    I tried to scoop up the Dr Suess books, no longer in publication, and OMG, they are already super high in value. I managed to get ONE of them for a double digit price. I also looked for Cara Dune (Gina Carano) action figures and those look pretty high as well

    What are they canceling next? This could be super profitable!

    Why did you claim they were banned?

    I didn't know banned and no longer being published were not synonymous. Too late to change it now, edit button gone. Thanks for the correction but this is irrelevant to the thread, the point is, whatever they did, its make the value sky rocket.

    It's very relevant. Your OP is disingenuous because it paints the situation in a false light.

    Oh I know a guy who bought ten each of Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and Cream of Wheat, put 'em zip-loc baggies and stored 'em in a closet. Who knows, they may actually be worth something one day. There's always money to be made on society's stupidity, just look at Warren Buffet and friends.

    They aren't synonymous.

    To ban something means to officially or legally prohibit. If they were BANNED you would not have been able to order them.

    Not publishing something means the publisher has discontinued production of the item.

    P.S. You can report your own post if you are concerned with its legitimacy.

    I have. I don't want anyone in here to suffer depression over the mis use of a word. I'm hoping they act quickly so lives can be saved.

    No. First Edition Dr Seuss books have been worth over $2,000 for years. The
    Price on the book" If I Ran the Zoo", is in line with the price that has been listed in standard
    first edition worth for years. A First Edition Cat in the Hat in excellent condition
    is worth $4,000 (not on your "banned" list).

    But ...

    It sounds like you are the only one getting worked up about this.

    If it's about money why did you put Trump Derangement (which you spelled wrong) in the title? Your announced gender confusion is having a deleterious effect.

    Investing in fads is usually a very bad idea. Have you noticed that the spinners that were popular a couple of years ago have gone away. You will probably do better with gold or silver.

    How is this different than ANY publisher discontinuing the production of a title? It's not.

    You're changing the subject. Why did you put Trump Derangement (which you spelled wrong) in the title if the thread is about the price of books?

    What is a hot topic? Trump Derangement (which is a term the mods frown on using) or Dr. Seuss (which you spelled wrong) books? Maybe you should ask for the thread to be deleted cuz you seem confused.

    It's not the use of a word, it's the fact that you got all worked up about the price of the books in the first place. I checked
    the Ad for the Dr. Seuss books, and they are First Editions in great shape - so the prices are very much in line with
    the average price of First Edition Dr. Seuss books for years. 1stedition.net will give you those prices.

    Have you been able to figure out what this has to do with Trump? I read it a couple of times and still don't see the connection.

    Have you been able to figure out that you can't handle this thread because you are super offended by the left's ridiculous cancel culture getting called out and don't have a solid rebuttal?
