    They say to buy collectables when inflation starts. That painting is a true 1/1. Recent sales of the Wagner cards, gretzky PSA 10, etc. seems to be confirming this trend. Here's a good general article on collecting from someone with life experience:

    Actually, I believe there are 4 versions of Scream, 3 in private museums, so it's not a true 1/1, even though I guess each of the 4 were painted individually.

    The 4 are also each noticeably different in their presentation of the main figure and in the material each is made on/from. This was also one of the two that was never previously stolen. It was also the second one made.
    Is the central figure expressing horror at something in his own mind, or something he sees ? The bridge depicted was a popular suicide location
