How a comic book collection helped build a home renovation [in print as Vintage comics aid a modern renovation]


but all they say in the story is...
 
"As additional funding was needed, the decision was made to cash in the comics. Snotherly, 51, is a principal at Levi and Snotherly, a law firm based in D.C., and had been collecting comic books since he was 8 years old. He stopped in his 40s after amassing 4,000 titles. The collection had moved from his mother’s house, to his own, and then it began a final journey. “We rented a U-Haul and drove them to Heritage auction house in Dallas,” he says. “They sold them slowly over a few months so there was money coming in for a while.” Snotherly pegs the return as “a considerable amount” that financed more than a quarter of the renovation costs, which they did not disclose."
