Please understand that many of the larger collectors, especially from the HMA do not browse the boards often. They tend to keep their pieces on the downlow b/c they simply do not have time to be bothered. Mike is selling his Doc b/c he was laid off from his job and it is something he must part with regretfully. Even at $800+ I must say that the Doc is worth the price. Why, because it is THE ULTIMATE Loomis to date and captures his expression perfectly. Although it was originally $300 upon initial release, Lee\'s better work skyrockets in value. Personally, I think the Doc will only continue to go up in value. Even if one day someone makes another Loomis that surpasses its accuracy, The Doc will ALWAYS be the 1st mask/bust that truly captured the look we all remember in Donald Pleasance. I spent over a year tracking down my Doc, and I finally found a collector willing to let him go. I paid a pretty penny... but it is totally worth it! The funny thing is.... I want another. If you notice the high bidder\'s name on eBay, it\'s me.
