I don't know why anyone would want to touch it anyway. Well, that says a lot of things about some collectors. It seems very strange to me that you pay a million bucks just to take possession of it but you would never actually look at the contents. I collect some first edition books and it would be ludicrous (to me) to think of slabbing those. Part of the enjoyment and appreciation of owning something like that is that you can actually read the entire book.

So, you pay 1 million bucks for a comic but you cant even look at the inside pages - you only get to look at the front and back covers. That really seems quite bizarre.
