That Silvestri page is great!

Actually hoping for some vintage Dr. Strange (55 please!) and a bunch of Avengers Ann10 interiors...

I think they have that one slotted as the cover to the Con Exclusive/Signed version

This one actually grew on me over time. Magneto in multiple panels, Beast in multiple panels. That top right panel with the X-Men in their circus/captive gear, Mesmero's may be a dud character, but Byrne drew him so cool! There's something good to look at in every panel, and as mentioned, the Magneto storyline was great!

84k for the Jam Piece? Seems like a lot, no? Not my wheelhouse, can anyone weigh in? 36k for Liefeld layouts? First appearance mania apparently extends to unpublished prelims. McFarlane Hulk 340 for 90k? I would guess both buyer and seller are OK with that result.

Are there any pricing restrictions in place for sellers? What's to stop me from listing my Chas Truog Animal Man panel page in the event at $5m?

I hear this argument, but let's not assume that this is the only copy the seller owns. The "move" is to first compile inventory of something at lower levels and THEN sell on to yourself through HA at 200k. You only pay HA's cut once, you still retain the 200k comic (you bought it from yourself) and you have say a dozen copies in waiting which you are now ready to sell at their bumped-up trickle down value.

CAT Scale Index! Hey--it takes guts to even attempt creating a quality index # for pages. Exceptions abound of course, but I'm not sure I could have done any better. (he needs to revamp it to include an eight-point bump for 'birth pages' though ) Included that line chart because it perfectly illustrates the reality of trying to measure OA.

Or maybe a "spot the differences" spread in a magazine or activity workbook?

They have lots of things that are actually for sale, especially in person at cons. The item above is not likely one of them.

...and you can send your NSFW ones my way, please.

Hmmm. I was just joking (trolling?), but this is an interesting question you pose.

Legend has it he still has pretty much ALL of his X-Men pages.

The "Death in the Family" was a huge event, getting national coverage outside of comics. It featured one of the two biggest name superheroes (along with Spider-Man) and it came out during the Bat-Mania frenzy. Oh yeah, and the covers were drawn by a legendary super-star artist in Mignola. The 426 cover sold in 2018 for 34k. The 428 cover sold in June 2022 for 228k, and the 429 cover sold last month for 180k. Let's be real: Nobody cares about DC

Crude and impactful. Intentionally crude. Strong poses on both. The positive/negative on Spidey was done very well.

Both of these look pretty cool....

Are we talking about Kirby? or Liefeld? The answer is 'both'

Eh, whatever. He was pushing boundaries and he went too far. I don't fault them at all for sending it to print.

....also, I know it's from their press release, but it's not been 30 years since Miller drew Marvel. He did Daredevil Visionaries covers, Complete Frank Miller Spider-Man cover and maybe a couple other pin-ups (Cap 9/11? Black Widow one out there?)

Funniest part of that thread: didn't it start off saying he was a lurker and that this was his first post? All the potential topics to talk about in this hobby and THAT was the one which pushed him over the edge to take to his keyboard...

What happened to the thread?

Ha! This is a hobby where people give different prices to different customers on different days of the week all the time.

Totally possible. That cover sold at HA for 48k in 2018... and anything great has basically tripled in price since then.

Probably up there with 72 and 96.... any others that are 'next tier?'
