 if someone removed the three staples from Detective #27 and tried to sell them to me I'd be completely bewildered as to why I'd want them.

To replace the rusty staples in your existing copy of Detective 27

This thread is so November!

But, I guess Barnum was right, with bidding up to $205 with 7+ days to go!

So here are my thoughts on this... and a free Christmas idea for people that have the time on their hands for this.  If you choose to do this then send me a bottle or a small check as a thank you.  Maybe it is because I remember the nut jobs on home shopping network hawking baseball cards but here we go. 

If the provenance is real then this is what you do:

 

You take a flake and have it encapsulated in a card.  Approach Funko, Topps, Upper Deck... whoever.

You sell a gift set:

• Card featuring Superman with an Action 1 background and the window with the flake of the comic in it. 
• Funko Pop Limited Edition of Superman
• Reprint of Action Comics #1
• Certificate 
• Replica in plastic of the $10,000 Superman Decoder Ring
• Slip Case Book that has a litho print of Action 1 on the cover.  It slides off the box if you want to frame it.  The case is big enough to hold the comic, ring, funko and the card.
• Numbered collectable of say 50 units?  100 Units?

Price it out at whatever it takes to make a profit.

Boom.

Money.

Does this c-r-a-p actually sell? Is that a waffle off of a Denny’s plate he ate at? I wouldn’t even want it for free with free shipping.

I get cards, but they are boring. It’s 1 picture to look at. At least a comic has a story with tons of pictures.

That's why it would be a pack.  I mean let's be real for a second.  People actually bought the dirt from the old Yankee Stadium.

i have it on good authority that this is a definition of  an attempt to create a market, and we should wait and visit this next year.
