there is a lot of really nice art available, including a significant number of pieces I haven't seen offered before. I do see some CRAZY prices, but hey, if its yours, you can ask for whatever you want.  (What is kind of annoying is seeing some retread pieces that have been listed in every single CAF Live, posted again with even higher prices)

**Disclosure: For the first time I posted some art for sale on CAF Live. Sold one page within the first hour, and had inquiries about some others. So already I consider the event a success.**

I saw one or two moderately-priced pieces I really like, but I'm not sure I'm ready to pull the trigger. Let's see what pops up tomorrow.

one of the great Bronze Age WW splash pages. Congrats on picking this one up!

1. Write down a list of books you're looking for. Any convention can be overwhelming due to all the choices, but for your first, I'd recommend making a list and trying to stick to it. Will keep you from overspending. 

2. Give the convention floor a walkthrough before you make your first purchase. The first dealer you encounter may have higher prices than someone in another part of the floor. Shop around and compare prices.

3. Know your budget and stick to it!

4. Go dumpster diving in the bargain bins! you may find something cool for peanuts.

5. Always easier to negotiate with cash than credit cards/PayPal, etc. so hit the bank before you go.

6. If it's a multi-day Con, go on the last day. Lots of dealers are more willing to wheel & deal then -- who wants to pack up everything for the ride home?

 7. Enjoy it! Cons are the best....

Recent acquisition, Laff page with Elroy Jetson.

Noticing this may be situation where Original 1-of-A-Kind Comic Art may cost less than the comic book in high grade

 

If Art is not welcome in this topic my apologies, but if it is welcome I have more Hanna Marvel I will post.

what a great page! Congrats on finding it -- these pages don't turn up often!

Nearly 11k for the Alpha Flight page that ended tonight!

 

 

strong result for this, but it's an excellent page from a key story. Congrats to the seller!

Is that Archie Goodwin? Where did that come from?

 

It was Jim Shooter who allegedly caught Kane red-handed, no?

Yes. I totally missed the first two.

The Nova page with Stan Lee, Marv & Sal finished at a strong price! Gotta believe the seller is happy with the result. Great page...

Bumping this up with an **UPDATE** -- Lowered the prices on a few pieces AND added a cool Aquaman page by Don Newton.

link to the Newton Aqua page...

I think he’s saying the poster is likely the scammer and this guy is really good. Fishing to get suckers to offer him $$ in PMs. Dangerous time to be collecting comics with whoever this scammer is on the loose. 

**UPDATE**

NEW pages added to the sale.

Added a couple of more pages to my For Sale gallery. Link to gallery here, but listing the new additions below as well:

* Dazzler #5 page by Frank Springer with Dazzler, Doctor Doom, the Enchantress and the Human Torch

* Web of Spider-Man #61 panel page by Alex Saviuk featuring MJ & cameos from Doctor Doom and Loki

* Web of Spider-Man #101 page by Saviuk with a great splashy shot of MJ

* Dazzler #35 page - really nice page by Frank Springer showing Allison Blaire encountering anti-mutant bigotry.

* World's Finest #263 page by Jose Delbo/Frank Chiaramonte - Aquaman takes a trip down to memory lane and revisits a couple of key moments in his history. Really nice page!

* Noble Causes TpB cover featuring Invincible and Savage Dragon

* Spider-Man daily strip from 1996 by Larry Lieber/Fred Kida

* Tales of the Marvels: The Wonder Years splash featuring Wonder Man by Igor Kordey

* Super cool animation cel featuring Scooby-Doo, Dynomutt & Captain Caveman

Thanks for taking a look!

For me, it was a toss-up between Supes 199 or Bats 200...

I've always been more of a Marvel fan, but this cover is an all-time favorite! Been trying to find a high-grade copy for a while now!

Hi all,

Listing a few pages from my collection for sale. Starting off with this cool panel page from Marvel Team-Up #109 by Herb Trimpe & Mike Esposito featuring a great full-figure Dazzler image. Page is standard size, 11x17, with trimmed corners. Questions always welcome. Thanks for looking!

wow, $5,520 for a CGC 8.0 Star Wars #1 35 cent variant - congrats to the buyer, and I guess condolences to the seller unless they've been holding it a long time.

I personally think that's a great price for a nice copy of this book....

Hats off to Heritage's packaging. I recently got a shipment from them that looked as if it had been totally submerged underwater (it was raining heavily that day). I mean, it was so bad that huge chunks of the box were literally peeling off and water/moisture was getting all over the inside. But, it was packaged so well on the inside that the art was unharmed. 

I had an issue with a recent purchase from Heritage where poor shipping led to a nice raw copy of Hawkman #4 getting wrecked. However, all of my OA purchases have always shown up incredibly well-protected.

Grades came in today!  Not bad!!

Wow, a 9.4 and a 9.0?!! Amazing find, congratulations!!

Wanted that Freedom Fighters cover with WW but had to bow out. Thought it still sold for a good price.

happy with my winnings - the Cockrum Marvel Super Special Star Trek TMP page with Kirk, Bones and McCoy. 

Hi folks,

I'd like to find a nice example or two from the one-shot comic adapting this classic piece of Marvel animation history. Don't see many pages out there - aside from the couple on CAF, which are not for sale (I've asked already). If anyone has leads on where some pages are located or if you have one for sale, please LMK.

I won this cover in the previous auction. I cancelled after I found out that the Banning inks we're done after publication. Commissioned inks over original pencils. I'm kind of surprised they didn't list that in the description this time around. It's a great cover. I just couldn't past the inks weren't done pre-production.   

That's a fairly significant oversight on CLink's part. I would've cancelled as well.

Really excited to share Marvel Secret Wars II Promotional Poster Art featuring The Beyonder vs. 70+ Marvel super-heroes by Ron Wilson.  Back in 1985, the poster adorned the walls of comic stores and Marvel fans including mine! Drawn on a huge piece of illustration board with an image area of 22" x 34"!

Link

Great piece, Dino! I remember this poster. Incredible how many heroes Wilson fit into this image. Also, I noticed ROM was erased from the printed poster. Was that around the time Marvel lost the rights to the character? 

I know some of the higher end pieces at the beginning of the auction may have "underperformed," but it sure looked like prices for mid-range art were really strong.

i was quite happy with the results my 2 consigned pieces brought in. Also was good to see that demand for DC Style Guide pieces by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez remains quite high. 
 

a few of his pieces went for comparative bargains during weekly auctions. but the Batgirl and supergirl examples in this auction did very well.
