I know I have a few in my past. It doesn't change the fact that it's a very cool book. Now, picture please? Or it didn't happen! Sometimes even “questionable” prices paid can pay off in the long run. I’ve always believed if you overpay for quality you at least improve your odds at recapturing your investment at some point. There’s a Creepy #15 up on eBay right now with a asking price of $7500.00. Not up on Frazetta sigs pricing but I’d imagine they get a healthy increase every year since no chance of more being made and Frazetta prices on books I believe still have a lot of upside...

oakman29 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I wouldnt worry too much. It's a cool book, highest graded #1 with a Frazetta signature. How can you NOT love that. Or you could sell your Porsche.... The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every time someone makes a post to this thread, I go read it, then end up reading the whole thread again. So it just seems like it......

But I wish I was impulsive and mistake prone when the Frazetta Thun'da Okajima was initially offered for circa 3k (since nearly tripled in a very short order).

It is white, but not sure it's a whale, unless you are referring to how fast it is. Physically, it is heavy, but not exactly whalish in size. Does it look like Moby D*ck? I don't think so.

Would probably take a decent Action #1 to acquire a Bugatti Veyron. An oil change for this car averages $20,000.
