Collector's Call

Fortunately, for me, it was a shallow hole. 

That hole is called a Lagoon in your case Mike.

As per tonight's episode, as optimistic as I might be about the worth of my own collection, I find it very hard to believe that built up versions of the Aurora monsters would be worth $1,500 apiece; even first editions with the best of paint jobs. Especially, since the later Aurora reissues all still have the original 1960's copyright date, and they have been re-released about a zillion times since then! But, hey, if someone is willing to pay that...

...I find it very hard to believe that built up versions of the Aurora monsters would be worth $1,500 apiece; even first editions with the best of paint jobs.

All I can say is that I wouldn't pay even 10% of that price.

Well, last night's show certainly did not disappoint. 'Lots of thrills, chills,
and laughs throughout the episode which I believe was this season's finale.



There were plenty of great shots of a most amazing mask collection,
some of which I posted in our Masks/Busts Forum yesterday >



They even touched on Rudy's other obsessions, like pinball machines and full-sized standing figures >

 

We also got a quick glimpse of his vintage joke shop re-creation >



These were the items appraised. Let me know if you have trouble reading the valuations >











Also appraised were two "Heavy Metal" masks: a production copy by Distortions
Unlimited and a Fantasy Faces master casting from 1981 >



The one at right was originally mine years ago >



Appraiser Mark Short valued the entire collection at half a mil. High, low, what do you think?



Mr Short offered a DPS Myers master in trade for a Distortions "ET" prototype
but the offer was declined. As he sagely observed: we're all winners in the end >



I loved the closing shot wherein Lisa and Rudy become masks in his own collection and exchange banter back and forth >



'A fun episode, my new favorite; thanks, Weigel Production Corp!
