I have to login every time I visit now too.

This. I upgraded the server last week, seems to be a collateral damage, but I haven't had the time to take a look at it yet.

So @Rick2you2 your timing (past week or so) is probably not a coincidence. Unfortunately I don't have any device with iOS. Can you provide more information? What are the symptoms, blank page or something else? On all pages or only when you do something specific (like a search)?

A Heritage Auction with nine items in it? Unusual.

I see 54 items in the comic art section: https://comics.ha.com/c/search/results.zx?term=&dept=1938&auction_name=7364&mode=live&comic_category=3242

Two consecutive panel pages by Zulli sold on ComicLink in 2018 for $1,927 and $1,578 (Sandman #71). The page after sold long before on Heritage (2013) for $1,135.

.     

Another page sold on Anthony Snyder's website - also in 2018 - for $1,250 (#73).

Sandman #72 page 3 was listed for sale at $5,000 on Scott Eder's website (once again in 2018). Much nicer than the previous ones, but I can't tell if someone bought it at this price.

Yep, I misread the original equation AND misused the MOD function. Sigh...

Indeed! For what it's worth, what you need is =40*POWER(10,FLOOR(LOG10(A),1)-1).

I feel like I need a tutorial on Hake's. I can never seem to find items on their site.

So look at them on CAT, I find them for you .  https://comicarttracker.com/hakes-auctions

What does comic art tracker do?

ComicArtTracker is a website dedicated to helping collectors find and track comic art for sale from more than 360 dealers, auction houses, marketplaces and artists websites all over the world. Instead of having to check all these websites manually, you just have to check one. Plus you can define a list of keywords and receive daily notifications by email when new listings match one of these keywords.

Best place to (help you) find art for sale: my precious, definitely! https://comicarttracker.com/en 

One Site to rule them all, One Site to find them,
One Site to bring them all and in the Lightness bind them 

Best place to sell: really depends on what you have to sell (quality and quantity) and what your priority is (price, time, energy...)

I know you were asking more about US dealers, but many (most of) French and Belgian dealers have a physical gallery with openings, exhibitions, etc. I would say 12 of them in Paris + 3-4 more in other locations in France, and 3 in Brussels. Not comic book stores but galleries, as they are all dedicated to comic art (even if Daniel Maghen also has his own publishing house).

Hello,

Long time lurker new poster.

On ComicArtTracker I noticed while looking for some Aaron Kuder Superman art that there are duplicates to Cadence site from Polish Comic Art site.

Struck me s something ComicArtTracker and forum should know about if not an old topic

Hi @WillKrypton,

You're right, that's weird and one of the two websites is probably not uptodate... but unfortunately ComicArtTracker can only repeat what the websites say!

Nico, is it possible that the heritage overviews are not working? Every link leads to the same three pieces. Might be my browser safari) though. 

Where are the links you're clicking on? Home page, calendar, notifications, search results, another page?

Edit 1: ok, I think I found it, links from the "auction schedule" block on the home page are broken, thanks for pointing this out. I'll fix it quickly, in the meantime you can access Heritage auctions through Heritage calendar: https://comicarttracker.com/heritage-auctions

Edit 2: links on homepage should be fixed - tell me if you find any other broken / non working link!

600 lots sold, 85% of them below $500 (and 35% below $100)

In the meantime, you can use the filters ("recently listed") to narrow down your search results to the most recent ones:

I'm seeing 14,400 new artworks but not a way to discard them.

Only about 30-50 are truly new.

Yes, I had to deactivate the "discard" option for now (it consumes a lot of resources) but I'm working on it.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi everybody,

I've updated ComicArtTracker to fix a few bugs and prepare for the next big version to come.
Please tell me if there is anything wrong!

is this the highest paid at auction for a Romita small-art panel page ever?

I don't understand what you mean by "small-art panel page" but at least two panel pages already sold for higher prices:

CAT continues to be indispensable. Thank you again!

I've noticed that some of the HA auctions like the international ones have a 25% BP instead of the usual 20%:

https://comics.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=7344&ic=breadcrumb-comics-121913-interior

CAT seems to show the prices under tracked art as having a 20% BP, so it's slightly off.

Also under tracked art for these HA auctions, "active 03/13/2023" when the actual item's end date is 3/11. The full auction ends from 3/10 to 3/12 so if you're following along in tracked art and not going to HA you may miss an auction.

I have to "fix" the 25% BP for International auctions manually and forgot to do it here, it's now done... thanks for reminding me ;-)

As for the auctions end date, that's something that I already tried to fix but with no success for now. Heritage provides an end date which is 13/03/2023 CET or 12/03/2023 PST but when it's divided on several days I only have the final one :-/

What was the median?

 

$230

I added up the premium lots in the C-link auction that ended the other night. In seven and a half pages of “premium” art, the grand total was $231,130. The biggest - and most surprising to me - result in the premium was the Gary Kwapisz Punisher War Journal 57 Ghost Rider splash that sold for $9,855. It was an awesome splash, but, dang, that’s a Saltares/Texeira single-digit issue GR splash price.

Several pieces in the first half of the auction sold for two digits and some sold for as low as a buck each in the second half (the non-premium art auctions).

In fact, the 737 lots sold for $297,221 (58 lots above $1000 and 195 below $100)... which makes a really weak average of $400 / lot!

Did you already try to play with ChatGPT? It's an AI-powered chatbot. I was curious to see what it could answer to my request: "Write a product brief for a website aggregating all original comic art for sale on any dealer, marketplace or auction house website"... and its answer is really close to what ComicArtTracker looks like! 

First try:

Second try ("Regenerate response"): 

Thank you to everyone who answered the survey (~400 answers). I'll let you know the main results as soon as I have some time.

I was surprised to discover that some users still had problems with the daily emails on mobile. Maybe it's Apple / Safari, maybe it's the incognito mode, maybe some privacy settings removing a part of the link or a specific behavior of the "browsers" nested within email apps on mobile. Unfortunately none of these users gave me his email, so I can't ask more questions directly. But I investigated some more, and had a new idea to try to circumvent this behavior and put it in place in today's email.

So if you still had some issues with the daily email recently, please PM me to tell me if it was better or not today (and the days to come).

I need your feedback to continue to irmprove ComicArtTracker!
