- Fun fact - books have sold for exorbitant sums based on the cover alone , going back to the golden age.
One would assume that any moderately seasoned comic book collector would know that.
Couple that with being extremely rare in the main ASM run and BOOM! goes dynamite.

- You're obviously speaking for yourself, since, evidently, "the comic book world" vehemently disagrees with your opinion, hence the prices that have consistently been realized on this book for over a decade now.

- If "only" 225 people in the world cared about the book I'm pretty sure it would still be selling for somewhere around cover price and not fifty grand.

- A little coocoo is ok, but to spend $35K on a modern is just plain crazy.
I remember seeing it on the new releases shelf, but didn't want to spend the $25 ratio variant price on it cause I didn't particularly like the cover, so I grabbed the regular cover.

p.s. you can use this actual conversation/debate whatever you want to call it as a generalization of the ratio for this argument...tho lets be honest itd be more in the realm of 95% would disagree with you...take care
Funny, given what the book actually does sell for, on the very rare occasion one does come up for sale , I would posit that you are, in fact, the one with the minority opinion.
Good day.
