This isn’t about honoring a creator. This is about greed, and preying on people who are foolish enough to spend the money.In microcosm, this represents what has gone wrong with comics, mutating from YA entertainment product to an industry driven by speculators. --------------------------------------- John: I can see your point about greed and speculation. CGC graded comics are like the stock market too...they come out with a 9.9 or a 10 grade and ebay explodes. Six months later, they're worth half, or less. But as with anything speculative...you pays your $$$ and you takes your chances. With that said...I would still pay a couple hundred for a limited edition John Bryne comic. Not for speculation, but to just have it for my collection (along with Doom Patrol, Space 1999, Rog-2000, Iron Fist, X-Men, FF, She Hulk, etc.). Hmmm....idea...gears turning...what do you charge for a commission?? It would immediately be put under glass and go on my office wall. Directly across from my Navy wall (ships I served on, Academy Diploma, etc.). Hell...TBO, I'm humbled and honored that you even respond to my posts.
