i remember buying stock in marvel when they were on the verge of bankruptcy

because the archive of press proofs were undervalued on the books at the time.

i figuired the downside loss if the company went belly up would not be as bad as it was if they auctioned off all those mint condition copies of the key books.

sometimes i wish i had held them instead of cashing out at 20x their value.
