I believe the price was over $3MM and the owner is Fish as it was posted a while back.

NOT over $3MM

It is definitely in my top 5. Probably in the top 3 and, and for many fans who I communicate with, it's #1. 

So what are your top 5?

yeah if only...........

Certifiably insane!

the going rate is ......   $$

Higher than I thought they would sell for. They are fantastic pages the buyer is thrilled to own them

Poor form to post another show info on their thread. I’ll attend both but why not just start another thread?

This Expo is already posted elsewhere on CGC forum. Poor form is to post multiple times on same forum,using CAF email search terms to promote expo etc.

Have fun at both shows. Hope you aren't staying at Hotel Penn.

Wish them both the best of luck.

Im not a fan of bed bugs,NYC traffic,crowds etc or  a promoter that spams art expo on Caf and here and doesn't even have a link or mention of expo on his own site.

I guess he would rather post consignment art without pricing or art that has already been sold.

Either way good to see the hobby being promoted.

Already posted in its appropriate area with some  comments on venue  (NOT FRESH!)

Comic Connect has the first Drax appearance (the Starlin splash from Iron man 55) in their most recent auction. I'm predicting $50,000 for that. 

I'd say the Harley Quinn BA12 cover would go in the $250,000 range. Then again, is it comparable to the Hulk 180 Wolverine Cameo? It's also a cover. So, it wouldn't shock me if it went up into the half million range.

so what say you on Iron Man #55 cover?

I get not wanting to pay too much or worse yet get outbid, and I get that there's only so much you'd want to say publicly, but at the end of the day, you're still interested in it, I presume?

 

you offering?

Okay Gene, if I misinterpreted your point then I'll give you that one, but you're working far too hard at debating this whole thing when Fish is publicly calling his shot in this thread.     Now I don't know him, you probably know him better than I do, but he doesn't come across as someone that wouldn't back it up, and I certainly believe he'd find a dance partner at some six figure level.

Love it or hate it, its the first comic appearance of an important character and the market for whatever reason doesn't care that she appeared in a cartoon first.

I dont want to dance

Who's going to fess up to buying this or running it up as the underbidder?  Really want to know if it was just the usual suspects or if there really is a groundswell of demand from a younger, more Modern-oriented crowd like some are speculating.  I just find it a little hard to believe that someone would make the jump from collecting CGC 9.8-10 Moderns and sketch covers to spending $71.7K on a piece like this without being on anybody's radar.  

You'd think, based on previous bidding history on other items, that The Vacuum and Fish would have been involved, at least at lower levels (whether either/both took it to the end, I have no knowledge about).  Who else?  Adam/Filter81?  Matt E.?  Not sure if those guys would be into something like this or not.  I'd rule out the BSDs who largely stick to Gold/Silver/Bronze/Copper - it would be a surprise to learn that one of them went this far to get something out of their wheelhouse.  The price would surely rule out a dealer unless buying on behalf of a client (Hugh Jackman?  LOL...)  I've heard about at least one guy paying up for newer art, but, this would be a big step up from where he's been buying as far as I know.  The underbidder was a phone bidder - anyone can bid by phone, but, in my experience, people who bid by phone are those old hands who know what they're doing; would be surprised if that person was a newbie Modern crossover guy.  

Anyway, just idle speculation given that The Cabal rejected my letter of resignation from the hobby this morning.  

It wasnt me i was prepared to go to 30K . 71.7 wow  what would my NM#98 cover bring at auction this is getting really nutty

fyi Gene I was a buyer on batman adventures #12 at $100k 3 years ago  if it turns up lmk
