By any chance...did Bill Cox and Crew do a recap on the results of this auction?  

Nevermind...found it...

Exactly. Panels 6-8 were all stats. I was hoping it would land in the low 20s. Thought it was on par with pricing for V pages. A page with no stats with V would probably have been in the high 30s at least.

I thought the V page was fine too, especially considering most of the V figures were stats IIRC.

I don't know if some other pages have sold privately for more, but, the Miracleman #16 page result struck me as fine as well at $21K. Really pretty page I have to say. 

 

I was expecting the V page to be around the 30s, but I did not realize a portion of the V page was stats. The Miracleman page is definitely beautiful art. A lot better looking than some other pages of the run ending recently at similar prices. Totleben is at his best in this one.  I had it at high 20s-low 30s

Im always intrigued by Alan Moore's related material.  The David Lloyd V for Vendetta page and both Totleben's pages (Swamp Thing #50 & Miracleman #16) seemed to have finished at the lower end of the spectrum. 

Strong finish for J. Scott Campbell  Gen 13 splash Page - $43,200

I (think I) remember when the cover to #1 was 50K, not too many years ago- seemed like an insane price at the time. 

The Capullo Batman #50 splash was in  consignment with Burkey for $50K. Seller can't be too happy.

I dunno.. well drawn but not a ton going on..

It's beautifully drawn for sure. But I felt it would go higher because it not only features the proverbial  Winter image used in most sites along with Pluto as Miracle Dog, but Winter tells the funny story about having sex. BTW, That girl needs a shirt. 

 I guess she knows her TMNT

John Totleben Miracleman page for $21K...seems very cheap...no?

Six breasts didn't bother me either.

I wonder if the consignor was hoping for first appearance money, and the market wasn't having it because the image of Lucifer is so small.

I spoke with the consignor, and he is somewhat satisfied. He was expecting $70K-80K.  But prices seem to be on the lower end in general.

Sure, but when I was looking at the page and considering buying it, what canceled out the Lucifer for me was the woman with 6 drooping breasts, nipples out, right in the middle. Not the most attractive image and definitely one I can't frame for people to see in my house. That's a big knock(er) on the page in my opinion. 

Its hell...what else can we expect.

Who cares what the ask was? It's like ebay prices vs ebay sold prices. That page at 60k is super strong. It wasn't an 80k page. 

Yes, but having the first appearance of Lucifer should give it a boost.

Not sure if it was ever on the website for that much, but, it was initially offered by them at $150K. Don't remember if it was via e-mail blast or if they reached out privately to select customers. Later reduced to $125K. 

I know the consignor,  and it was listed for 90K o the website last year.  If metro offered it privately before posting it on the website for over $100 it was without the knowledge of the consignor.  I know that for sure. 

I had it pegged at 75K. The page was listed for 90K at Metro.  I don't think there was ever an ask for over100K

I was after the Charest X-Men cover and I thought the bidding was very lively and it ended at a strong price!

Pretty piece. Did you win?

Can she at least take 10sec to describe the lot.

Definitely a buyers market today.   She is horrendous.

Since I can no longer afford Sandman pages, I might as well find and renew my appreciation for the pages I own. Such a fantastic series with timeless characters and stunning art. 

Sandman # 1

Congrats to the winners in today's auction and acquiring a piece of history with the first page in the series where we finally get a clear view of Dream's face in Issue #1 for the first time and with the Very First appearance of Lucifer in Issue # 4. Pages of that nature very rarely become available. Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg were firing on all cylinders. 

Is it just me, but did Hammer prices seem to be at the lower end today?

Also a page from Sandman 1 - a key page where we see sandman’s face for the first time.

$90K with the juice. Not bad. I thought it woul break $100K

Did the Sandman and Lucifer pages get pulled?  If not, would someone please post a link?  Thanks.

This one? First appearance of Lucifer.

I see it the same. $110K - 120K range.

That’s quite a bucket list of first appearance art.

For those of you who collect first appearance art, at quick glance, I see 8 first appearance pages from some Marvel big names… may be more

Black Knight

Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau)

Iron Fist

Iron Man

MODOK

She-Hulk

Thunderbird

Warlock

Not Marvel, but the auction also has the page with Sandman's- Lucifer's very first appearance (birth page).
