Just stuff that chit in there like they did in the old days. Efficiency is for losers
Brings to mind a story of a guy gutting his house, built in the 40s/50s or something like that. Found an issue of Action Comics #1 (1st ever appearance of Superman iffn ya didn't know). It was missing a cover and some of the pages were torn, but he still got over $300k for it |

Did he pay off his mortgage, current car loans, credit card balances and start a 401K ???
Or
Did he buy 10 Cadillac and give them all away? |

Did some digging. Happened in '13. Dude was 35yrs old. The issue actually sold for $175k at auction, so I was a little off. However, reportedly the wife's aunt got a little grabby upon discovery, causing a tear that experts estimate devalued the book by $75k
Dude planned to pay off the house, pay off his truck pay off the wife's education, upgrade his tools, and possibly look into buying a 1992 Iroc Z
For reference, a much better condition copy sold for $3.4m in '22
For tangential personal sorrow, a 9.6 graded condition of X-Men #1 sold in '22 for $807k. This is one of the books keeping me from a complete X-men collection |
