Has anyone heard of a show called Selling Superman? I'd never heard of it, but Jim Cornette discusses it here. (Language Warning) I hadn't heard of it, but apparently, it's about this guy who collected 300,000 comics - including some rare Golden and Silver Age books - but hid the extent of his collection from his family, so that it was only when the old man died that his son realized what he had. The show covers the son's efforts to sell off parts of the collection. I was just wondering whether any of you knew anything about it.

First I've heard of it, but I'll be looking for it now.
Interesting.
Here's the official trailer:
I showed this to Tracy and told her it's a four-part documentary.
She said (and I quote), "Oh."
That sounds like her.
I've started it. It's already clear that it's going to be padded.
It contains some interesting and insightful material... stretched.... over.... four... hours. This would have worked better as a 1.5-2 hour doc. I'm just going to bounce this off the ceiling and say that Tracy's reaction was prescient.
