I have been a big Randy Bowen bust collector from the beginning.
Over 100 Bowen Busts I own in a display case (and everywhere else in my house I can find)
I have owned exactly 1 of the Legend Promo busts from Bowen and have searched for years & years for a 2nd to purchase (thinking they’d run for anywhere from $40 - $60 - just my guessing).
This came up with a start at $250 which I scoffed at. No way was I paying that much. Then I noticed what it ended for
Suffice to say, that no 2nd one is in the plans anymore
Last Lincoln penny ever struck/minted up for auction. What’s it going to go for, including the 20% buyers premium?
I’m going to say $10million…just slightly north of the a Superman #1 in 9.0 (CGC). Coin collectors have more
Money/deeper pockets than comic collectors!!!
Just so everyone knows… 1943-D Lincoln Bronze Wheat Penny — $2.3 million was the most expensive penny ever sold at auction and there’s just one of them in the entire world, a true RARE and HTF type of item if you ask me…
But we do live in strange times I think where people might spend more on these… but we’ll see.
Overall not very impressed with this Jim Henson collection. The Uncle Traveling Matt puppet was obviously the highlight…how often do you see original fragile rock puppets come to market?
Sad to see so many of the Age of Resistance Dark Crystal
Puppets go to auction as it’s just a reminder that product has no plan to return to screen…
But the link is there if anyone cares to scroll though.
Tough to find ones without a subscription label. Those are the ones with real value. Given the paper and sticker quality on those and the age of the magazine they aren’t easily removable either.
That’d be still pretty hard to lay claim too if it came down to battling that out in a court. Anyone could just rip the sticker off and or black it out with a marker too. If all it took was a label, that would open up the floodgates on ownership on all kinds of things if it simply had your name on it. What’s your address? I’m gonna label your house with my name and claim ownership… There’s gonna be a new monthly rent that you owe me soon…
