I forgot many don’t read modern comics

Agreed the price seems very inflated. Modern Superman art with a handful of exceptions doesn’t seem to sell for strong money like Batman. It’s a pure case of fear of underpricing.

There’s a reason the auction was private. Even when eBay names are hidden to have a private auction tells me you may have something to hide. With all the inquiries they received I’m sure greed set in.

Well respected artist and a ground breaking issue for the character.

Read the issue.

I spoke with her by phone and email. They accepted a private offer on Sunday. The whole thing doesn’t pass the sniff test. Logan wouldn’t approve The art was legit. Was being sold by Terry Stewart who was the original owner.

Last month I was given a stack of art as consignment by someone who worked for marvel for years. He said I have some art that isn’t anything great. In the stack were three covers from the 70’s that were never on the market. He was shocked when I handed him a five figure check a few weeks later. People have no idea what this stuff may be worth. Apparently much of the art in metropolis comics office walked in off the street with the seller having no idea of its value.

Here are two I have displayed.

Agreed! Very easy to do.

In regards to OA only, not variants, prints etc....Ross does great originals but the prices have gone too high for the average collector. Most covers start at 20k. Love his art but just can’t justify that much for a modern painting. And with the sheer quantity being nice produced, it’s an imbalance of supply vs demand. Often times you’ll see his pieces on dealer sites for below the initial retail ask. For Campbell, his two biggest buyers have dropped out for a few reasons which has hurt his market. A Spider-Man cover sold for around $8500 at auction last month. A few years ago even if you were able to buy one, the asking prices were 15-20k. Perhaps the sales of all other merchandise has made art sales a lower priority.

I told the wife to send everything to Heritage if something happens to me. As of now I have one kid who already has a collecting bug and also loves to read. Hopefully that continues to flourish.

Art by Michael Ryan Cant recall which title

Published Batgirl by Paul Pelletier

Unpublished Paul Smith Samurai Logan

Published 1993 By Andre Coates What makes this page interesting is that in Old Man Logan published almost 20 years later, a similar scene happened where Logan killed the X-Men while under the influence of Mysterio.

Lots of rules! 🧐

Happy New Year! To lots of amazing art and discussions for 2020!

$500 was my initial reaction

James Halperin, Heritage founder and co-chairman. “I don’t think we’re really near the bubble [bursting] yet.” Very promising

That’s unfortunate. It’s amazing how as collectors we spend thousands on art but cheap out on other things like framing and online subscriptions
