02/20/2014 Prompt: Consequences

“Mart, did you really pay over $350.00 for that comic book?” Dan asked?


Mart replied, “You bet I did.  Why, in 1948 when it was published, it sold for 10 cents.  You gotta figure, if it is worth over $350.00 after 64 years,  think what it will be worth in another 26 on its hundredth anniversary. Heck, with everything going digital, it might be worth at least a thousand dollars then for the paper alone!


Dan huffed! “All your word power aside, you are really stupid. You know that, right?  

Heck.  Superman has died and been brought back to life and all other sort of really neat adventures.  Just who do you think is going to care that a Superman comic ever had him on that old game show, Truth or Consequences.

You could have made a pretty good down payment on a car for what you spent on that comic.  But I guess you are just going to have to suffer the consequences.
