We are in fine company.

 

 

Great photos.  Funny that they both ended up in Star Wars movies.

I'd send that in to be pressed and cleaned.  Bet it comes back a 3.5 or better.

4.5 - good luck!

Wow!

1.0 to 1.5 - congrats!

Its very simple!

Anything you sell to a dealer is B level art.

Anything you buy from a dealer is A level art.

I haven’t read the Patience thread in a while, might need to dust that off.

 

I have a decade plus story of my own. No comic art involved but it is in the hobby. We might see a Bleeding Cool article in the coming months.

A statue?

I noticed earlier in the thread you had DC Showcase's version of Dr. No, here's the original British Classic Illustrated version, on sale on ebay at the moment by a fellow boardie I believe?

 

What a fantastic cover.  That's wonderful, and the colors are so rich.

This one just makes me laugh....

Why would Superman try and dodge anything?   Do you thing the sword strike ripped Bat's tights?

I wish that someone would take one of these situations to a small claims court, and get a judgement. 

Very nice.  Thanks for showing it!

Several years ago, Tim Sale was offering a commission in exchange for one of those 6' Frankenstein posters.  Had to be an original one.  I think he finally got one.

I know it's a stretch but I have to include him and his comic.

 

That's a funny cover.  Poor Monk.

Wow. $630 - great deal for sure. Won't be surprised if it was bought by a dealer or flipper and we see it for 2-3x on some site soon 

 

I hope it went to someone that got a deal and it is in a private collection.  Ed's work is going to be over looked in this type of auction.  I think the heavy hitters aren't interested in, forget about, or turn their noses up at work in Ed's price-point.  Conversely, the people that might be interested don't wade in and bid because of how much the other items' bids in the auction have been trending.  It scares them off.  Thus, you get a result like this one.  One of the best deals of the auction.

Oh, and the fact that unless you were aware it was Deadpool, and/or didn't look at the description and just went by the title "5 Ronin" may have lead some to not bid.

I had remembered that piece switching hands a few times a few years back and was interested when it came up again at auction but decided I needed to be frugal. From what I can remember the price it sold for was only $25-50 more than it sold for last time.

Might have been a better win for somebody than I thought it was.  Good for that buyer.  Bad for the seller.  Yikes!

I wonder if the Jim Davis strips will end up on a dealer's/filpper's website or eBay?  The dailies mostly went in the $500 - 600 range which is 1/3 of what they sell for on the Garfield website

Yes, I know this is in the shallow end of the pool.  However, whomever bought the McGuinness 5 Ronin Deadpool cover got it at a nice price.  The style McGuinness used on that cover reflected how he used to draw the character when he first started working in comics in the 1990's.

Pogo was regarded by historians of the art form as one of the best strips ever produced, with Walt Kelly being regarded as a genius. 

C&H May or May or may not sustain its current esteem. 

You should look into what the most famous strip artist have to say about Watterson and what he did with Calvin and Hobbes.  They all state that when he was writing, producing, and drawing Calvin and Hobbes he was at a level that they wish they could approach.  Personally, I love the fact that Watterson is a recluse and doesn't allow his creation to be __________ by the almighty dollar.

That’s my point. The strip values don’t reflect quality 

I never stated that Pogo wasn't a fantastic strip.  My points were in reference to Calvin and Hobbes and what Watterson created.

Other than the classics I listed above, the strips that are appreciating are the more recent ones such as Calvin & Hobbes. Based primarily on the fact that the fans of those strips are reaching peak earning age. Now, C&H May achieve classic status like Peanuts, etc  but it’s too soon to tell, IMHO  

Aren't the prices of Calvin and Hobbes driven by the scarcity of the strips on the market compared to the demand, and the fact that many experts in accademia of daily comics and the artist who produce them view Watterson's work as the perfection of the art form?

 Comic art is probably going to go the sane route. Some classic stuff will hold on and appreciate, but a lot of stuff that we may think is top notch right now may not hold onto its value in the long run. 

I think something like Preacher Art would be a good example. It’s hot right now, but will it hold on to this level in 10-15 years when the biggest Preacher nostalgia collectors liquidate their collections and the TV show has been off the air for years? 

 

I think the Walking Dead art is another good example to watch over time.  When the comic and the show are gone with the work leave the collective consciousness of those who collected OA?

Now a serious question for you @tv horror......

how can the Mummy even catch anyone ? he is so slow and he drags his one foot when he walks so that one would think he wouldn't even be able to catch even a small child ??

much less anyone else  

That is what Jason and Michael Myers do too.  You'd think that the victim could just move at a slow jog and get away.

7.0, good luck!

I'd never heard of that "gripping CBS" show.

I am curious how HA's announcement of them collecting taxes from additional states starting Aug 1st will effect bidding. 

Won't be long until most states start collecting it.  Too much money left on the table not to do it.

Yup, great movie, really enjoyed it but not nearly as good as the original.

I agree.  However, it was pretty good and our son enjoyed it.

I wish the movie would have moved along with the Underminer.  He was there again and then forgotten.  That was weird.
