Saw this over on cgc boards and thought that it was kinda amazing.

Look at this guys buys from the last month...he is on a quest...I am looking at 3 bedroom houses in atlanta that cost less than this spending spree...

Of course a huge chunk of it is the ASM 1 9.6 but even the rest of the books total to a decent bit of coin...

A comic fan who probably won the lottery... I imagine the rest of us would go on a little comic book buying spree if we were in the same position. I don't even have a spouse to reel me in! I just won't tell my girlfriends...

NOw he just picked up a 9.8 ASM 129...for $9k...jeez no only is he buying everything but he is paying crazy money to get it...I think that this 9.8 ASM 129 went for more than the first 9.8 that surfaced....that does not make much sense to me...I would think that the more that come out the less people would spend on one....yeah he must have won the lottery...or I think that someone over on the cgc boards knows who this and sold a rather pricey collection recently...eitherway this guy is BIG PIMPIN'

It must be nice to have that much money to *SQUEE* away. I'm just hoping I can afford a nice copy of Miracleman #15 at a show coming up. I only need 4 more issues for the set...Anyone out there collect Miracleman?

Ahh, Miracleman. I ended up buying almost 2 complete runs of it over the past 6 months; only one issue each of 15,16,23,24 though...good series and very hard to find in NM+ or better condition. I have thought about getting the #15 graded as it would most likely receive a 9.8 or better, an absolute FLAWLESS copy. I believe the last one sold in 9.8 went for over $600....I'll have to wait to have it graded until the Con hits Chicago though as CGC's turnaround time is FAAAAAAR BEHIND.

Heh. That's what I say about people who pay $100 for anything. It's all a matter of perspective, no?

BoH

Yup.

I've been buying MM quietly since about 1991...and ya know...I NEVER found a #15 for cheap...found the rest.

I'm a huge Miracleman fan. I have MM #15 CGC 9.6, & I just sent off two more copies to CGC.

Neil Gaiman recently announced that he has won the rights to this series & is in the process of re-starting it. Can't wait!!!!
