Impossible Collection? Seriously...

[G.A.tor]

I've seen better stock at Gator's booth!

 

 

(Rick I expect 10% off at Heroes for this shameless plug!)

 

 

Took you long enough to wonder in here. What's the matter, G.A.tor signal broken?

Had a Bball game tonight.

No need, I can quickly summarize for you:

How'd you shoot?

6-8 first half. 2-9 second half, missed my last 5. We lost because I went cold (got a little tired, left shots short)

Nice books but collecting comics would be boring if there is no challenge/risk/reward and as a billionaire I'd rather collect supermodels.

 

With billions in the bank I'm pretty sure the models just show up.

 

...and with this comic collection they leave quickly.

In the same theme what does Bill Gates collect?

Silly boy, don't you know that billionaires don't collect comics?

 

Oh, uh, er, wait, it's foreign billionaires that don't collect comics.

 

What, oh, uh, never mind.

I wonder what his comic room at home looks like?

 

Room, , now that I think about it his comics probably have their own house.

[budsbundy]

I'm surprised he put them on world tour.

 

Lets take the most valuable examples of many books, and ship them all around the world rattling and shaking in their cases in the back of countless flights and trucks, while passing through the hands of who knows how many workers.

 

What could possibly go wrong with that?

This thread is gold. It really is. And now it's Friday!

Very cool that this collector wants to share this in a travelling exhibit rather than sit in the dark surrounded by his treasures. The rows of custom high tech uv protected display cases I would guess run 100k by themselves. As you can see from the dozens of images, there are excited crowds checking out the books, so its not like it is a t-rex poop where people just rush by.

 

If this isnt the best collection on the planet, it is certainly up there as one of the best, with anything better being shrouded in mystery and locked away from peasant eyes.
