I apologize if this was already posted.  Neither the eighty page giant Batman 5 nor Avengers 68 are rare.

“trafficked in online forums”. Lol. The copies that were “trafficked” aka sold on the online forums are subject to forfeiture by the buyer as stolen property.

Off with his hands.

Is this like the Kentucky Pappy theft?

Pretty sure that guy's posts are still in a lot of Facebook comic groups if you search his name, assuming there's not more than one person who lives in Florida and collects high end comics with that name lol.

Too easy to follow the bread crumbs.

Sadly, just one more reason not to donate your collection to a library or museum…

His solutions were indeed 'outside of the box'... for all the good stuff, that is.

That's what I first thought when I saw you say "hands."  But kind of too extreme.  Then considered the appropriateness of 'eye plucking' since his motive might have been to read the stolen loot, still in the spirit of old timey punishments.  And then I looked for the list of stolen comic books, but they only listed a few (same titles as the pic showed, in an earlier article) and it struck me a lot of the 5000 comics are probably drek.

Most def some not-drek stuff there to be sure.  Pretty solid bronze collection, lotsa great mags too.

The ASM and Hulk runs are worth the heist.  If it weren't for those meddling kids he would have gotten away with it.
