what happened to buying high priced items for the publicity?
Todd McFarlane is know now for HIGH BIDDING on baseballs, even has a museum of them.
Recently I watched the videos of him bidding on the Mark McGuire baseball. Dont quote me, but over tyhe phone and after a very stressful bid war, it was in the range of 2.6 million???
After hen hung up the phone, he looked towards his manager team and said, "you better make this worth it" - and they PROMPTLY replied, "oh its gonna be worth it, very worth it"
next thing it flashed to was the HEADLINES all across the US and THE WORLD, that the ANONYMOUS BIDDER on the Mark McGuire ball was non other than Todd McFarlane, he wantesd to brand his SPAWN name and he is one of the BEST marketers out there now.
i like guys like that.
