It really doesn't make sense to read a 9.0 condition key comic like this. If you really wanted to read it, you would be better off buying a second reading copy in terrible condition.
The cost of the reading copy would end up being less than the negative impact to the condition (and therefore value) of your mint copy from reading it a single time.

- ileonichwiesz 11mo agoIn that episode a bored Mr. Burns hires Homer as his „prank monkey”, paying him with loose cash to play cruel pranks on others and humiliate himself. Homer eventually regains his dignity after refusing to ruin the Thanksgiving day parade, even for a million dollars.
- stavros 11mo agoAhh thank you.
- Jach 11mo agoI was thinking of the "perma-mint condition" issue of Radioactive Man. Spilled drinks fly off harmlessly onto lesser comics: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mqe21Up4Vmo&t=14s https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mqe21Up4Vmo&t=14s
- latexr 11mo agoFunny that the fictitious comic is spilling into a “lesser” real comic by Matt Groening (creator of the Simpsons).
- acomjean 11mo agoI thought you were going to share the one where Bart Martin and Milhouse team up to buy a rare “radioactive man”. It goes badly https://youtu.be/zw220bx88WA?si=vArVS22Oac02uNK5 https://youtu.be/zw220bx88WA?si=vArVS22Oac02uNK5 I’d forgotten about prank monkey Homer.
- BubbleRings 11mo agoWhat a wild concept in this case: With a little effort and research someone could come up with a reasonable estimate that read something like, “a typical 15-year-old reading through this comic once in a typical way would have cost the family X dollars”, and X might literally be $100k. Certainly well over $10k.
