In 2009, original comic book art dealer Mike “Romitaman” Burkey offered this page to me for only $35,000. It’s the cover to Tales of Suspense #93, the first issue of that title I bought as a kid.

The timing for such an expensive investment wasn’t good, however, as I would soon be facing college expenses. So, I had to decline the offer.
What is the piece worth today? I said “only” $35,000, because on May 8 it sold on Heritage Auctions for $90,625.
