ha ha! i wish i had come up with that idea. if they can manage to sell all those things, they are gonna make a good deal of money.

Hmm only $65.10... I would so buy it for that, the only problem is I already have my credit card maxed with my rent... that kinda sucks!! Hopefuly it doesn't get to the next hundred before i pay off my credit card.

That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. And what makes me angry is whoever is doing it will probably become filthy rich from it.

I have to agree, the concept is a little silly to me. That said, folks made a guy a millionaire (or darn close to it) buying pixels on a web page. If someone comes up with a creative enough means to get folks to part with their money, more power to 'em.

i tend to agree with him... It's a number, painted. the number.. in blue... probably times new roman. It's not art, it's a number. look what you get for $65 dollars:



so what if it's "one of a kind" go out, buy some paint, and paint your own number. Only, use your team colors, and make it more artistic.

at first, when i saw each number had a wikipedia definition of the number i thought that maybe the painting was a cleaver combination of pictures from all those events that formed the number... but then i saw it's just blue.

don't waste your money on this, go treat a couple friends to a movie or something, it'll bring you a lot more joy than a blue number that anyone can write.

it is very silly. you can do this much cheaper. but someone has a dream and their own artist expression is this. interesting but i don't think many of us would buy this. especially if you look at the price. i looked up 179 (Swampthing 180 already taken)
Current Price: $246.30 Value: $821.00 .... i mean...ya.... i think we can do a lot more with that money than a canvas with our number on it. buy a VEX kit, sponsor a LEGO team... much more.... creating a difference in the future generations... well that is priceless...and these are expensive.

When I was a kid, I remember telling my dad that I had a Beanie Baby worth $400.

He said, "No, you don't."

I told him, "But the Beanie Baby Buying Guide says it's worth $400!"

He said, "I'll give you $5 for it."

I said, "But it's worth $400."

"That's where you're wrong," he said. "It's only worth what someone will pay for it."

I thought it was dumb at the time, but it was a good lesson. The painting is only worth $821, if you can find someone who will pay that much for it!

[KenWittlief]

Have i heard that pleanty of times my dad sayd that all the time

Honestly, I hope this person sells every last one of them. These things are awesome and the internet makes it possible.

I think things like this are great. For example, http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ is another example of how the internet can be used - this guy has slowly but surely traded up from one red paperclip to bigger and better things.

the painting of number '42' has sold out.

go figure.

So, who's got the most expensive one?
