[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 720326, member: 57463"][b]... what the market will bear ...[/b] At an ANA convention in a dealer's junk box for $10, it would be sold within an hour or less. At $100, the dealer would bring it back home. The photograph might not do it justice. It looks scuzzy. Twenty dollars maybe? I mean, I don't want it for that. Commodus only has visibility today because of the movie [I]Gladiator[/I]. So, if you saw the movie and want a piece of the Roman Empire, ok... I thought at first that it was his father, a young Marcus Aurelius. I'd go $20 for the Philosopher Warrior Emperor played by Sir Alex Guiness of Obi Wan Kinobi fame, but for Commodus, even at $20 or $10, I'd pass... Sorry, not for me...
