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."
