Speculation on comic books is running rampant again. Batman/Fortnite #1 is $25 on eBay (but it's mostly DC's fault, as usual).

Yep. The prices on graded stuff are crazy.

Anyone else want to join in and pool some money together. I'm sure we'll be able to at least bud on something right?

For a comic book article, too many words...

tl;dr:

Over 5,000 comic books from the 1940s and 50s are being auctioned off. They are all high-grade (mid-to-upper 9s out of 10), all owned by the same person. That collection is worth a fortune and some serious cheddar is going to be exchanged.

I'd contribute $10k. I wouldn't ask for much. Just the Captain America's.

Probably going to need a lot more than that...

I'm aware. I'd love to have some of the 40's stuff. Timely Comics' Captain America #3 May 1941 is my grail. First Stan Lee credit, along with Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.

So it's a time capsule of almost perfectly preserved (for the time) comics? Yeah, that's gonna fetch some big bucks. Really big ones. Should be fun to see how much people with ridiculous amounts of money spend on them.

Yeah. I don't see how any of those books in that catalog go for less than six figures.

Man, I would kill for that Riddler first appearance.

DC is going to protect the Trinity at all costs, especially Batman. Just look at the reaction from the higher-ups when they found out about Bat-wang in Batman: Damned #1.

Part 3 of the trilogy comes out in a few months.

It's a decent series.
