another sucker believing the hype

so many people greatly believe these paintings are easily sellable.

soo wrong.

the story of the private collector willing to pay big bucks for a painting to keep in a vault and never show to anyone is such great wish fullfilment.

workable.

but I have serious doubts there are many mega rich people willing to shell out money for stolen art.
a dozen action#1 comics in mint condition -yes of course.

but publicly documented works of art. unlikely

a dozen mint action#1 is value to be 18 mil. now
shame they don`t exist.
