    I've seen that piece in person- very, very nice. Great Stone inks on that one.

     

    Hey Robert,

    Did the piece look larger than 2up? Like much bigger? The scan really sucks!

    There are a few Marvel SA covers with larger image areas (15.5" x 22")..for example, I just recall how extra-big the TOS #84 cover looked in hand.  
    TOS #84 (1966)

    Early JIM panel pages typically have twice-up image areas of 18-19" in length, but there is 3-4 inches of margin (top and bottom) so conceivably Kirby could have utilized more of the board.  Perhaps the art extends beyond the guidelines and counted in the 22.75" length.  Or maybe the seller is math-challenged as the listing does state:

    "We sold two early J.I.M pages by Kirby, in auction, collectively for $56K, consider this a bargain!"  Um... I think $56k / 2 = $28k, well below the $35k asking price LOL!  Still, an excellent Kirby page with Thor in all panels. 

      

    Thanks Dino. The person being math challenged did cross my mind. What really confused me was the width of the page. 16 inches? Twice up pages are only 12.5 inches wide. That's another 4 inches going wide. The cover example might be the closest example.

    On a good day in an auction environment, I'd say 8k to 12k, on an off day, maybe $6k to 8k.  If you needed cash within an hour, you'd easily get $3k - 5k from a dealer or collector as a straight buy

    You could get that 3-5K as an advance from an auction house
