They aren't even one of a kind

I always thought it was art obtained in the year indicated - as you say, otherwise we could see no art in 2020 getting votes

No Sorry required at all - I wasn't assuming this was your strategy, just commenting on those that may have the concern

Thanks!

Sold now - anyone catch the price? He had another one a few years ago as well.

Interesting and for some this may be true...a bit sad that some people are so 'tit for tat', isn't it? I'd like to think our community is somehow above that behavior but I imagine that is a bit wishful. I published my votes in the other thread as I find reading others' selections fun so I did the same...isn't getting more enjoyment out of this esoteric hobby the point of the boards? So post away!

Wow – what a great set of art! Agree the voting process is very well thought out but give an inch and they will take a mile so request for Bill - would be great, if after voting, there was a way to cut/paste our selection to share with the list I generally selected what I’d like to see most in my collection Published/Unpublished Comic Book Covers Monty B. – Don Rosa, Scrooge McDuck --> Rosa Rules Glynn Crain – BWS, Conan Saga --> BWS Amir Eyal – Bill S, Dune --> Great Combo Nick K. – Bucker, Iron Man 58 --> Nostalgia Rick W. – Sim, Cerebus 15 --> Classic Indy Published/Unpublished Comic Book Splashes, Title Pages Nick Barry – BWS, MCP 84 --> Great run Albert G. – Kirby, Cap 200 --> Splashy!

7.0 on a good day, 6.5 comfortable This book has some nice Everett art in it!

I'm sure many of us would trade away our art to be 20 years younger!

140

Wow - this was so easy to do - thanks!

Ahh...Byrne MTU pages inked By Austin = Issue 79 only right? so is it really Austin or that it is a super cool Red Sonja story...either way it feels like an A+ situation...this list is going to get nuts if Hari breaks out every exceptional issue...but I'll live either way without a MTU 79 page

My gallery is pretty much all themes - although some of the unusual ones, the name actually starts with the word theme...once Bill added the by artist feature then organizing strictly by artist is largely redundant http://cafurl.com?i=23828 So not all of them but roughly organized by 1. Early Masters 2. Penciler / inker teams by scarcity (10 galleries) 3. Pure Everett/Pure Kirby/Studio Gallery (4 galleries) 4. British writers and artists (4 galleries) 5. 70s Nostalgic runs (6 galleries) 6. Themes - including baseball and music (8 galleries) 7. a bunch of misc galleries for the rest I actually do review these every once in a while to see if I can come up with a theme and ditch some of the generic categories Actually, when I get a new piece of art that fits in one of these galleries then it is likely to get posted but if it doesn't fit then it doesn't I recommend people use at least some themed galleries, it is a fun way to collect and have less expensive pages be even more attractive when they fit your collection best. Mark

MPH1964 is super courteous I feel is fine to say this shouldn't be slabbed for resale...common books under 8.0 are essentially 'reading' copies with little value difference between 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0 That said, if the back cover doesn't have moisture damage, FN looks accurate This is a fun story with great art!

2.0 - 2.5

Published Our Love Story 2 - Colan / Giacoia - 1970

Great work on the list. I do feel this is a key table and could be posted with the page 1 list...so some feedback on the lower end of the spectrum. 1. I feel the B range is a bit high 2. I like the low end of C at 0.25 but 0.5 is too high So a refined proposal - someone could actually use public results to 'grade' a few pages and create these guidelines but I just took a few examples in my head (including Gene's favorite BWS Conan) B = 0.50 - 0.75 C = 0.25 - 0.40 Of course, I don't remember how we defined a B or C page... Since no "D", I assume a C is essentially a placeholder page that the collector is actively working to 'upgrade" one day while a B is a nice representative example? Also, this is a pretty great list already and I'd recommend we not try to call out specific issues, etc - it will be too difficult to maintain and less accurate. Even A+ versus A++ is a bit much and I fear it may dilute that an A page should be a special keeper page - perhaps we need to define an A page a bit more tightly...I feel it would be the top 2 - 3 pages in a typical book...it is not an A minus. That said, if we can define A+ vs. A++ I guess it is just one row in a table. Cool stuff Mark

Looks pretty sharp to me - always needs to be reinforced that this is for A pages...would be cool to have some multiplier range for other tiers If we keep $3 - 5K, how about Giffen LOS Great Darkness Saga pages? 2X Kirby feels a bit high... A nit, I am not sure it makes sense to split out $125k vs. $100K...it is all you better do some serious thinking! Would be great to see the list alpha by artist - title Mark

Congrats - I still need this one!

Let’ see…really more of the same…I’m sure I’ll forget something but this it already too long Pages from favorite rare or scarce art teams: - Any Smith / Everett – Astonishing Tales 6 Ka-Zar story - Any Kirby / Smith – Captain America Bicentennial Tales - Select Kirby / Everett - Select Colan / Everett - Select Rogers / Austin – Detective, issue 475 page 3 would be nice The right Everett Dr. Strange page…and select Sub-Mariner…any Everett welcome 1970s Nova – especially pages from 10 and 11 (see my CAF) – Anything with Sphinx https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=2061 A nice Finlay Femme stipple I also am missing a page from several nostalgic runs, including: - Paul Smith X-Men page (1st run) - Rogers Dr. Strange page - Byrne FF (2nd run) And Impossible Man is always on the list In terms of buying vs. selling, I want to offset my art spend by at least 50% - this year I exceeded 75%. This is pretty easy to drive, you just have to sacrifice really nice art or price decent art sharply…ComicArt Live has been a plus here as it motivates me to take a careful look at the collection

Leno-mariner?

All copies of SM 22 have this per the HA.com scan I see....if you mean the odd dark inking

Presents well in the photo but is that a sub crease running down the middle of the book?

Ok - not a copy of Subby 50 but a page!

Not a one year goal but all Atlas with Everett cover and/or interiors!
