Much more than I could afford. It will be interesting to see if the current financial situation affects thw price. I would imagine that the collection will be bought as an investment, and any fan will be outbidden.  And then it will go into storage. Be nice if it went to a Museum, as a collection. The Actor Nicholas Cage had a similar collection at one time [He wanted to play Superman, believe it or not!]. I once had.a collection that included almost a complete 30 year set of Marvel comics. 1960- 1990. 1 had to sell in a hurry, awareness of comics was still low here in OZ and I didn't get anything like its actual value then.  :'(  Easy come, easy go.
