Wanted: Rom Spacenight panel page by Sal B.
thethedew replied to Noob19's topic in Original Comic Art Marketplace
In my opinion, no. You should be able to acquire a decent example for around half that. Again, in my opinion. Here's a fine example from ROM, SPACEKNIGHT 2, auctioned on Heritage earlier this year. $1560 You may have to be a little patient, though. Pick your shot. Erik Essington has this one open for offers, too, though I don't know how much he has in mind. -
Wanted: Rom Spacenight panel page by Sal B.
thethedew replied to Noob19's topic in Original Comic Art Marketplace
Got my major start on the title by clearing out inkers Akin & Garvey of all the ROM pages they had left at the time. That's why my ROM collection skews so strongly to that era of the book (as well as it being my favorite time of the book, as well) Since then it's just been the occasional potshot acquisition. -

I have a gallery of all ROM Spaceknight pages which are available for TRADE, but I'd probably want vintage MICRONAUTS (or stuff from ROM Annual 2) in exchange. Just something to consider. -

I've heard whispered from at least one source (which I can't recall now, tsk.) that if your consignment is big enough, notable enough, that HA might even be willing to give you points against their Buyer's Premium. Can anyone confirm that detail?

...and I don't think that this stance is even particularly unusual. Should such a valuation disaster happen, I would presume I wouldn't be alone in the loss, and further interpret it as a harbinger of opportunities to be welcomed. I would presume that there are many in the Hobby that, given the choice between: 1) losing half the value of their collection while gaining otherwise unforeseen opportunities to make new purchases, or 2) retaining their current high values, yet enduring limited opportunities to expand collections, I'd guess a solid majority would cheerfully take the loss and go hog-wild. (Not to hijack the OP's thread too much, sorry)

I'm hoping for a 'Building War Chest' year. We'll see if the fates allow. -

You like the Phantom Stranger? Has that been mentioned before? -

...from my writeup on CAF: I've owned this page for a few years now. It's the right-hand page to a long-separated Double Page Spread from MICRONAUTS 57 (1983) by Butch Guice and Kelley Jones. Missing pages from DPS's occur from time to time, and, in my mildly OCD-addled collector's mind, are pretty maddening. Fortunately, the MICRONAUTS are not present on this DPS, so the priority has always been low. The DPS likely was distributed intact to Guice, judging by the remnants of tape on the reverse, as well as the pricing note (twice the price of a similar 'single' page from the issue, written in the same handwriting. Kelley Jones has not sold any of his MICRONAUTS originals, to my knowledge, so it must have been Butch). How or why this page got separated from its mate I don't know, but it seems likely they were sold intact. Looking at the content of the page, unless you're familiar with the issue, it might not be immediately obvious it's part of a DPS. Only one panel (on the top) is really affected. Bottom line: I'm not married to this page, despite it being part of a vintage storyline. While I would certainly entertain the notion of buying Page 4 should it be made available, I'm just as happy to GIVE AWAY this page FOR FREE to the collector who owns its mate. So, yes. PAGE FIVE, FOR FREE, but only to the proven owner of of PAGE FOUR. I'll even pay shipping to get it to them.
