Consign it to Heritage, then. You just printed your way to a million dollars!

Spectacular stat acquisition!  If you get more, you should do a CAF Live to spread the word on how they're up next.

What a Stat...us symbol right there!

1 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Is yours for sale per chance?

I'd like to own ALL STATS of the same image !!!

(I mean, they're published, right?)

1 - Posted on 10/27/2023

But wait, is this an original stat?  Looks like a recreation to me

Posted on 10/27/2023

It's a mechanical recreation of the stat that is a mechanical recreation of the original art.    

2 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Look, how can I be sure this is really a stat of a stat of the original if you didn't have a CGC witness you doing it.  It's not even slabbed

2 - Posted on 10/27/2023

You would want to be slabbed...sorry, slapped on the head with concussive force to start down this nightmarish road of what is worth and what is worthless. I spent 450 euro recently to get a small piece of cardboard that was given away as a free gift in a 1977 comic. I am sure Marcus' stat cost considerably less to produce. Just have to hold onto it and maybe a fellow maniac down the road might stump up considerable cash to get it in their collection.  A provenance letter and signed  certification of autenticity might help. People really love those worthless pieces of paper. I mean, this site is all about pieces of paper that few people care about. lol.

You're the best Marcus, this is so hilarious!! Great journalism in outing these confusing pieces.

3 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Of course there are people who collect original stats (people collect everything), but I'm inclined to believe that they're not willing to pay them as they were original art 😅

2 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Stat's all folks...

1 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Does the stat come with cake?

2 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Serious Statitude there! Just like the modern day Artist Proofs, all worthless in my eyes 😑

2 - Posted on 10/27/2023

But those artists proofs come in a very slightly different size than a normal copy...Lol.

1 - Posted on 10/27/2023

I'm not saying they are worthless, but putting them into the second round of a show of comic art sales does no service to any new collector who will get confused without as much knowledge of the hobby.  It throws all the rest of the rounds' offerings into question.   Even Heritage has the decency to put it in the back of the catalogue.  Bill has to bend to Anthony, but it doesn't mean we should go along with the show when they have a low opinion of the audience by bringing out offerings of photostats, prints, and postage.

2 - Posted on 10/27/2023

Yeah that's true, it's definitely hard to navigate especially being new to the hobby! It's a weird balance of the buyer doing their due diligence obviously with any big purchase and the dealers not being complete shitheads. But when they make it in the format where it's rush to claim people may make a rash decision when they think they see something that it really isn't.  And of course you didn't say they were worthless.... but I definitely did! lol
