Hey, Glenn -
You could always build a cabin in the woods with all the little wood
blocks!

I read that same thing about the 75K. And in truth, as I get older
all I want is a roof over my head, my bills paid and perhaps go to a
nice restaurant once in a while. Otherwise, feh, who cares!

Thanks for posting, unique find.
The woman says her rich friends aren’t particularly happy.
I did read a study that claimed that “money happiness” maxes out
at $75K a year. You can live comfortably and have some discretionary
spending as well at that level....

Yeah 10 million for 60,000 pieces id an average of
$166 a block. I don't think thats remotely realistic. I don't think
its worth more than $100,000
still a good deal for a $2000 buy in

Has anyone heard about this?
In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a
massive collection of letterpress blocks and plates that were used
to make advertisements for movies in newspapers. They bought the
whole shebang for $2000 and have spent the last 17 years cataloging
and cleaning the 60,000 plates & blocks. The collection, which spans
nearly the entire history of the film industry from the silent era
to 1984, was recently appraised at ~$10 million and is available for
acquisition.
