If I see a Fleischer Superman, I'd be happy to pick one up at cost and shipping for someone. But I really have no interest in it.

That isn't really accurate to the spirit in which he issued that statement. He said (paraphrase) he likes for collectors who buy his figures to actually have something that increases in value. Therefore he doesn't reissue the same figure or produce so many that the market is flooded.

I doubt Todd hangs out on eBay watching the value of his figures increase in order to "stroke his ego". Dude has pieces of original art the sell in the hundreds of thousands.
