Batman Comic Sells for Over a Million Bucks

[Soxafloppin]

I absolutely love Batman, but seriously?

Imagine the things a million dollars can buy? ALLOT, and he spent it on a comic book?

 

[Desert Tiger]

There is a saying.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Because buying the fucking first appearance of BATMAN is totally foolish right guys?

God you people make me sick sometimes. NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME AS YOU, AND NOT ALL OF THEM ARE COMPLETE MORONS.

Wow, that is a lot of dates that never happened.

Or, y'know, he happens to have a pretty successful business going. Or is Bill Gates no longer married nerd billionaire (with a damn hot wife I might add)?

I see it as "one million dollars being spent on several sheets of paper that could have been better spent elsewhere". A million bucks to charity would have had a better effect, no?

Oh great, we've got an "ALL MONEY MUST GO TO CHARITY" guy on the forums. Argument over, can't argue with someone that has no valid point.

Hm. Did I say "all money must go to charity"? Let me re-read a second.

Nope.

I said I'd rather it was spent on charity than on several sheets of paper. But I can see how berating pretty much everyone you've come across in the topic means you have more right to your opinion than me, I apologise.

I know it's Batman and all, but really? A million bucks?

That confuses me to no end.

Yeah, just wait until two years later when he resells it for two million.

Then who'll look the fool?

Well, the guy who bought it for 2 million probably, unless he resells it as well.

On one had, I fully support the rigt of every individual to have whatever hobby they want, as long as it's not illegal and isn't hurting anyone, but then again, over one million bucks on a comic? I don't know... If I were a collector, I'd rather buy a few thousand other comics than spend it all on this one single.

But at the end of the day, it's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it...

which obviously means the guy has enough cash not to give a damn what he spents a million bucks for. If you are shit rich i rly dont think price will be a factor for you in buying stuff.
For us a mil bucks is "OMFG" but for some ppl its.....pocket money.....

 

[AvsJoe]

I can't fathom spending that much money on... well... anything like that. But the guy had money and wanted an antique comic so good on him for getting it.

 

[Jory]

Yeah a million bucks could buy something else incredible. But a man with that much money probably already has everything he could have possibly bought. I'm pretty sure we're not talking about a man spending every penny he has.

For all we know he could be a huge giver to charity

 

[Johnnyallstar]

Wow, that is a lot of dates that never happened. I did spit out a bit of coffee comparing the orginal price to what it sold for..... also, I smell cheesy 60's robin quotes coming.

Just for you. 10 cents to 1 million dollars? Holy inflation Batman!

No but you just proved that you are. 1 mill for a book? I am sure that you would have also be stupid enough to also gotten it. Yep.

 

[elvor0]

It is alot, but if you can afford to spend that much money on a comic, you likely have so much money that you can throw about as much as you want without ever having to worry about what/how much you're spending it on.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

holy overpriced comic Batman!

that is to much to be paying for a comic book that may or may not be the actual thing, although it is the goddamn batman, so it is totally worth it.

 

[EnzoHonda]

So if I had invested 10 cents on a comic in 1939, I could have a million bucks? That's a sound investment.

I probably would spend 1 million on the original manuscript of Don Quixote de la Mancha...

 

[Flying-Emu]

I guess people aren't allowed to enjoy hobbies that aren't the same as yours now, too. And come ON. First. Appearance. Of. Batman. How is that NOT worth over a million?

Because Aquaman is so much cooler.

This is really no different than spending an umpteen million dollars for an original Van Gogh, or Picasso, Dali. I'd say Batman has more cultural significance than any famous work of art.

EDIT: And yes, anyone who thinks differently than me is an idiot. Thats what it means to be anonymous on the internet.

You're not anonymous! You're matrix3509!

OT: I'm inclined to agree with you there, in terms of modren culture, at least. Even when/if superheroes die out, they will still be remembered to some like the Beatles are to music, and Batman is amongst the forefront of iconic superheroes. That comic is going to sell for a crapload more than a million bucks ten years from now...
