    Have to say I disagree strongly with both of these assessments.

    Not sure where you're getting your Byrne comps from but the last Byrne X-Men page was better imo and sold for the exact same price (81k). And before that, the one in 2023, was much better (with prof x and the whole team), and it sold for 90. Where are you comping that this was a 30k discount?

    And same for the 252 page. There was one crazy day where 2 black spidey pages sold super high. Outside of that day, if I told you that a 252 page was going to sell for 174k, that would be a HUGE number. Where do you see anywhere except for that one crazy sale of 2 pages that this isn't a GREAT number? 

    Sounds like you have a narrative ready to go and you're bending the facts to fit it.

    The X-Men page sold for close to expected. The ASM page was a WOW sale.  

    Fisch, its fine to disagree and discuss.  the last time somebody disagreed with me regarding my comments on auction results for OA, I spent considerable time preparing my point by point response and the result was a lot of agreement.

    I base my comments on numerous factors, as you do with yours.  Given I am not in the best of health, I would be happy to discuss with you at a later date, point by point.

    FYI, the last Byrne X-Men page sold for $56K, if I recall correctly.  Perhaps you are thinking about another one?  Most Likely the page from X-Men 137?

  2. Thus far,

    sal Buscema Cap 137 cover sold for the same price back in 2019

     

    Byrne Xmen page went at $30K discount

     

    Frenz ASM 252 page … a steal at $174K

     

    Hannigan Spec Spidey 64 complete interiors average $7.4K per page seems strong 

     

    Heck ToS 39 page - congrats to the seller!

    Romita Jr DD 254 cover seemed light by 25%
     

    Eisner stuff - good to see prices reflect the importance of his work

    That flip didn't work. $750K is down $60K from the $810K paid the for same book, presumably by this seller, less than a year ago.  

    Reminiscent of the flipper who got only $1.5M for the All-Star 8 in January of this year which had been purchased a year and half earlier in June 2022 $1.62M.  

     

    Thanks for posting this…the result seemed light to me

    I thought the same last time....:cry:

    I hear you, but I have a feeling this time will be different because this auction is the first whereby there will be only two days of OA auctions and I think a lot of folks will forget about that

    So you would pay $75 extra for getting in a half hour early each day and a t-shirt, tote bag and a print.  I'd not do it currently to get in a half hour early since the room is huge so everything won't be picked over when the regulars get in and it's not like there is a new hot book you will be running around the room looking to pull from boxes.  So is the other stuff worth $75 is the question.  My answer would be no for me.

    Ah, but you’re just looking at it from one perspective.  Let’s say you want to hit the OA dealers or perhaps get on an artist’s sketch list?

    that extra 30 minutes can make all the difference between a successful show and a disappointing one

    Well said... I agree entirely.  There's no point to a 9.9 pre-screen... based on the rarity of getting 9.9s with the countless 9.8 pre-screens that have already been submitted, the cost/benefit simply shouldn't be there, UNLESS you're moving the goal posts. 

    Well, it’s been how many years since an ASM 300 has received a 9.9, yet tens of thousands of copies were submitted for grading during that period? 🤔
