Yeah-- know it's high, but if you're wanting art from Moore, it's the only way you're gonna get it.I also think that's pretty much market value. (it's a little manipulated since he's completely dictating it since you can't buy OA directly from him as of late. (FYI, I did NOT pay $1,000 for my commission)
Any moore OA that pops up on eBay is going to pull 2,500-3,500-- even if it's a mundane page. There's still something very appealing to some about getting art from the co-creator and original artist. I have commissions, awesome splashes and even a cover from Charlie, but I was always chasing some decent art from Moore.
