That’s quite a mark up! Although when you factor in that Anthony is probably throwing in a signed random Esad Ribic print,.,,then the flip spread doesn’t seem so off putting

Don’t leave us hanging Mitch! what was the final “hammer” on the ASM 109 page 7...,, ?

I hadn’t planned on going. But to see this live and in person.... grape ape might have to put on a fresh pair o fruit of the looms and make the drive.

On a serious note, I wonder if the guys would consider adding a charitable element to their show? This goes out to Will, Bechara, Glen and Bill Cox to who I think is a swell fella. Save a bonus charitable round where a donated piece of art could be “claimed” and all the money would go to a pronounced charity. • set a timer 60 seconds and the art with an opening bid minimum.,..chat claimers time stamped offer bids decide within 60 second expiration. You could donate all the money to a worthy charitable organization such as The LU FAMILY FUND• PALTOWN as I’m sure you know Felix Lu does great charity work through his website: or a fund of the dealers choosing. art could come from dealers and from donations from collectors like us. You could give a shout out each episode to the donated work and the collector contributing. Grape thought this might be something all of us could get behind even if we sometimes bump heads out there on the battlefield of art collecting.

If a potential buyer counter offers a Donelly on a piece of art can we set a 10 second time limit if one brother responds, “I have to ask my brother.” before accepting the offer?

Mitch already set me straight. Not a chance in H E double toothpicks. LFGM

No no nothing dubious. I just thought the other guy would get a chance to match. But yeah I thinK Saul did say first at $650. I hope the guy at $625 really wasn’t passionate about it. Losing it over $25 will eat at ya!

Pages that honestly stood out to me Saul’s Marie Severin page with the Hulk and the Starlin Warlock page. Becharra had a really exceptional Jim Mooney page with Marvel Girl on it. I think it went $3300. Whoever got that one ✅

Did Rich Donelly stomp on a cut bid to snag that Krenkel Red Sonja at $650? There was an offer of $600. Saul countered $650. Claimer split offer $625 Then I believe Rich jumped in at $650 and Saul called the auction over! 😂 Not saying it’s wrong. But it felt...... 😬 The opening was $800

If I drive up on Sunday I’ll be wearing my Mets cap! LFGM

Have these clowns listed anything else?

He means it!

I met John Romita at SDCC the month after his new book The Art of John Romita came out. I talked to him about the book and so much more!! He also drew me a Spidey head sketch which I still proudly display in my CAF gallery. In that 1996 book he specifically hails ASM 109 as his favorite story that he worked on. Wow what a page.

Brian overall I’m holding my inventory. Theres no doubt you’d make a killing on those pages. I guess it’s just a matter of (do you want to let them go?)

👶 🤤 😤 👽ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I agree. Hold.

Hey if this applies to you happy Father’s Day!!! My kids got me this great card...it’s actually a hologram effect. They appreciate their 53 year old dad/grandpa/uncle is still a kid at heart. To the kids at heart who helped raise a kid(s) enjoy what’s left of this day!

Bagley ASM page went $2400 this weekend at HA. Nowhere as nice as the 371 page. That’s easily $3500. these are really nice I’d get them if you can.

Did you trade all three for a Drew Bledsoe rookie?

I’ll give ya a bump so you don’t have to feel alone on the mission. I’ve been there pal.

Damn my aging eyes! Nice....a shave and a haircut for the buyer.

Another example of an artist who was in reach for quite awhile. Now? The worlds gone mad 😱

As grape ape gets up in age, it takes him at least a cognac and a nap before typing more then 1 sentence. So it’s refreshing to bang out a few paragraphs and have Vodou edit those words down to Blah Blah Blah. I don’t know if that’s what I wrote but it’s what I heard the voice in my head tell me to write. Vodou? Are you the voice...... in my head 🦍? 😱
