There's more if you read the link. Apparently they did a lot of research to prove it.

It might be worth that if he has the reproduction rights to it. That's not even counting the collection value.

Who got married?
The little fat guy and his Mexican Gal?
Really, who invites those guys to your wedding?
And Billy The Kid is not packing?
