Still early days.

I don't think it discourages many. It just tells them to raise the valuation. While I can't prove it empirically, it feels like lately, more and more bidders are waiting for the end to put in their bids in the live auction. Especially for pieces people expect to go high. Would love to know what others have noticed with respect to bidding trends?

Who really wants comics to be like Shakespeare? The Zeck run maybe among the best, but this one is amongst the most unexpected.

That makes sense. The thing is a rookie card is one piece of cardboard. A comic has a cover and many pages. But they are attached by the staple making them like one card. If one were to rip a card apart into different pieces, I guess the corner (border) of the card is not as important as the players eyeball, or maybe the symbol on the uniform.. but you see how silly it is to try and rip apart a single card and then calculate value based on parts. Maybe it's a terrible analogy. Just trying to see if I can think like a card collector 😅 Feel free to correct me or make a better analogy. Please and thanks!

And there is this spoof comic with a great costume by Dave Johnson . Punish-Her #1

Punisher has been through bigger changes...remember this

Fantastic film. Solid art. The covers can be thought of as movie props if this was live action. Congrats to the savvy collectors and to Sanford who's been hard working for a long time.

So every collector will decide for themselves..but a 22 page comics that takes 10 minutes to read... One page to the next shouldn't matter. All the pages within the book should be (IMO) be treated the same from a first appearance pov as long as that character appears on the page. The distinguishing factor will be the content/quality of the page. Splash/action scene/#of panels and story content of the page. My 2¢

Crazy about this one! The stark lighting makes this one pop!

There are several Gorey 's in upcoming Swann galleries auction. But it's coming up fast.. so check it out before it ends.Illustration auction link

My block list has to be over 50 words at least. Some words in other languages even. And acetate is on that list.😁

Thanks!

Hey Nico, Is there a way to get email follow up on completed auctions we tracked? So that we can basically be updated after auctions end or items sell.. perhaps as part of the daily key word email you send out?

I use the exclusions list extensively. One I like to screen for is 'gargoyles'. The first time it was fun to see.. after that. Not necessary.

Thanks Jay. 2 days left before someone takes this home. Good luck to everyone looking at any and all things at clink tomorrow.
