Jeez. My wife is still upset over me purchasing a Near Mint one sheet from THE DEVIL COMMANDS for 3K.
Perhaps I can ameliorate this marital misstep by showing her this...

PS-By the way, THE DEVIL COMMANDS one sheet was the very last poster I sold when i ran out of money in the mid 1980s. It was purchased for 100 bucks....that was a lot back then (I bought it for $5.00 in 1965 from Malcolm Willits in Hollywood.) I've waited 30 years to have it back on my wall. There it hangs, right next to the one sheet for NIGHT ALARM. Love 'em both!

Subject: [MOPO] 1.56 Million
An unopened copy of Nintendo’s Super Mario 64 has sold at auction for $1.56 million.
Heritage Auctions in Dallas said that the 1996 game sold Sunday, breaking its previous record price for the sale of a single video game. Two days prior, The Legend of Zelda sold for 870,000.
Now that I have been working for an auction house for 8 years, I always admire collectors and the diversity it can represent: Historic letters by the founding fathers, rare first edition books, Coca-Cola, baseball cards, NASA ephemera, photography, Hollywood... all a reflection of America (and also the worlds) past. So much a reflection of the times, footnotes that reflect most of the time, genius, artistry……greatness. And these collectors are actually curators of history keeping their possessions with great care to pass onto another generation who with education and passion will continue carrying the baton of who we were, how far we’ve come and the importance these artifacts represent
But !@!!$@$%!! **!^#&^ video games? Dammit, I got old fast.
Curmudgeonly yours,
Freeman Fisher
