Comics’ Stinkiness Now A Selling Point

This missive from the inexplicably daffy world of high-end comics collecting is full of Wimbledon Greenisms, including the thought that these comics are great partly because they still smell like the cedar room in which they were once stored.

There seems to be a lot of activity in this part of the comics market recently, with Chuck Rozanski buying a new collection at auction and the seven-figure Crippen Family collection going for sale. Other than that, I have very little to offer in terms of analysis. Anything beyond putting one's comics into plastic bags so the cat quits knocking over sodas on them is foreign to me, and I'm suspicious about any comic published after 1980 going for more than twice cover price, but I still like reading these articles.
