Rip Hunter's Time Sphere and Bruce Wayne's Wealth

General Discussion Collector's Corner

If you had the above, what collectibles would you go back in time for and stock up on?

A few things on my first Timey Wimey go around:

-travel to assorted years and pick up key comics from various DC titles that sell for alot of money today. A few dozen perfect, mint condition copies of Action Comics #1 would be a nice starting point. I would keep one or two of each book and sell the duplicates at auctions.
-I’d buy a few of the 1939 Ideal Superman toy (an action figure before the term was officially coined by Hasbro in 1964). Keep one for myself and sell the others.
-pick up several cases of the Kenner Star Wars figures (not DC obviously but I wouldn’t be able to resist the chance)
-attend the first showing of Superman: The Movie at the best theater I could find (a break from shopping :slight_smile: )
-fill up a few shopping carts with cases of Kenner Super Powers product (figures, vehicles and the Hall of Justice playset). Keep one set of everything in the line to open, and a few sets to sell over time.

Its a definite dream scenario, but a fun one. What would you do with Mr. Hunter’s tech and Mr. Wayne’s cash?

Collection-wise, I’d use it to get signatures from writers and artists who are no longer with us.

I would totally do some of what both of you have stated.

  1. I would travel and pick up some key issues when they first came out through time as well.
  2. I too would pick up at least one or two full sets of the first 12 Star Wars figures released.
  3. I would go to cons from years ago and try to pick up some original art pages from older issues.
  4. At the cons, I would take time to thank creators I never got to, who passed away before I attended cons.
  5. I like the idea of shopping for Super Powers toys too, great idea.
  6. I would open up a comics book store and with Bruce Wayne wealth fund it until I came back to the present to still have it LOL.
