First and foremost, congratulations to you and James both. You and Vincent were clearly right, but I'm curious as to what made you think that. I for one was quite surprised to see it go over 10k let alone 20. I'd be interested to know how you were able to make such a bold yet spot-on prediction. Especially when nothing in the market (to my knowledge) indicated that values were on the rise. In fact, until this sale I was beginning to think the market as a whole was on a slight decline (but that just might be me).

Damn, I inquired about it a few hours ago too. Looks like I won't be getting back the response I was hoping for.

I think I have a new favorite. Gorgeous!

Just added another League of Extraordinary Gentleman page by Kevin O'Neill to my collection. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1150502 Like my other LOEG page this one is from the second volume. It features great banter between Mina and Allen which League fans are sure to appreciate!

Haha, I gave you the agreeable +1. I thought the trend comment was slightly adding to the point.

+1 I don't see why this sale should effect the rest of the art. One strong sale of a special piece does not qualify as a new trend in pricing.

Wait a second, you're not allowed to own your favorite cover! That cover really is gorgeous though and probably one of my favorites as well.

If you like Negan, this is pretty cool. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charlie-Adlard-Original-034-Negan-034-Artwork-from-The-Walking-Dead-Comic-Book-/131251003354?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276

Fair enough, I can't blame you! I was just wondering if you were disappointed by the sale.

I would have loved the extra $300 on the sale of the above link... I'd love an extra $300 too, but don't you think $670 was a good price for the page? I thought it a fair deal for buyer and seller alike.

I'm not sure I understand what's going on with the price of this piece. Its an attractive page with Jesse and Herr Starr, from a relatively early issue and has good content. Given all the discussion on this thread, you'd have thought this would go for $2.5K, instead of just $1K. Anyone else feel the same? I guess I am just out of touch. 3 others (JJ, JJJ, and ArtistLost) all think it was a bargain at the $999 price. I honestly don't know if it was a bargain or priced right, but I am merely stating that given all of the discussion in this thread, this page checked a lot of boxes people said they were looking for in a Preacher page so I thought it would have went for more. I thought it was on par with this page: http://m.ebay.com/itm/251563667213?nav=WATCHING_ENDED I didn't think it warranted an extra $300, and figured we'd see it relisted a few times at lower prices before it sold. Shows what I know!

Same Page Relisted Round 2 "FIGHT!" I wonder what happened... The real question is, will it go higher or lower this time?

They didn't seem to get too high at all. That one page with the Grimes family has been listed MANY times before. I'm pretty sure I've seen it go well above $1000 and not hit the reserve. I think people are just getting wise to the seller. On the Michonne page only half the panels were originals. I'm not sure what the seller was looking to get on that but I think the reserve was too high whatever it was.

This one is garnering some healthy action early on in the auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191233531254?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Of all the pages this seller has been posting lately, this one is definitely my favorite. I hate how they don't show the full page of OA though!

The seller is a boardie (although an infrequent poster) and a buddy of mine. He also happens to be local to you in NJ. If you're seriously interested in the cover or any other pieces, my advice is to contact him ASAP. It's just as likely that he'll end the auction for an offer, as let it run its course. From what I've seen, anyway. Tried and failed earlier today, (not one of the WD pages). I thought it was a good offer, but I guess I was way off.

How about this? http://m.ebay.com/itm/131225869816

I think it would be a killer cover minus the back of the zombie's head. I can't tell if that's supposed to be shading or an opened cranium. Either way, I think it looks a bit odd for $4,000-10,000.

Just got this back from the frame shop. On the left is a Steve Dillon Preacher interior, and on the right a Glenn Fabry (Preacher cover artist) painted pinup of Jesse Custer. I think it came out pretty nicely and the two look good paired together. This is also my first time uploading a picture to the boards using Photobucket, so I hope I don't mess it up!

This will end at $800ish. No way it hits $1300. No Rick. Two decent characters, but without Rick it's a sub-$900 page, even with the zombies. Dead on! You guys are good at this game!

Speaking of Tyrese pages, I'm very interested to see what this one goes for: http://m.ebay.com/itm/121354078335?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE. My guess is somewhere in the $1300-1400 range, but what do you guys think?

Just got this beauty in the mail: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1131681&GSub=149489 It's a painted Preacher pin up by Glenn Fabry featuring a close-up of the one and only Jesse Custer. For those that don't know, Fabry's Preacher covers are all locked-up in a private collection, so even if I could afford one, (which I can't), it would be impossible to obtain. This feels like the next best thing, and I couldn't be more pleased with it! I'm framing this one right next to my Dillon interior.

Just got my first piece of Chew OA today! From the first story arc it features Tony, Savoy, a bit of action, and Tony using his Cibopathic ability. In other words, it pretty much hits it all for me! http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1126597

Yeah, and if you haven't read The Walking Dead yet, SPOILER ALERT: there's zombies in it.

Loved the first issue, great start! I see the similarities to Scalped, but I think it's different enough to be original, (unless it turns out he's there undercover).

Like everyone else, I was sincerely let down. I think Kirkman is definitely losing steam, and I could totally see this series wrap by issue #150. I know that won't happen with all the money still out there, but I'd just hate to see this series get ran into the ground. It would be a real shame with all he's accomplished with it.
