That is a pretty good idea. Good thinking.

Im taking the under on this one. Im at 100K +/- 7%

Looking for Michael Turner's Battle of the Planets Covers. Any clue on there whereabouts?

Jorge Jimenez Batman 100 Mono Print sold for $6000. I think that day is here.

True. But then we get into comparing value and price between the artist edition and the [insert company] edition. One will stand above the other. Just like book editions.

Is it reasonable to think a monoprint would sell for the same amount of pencil/ink piece? Why Not? Understandably We OA collectors are instinctively inclined to make a direct comparison of the price between original pencil/ink vs an original monoprint. It may seem like the correct approach, but I find it unfair, as they both exist in different art mediums. This is one of the cases were technology has reinvented the art scene. Sort of the same way photography did a century ago. Many believed that photography could not be art, because it was made by a machine rather than by human creativity. We see it different now, and we do not compare the value of a painting vs the value a photograph. If you like it, and it if doesn’t exist in any other form…well then, the monoprint is your only option. How much are you willing to pay is up to you. As for proof? It will be the same as any photographer approved photo-prints. Photos come in a number of editions and sizes reflected in a COA, which is approved and signed by the photographer. In this cases the COA it’s what determines provenance and if it is original, and not a reproduction. The mono-print comes with a COA as well indicating that is 1 of 1 original print signed by the artist. Is that enough proof? Again, that’s up to the individual collector to decide. Make no mistake (about it), at the end of the day you are paying for provenance in the form of COA. And it seems some collectors have already come to terms with this.

Like any other piece of OA, that is up to each individual collector.

Congrats!! That’s a pretty awesome image. I personally haven’t taken the plunge…yet, but it has become a bit harder to resist some of the imagery coming from Jorge Jimenez current Batman run. And it seems other collectors are starting to feel the same way, as his pieces are selling really well, all considering that they are all original prints, and not the standard pencil/ink on board. I think eventually the modern collector will make and an easy transition to collecting mono-prints. As for the “older” collector like myself, it’s about coming to terms with the idea that it’s an original 1 of 1 artist approve print, and not your run of the mill reproduction.

Didnt Burkey had it on hist site not too long ago?

haha.Happy wife.....I tried to cut the bid at $33K, but I was too late. I feel I may regret not trying again...but I dont think I would have gone over $40K. On to the next one...

$30K was my max bid (w/BP). It sold for $37,500 Is Mrs. GrapeApe measuring the wall?

The Bisley Lobo selling for $28,800 was another head scratcher. I thought it would go for around $15K

José Luis García-López Deadman #1 for 13.2K...seems high

David Finch / Danny Miki Covers from the X-Men Messiah Complex series were selling privately for around $20K. I recall X-Men 494 selling for $12K or 15K a decade ago. Is quite a big jump. I personally had it peg for around $25K. The cover is one of the better ones of the series.

Thanks. I know is not OA related, but I was also curious about the results of Mike King Concert Posters. I should have put them on my watch list.

Is there a way to see the auction results?

Which artist is from? Original Comic Art typically does not come with a COA. Unless is a Digital 1 of 1 Print.

Generally I would say No , but many years ago I did buy an abysmal McFarlane Spawn, because there were no other McFarlane Spawns around at the time. I end up selling it shortly after. You know why I sold it? Because It was ugly. Im actually glad that I bought it, and then sell it. I was able to make that decision after holding the art in my hands for some months and getting a true feel for it. Sometimes you just have to go through the experience. My

It sold privately some years ago for close to that amount.

Didn't Danzig own this?....anyway What is the estimate on something like this?

I've always liked his take on the Joker during the Morrison run,

How Does Comic Connect near the end of the auction added time works?

This. So true. Still not over it. I eventually acquired a McSpidey Cover, but never a Venom page.
