valuations?

Here's another news story about the same dealer, and also involving Avengers 1 . Must be a very common HG book, down in Sheffield.

"only a dozen left in the world" - does that have ANY basis in reality?

What do you have against 2nd Graders?

 

That looks like preschool at best.

Personally, I would send the statue into CGC to get slabbed and graded.

I'd rather spend £20k on some plane tickets across the ocean to go to this guys house and punch him in the neck.
