Nope.

I would however buy the bat mobile for $400K =)

Seconded. It does make me want to go all archaeologist for profit through everyone's attics and stuff. I'm sure there's a few of these in places where noone knows nor cares what it is.

i wonder how many lives you could save with 400k dollars?...

 

[JohnnyLucky]

Not much different from other collectibles. Prices generally keep going up.

 

[vaughn2k]

If that would be Poison Ivy's Lingerie...

No idea why this was voted down, but I agree with the sentiment. $400,000 for a comic book is pretty damn wasteful.

I prefer Batman over Superman because all and all in the end, he's only human. A normal(ish) man trying to make the world a better place, one curb stomp at a time. =)

I would rather the first Batmobile George Barris made however (met the guy though, really cool. It was awesome, he came to a car show to Canada, and for the first time in his life he felt snow).

Oh hell no!

Did anyone look at the auction? In particular, the shots of the advertisement page. Look in the section about "Throwing Your Voice"... The Ventrilo... Lol!

gwolf: "Lots of fun fooling teacher, policeman, and friends." Sounds like a recipe for an early life in crime to me!! LOL

And right underneath, the Climbing Glove Monkey!

Awesome comment

I'd like to see the numbers compared with inflation adjustments.

That's one rich batman buff. People have so much money it's not even funny...

 

[cobra5000]

Ill bet the Batmobile goes for less than $400k, it isn't nearly as old. If i had that kind of money, hell yeah, i would buy it!

 

[sliem]

Batmobile... yea, that's nice but even if I had that money, I would spend it on something that would make more money.

Well depends on which one. The Tim Burton Batmobile was just a 78 Vette T-Top so it would not be more than $30K for good condition.
