the sadest thing ever that has happened to me is that my father had #1 captain america through #10 when he was younger, and had them ALL saved. but my grandma hid them and went to the grave with what she did with them.
i am guessing she just end up pawning them off, that is 1 thing i will never do is sell my collectables.

Dude! Hit me up on email or ICQ! The reason I can is because for 20 years I've worked in comics and animation. Nowadays every once in a while people still sell my stuff on Ebay. Just search 'greg boone comic books' or just 'greg boone'. Some days there's only 1 item, other days there may be 50 items. Sometimes the same item will sell for $1 and on other days they'll sell for $500. Fuckin' weird but cool!
So all those years working in comcs, animation, toys I got to know all the guys. I myself have turned into a sculpting fool! I can't stop! Too much fun! If you have the dough you can get a guy to sculpt you anything! No shortage of the guys around but we just started an exclusive sculpting group that took off like a rocket. For the high end stuff we pay one of the world top sculptors just a G or two and we ROLL! For the younger guys just a few hundred bucks. they're top, fast, awesome!
If you look at my earlier pics you'll see lots of the work they've done. Most are tied up doing all the Marvel, DC, Star Wars shit but they have time off now and then.
Heck, one guy did a popular sculpture of porn star Asia Carrera. You can see it at
www.electrictiki.com There are two versions of her. I wish he would do a Candy Samples one or a Bettie Page cause that shit would sell out so fast it would be stupid.
