Maybe if I could sell it for $750 USD million next year.

That picture is a bit creepy, with the crystal orb and all. Maybe it's the oily long hair, or that he looks stoned. Dan |

Yes, If Leo himself would teach me to paint, and my Weber printing press was up and running. |

No – but I also wouldn't pay $450 USD Million for an authentic Leonardo, or any other painting for that matter. |

That article is so full of over-politicized polemics and half-truths (or flat out lies), not to mention a fundamental inability of the people involved to understand basic economics, that one wonders if the statements regarding art are made with any better foundation. Therefore, one should hesitate to give it any credence as to any assertion made that the piece is fake or not. When someone's babbling nonsense about one thing, it's safer to assume they're babbling nonsense about something else, too. But, having said all that, no, the prices for art pieces are absurd. Still, if one wants to separate a fool from his money, selling him art (that he probably has no clue how to appreciate) is a great method. |

Very few people who buy art (I was about to say ALL but I think there are a couple exceptions other than museums that buy art for love of art) buy it as a status symbol. For such people paying (way) too much is the largest reason for purchasing art. |

Mickey Mantle rookie baseball card has no intrinsic value either. |

> Mickey Mantle rookie baseball card has no intrinsic value either. Nor any other baseball card. |

Nor most things, if you think about it. My father's default response to us kids expressing excitement about almost any new obsession was "What good are they? You can't eat 'em". |

Sorry, are you saying we can't eat Amazons? Nice pic Paul |
