Thanks for the clarification. Didn’t realize HA was doing this

You’re saying There’s a $10K consignment value per item in order to be included in an HA Signature auction? never heard this before

Just to add my two cents into the mix… 1. The GL 195 is not a good comp for the Guy Gardner #1 cover. It is a significant issue whereby Guy Gardner is chosen as the Green Lantern of sector 2814 (Earth) by the Guardians, and it’s a role that Guy maintains for many issues. Additionally, 195 is a Crisis crossover, which may not mean much to you personally, but it was one of the major mini-series/storylines of the 1980’s and still means something for some collectors. 2. If you look at other Staton GL results on HA, they are not strong at all and further to point #1 above, the 195 result is an outlier 3. When I think of Joe Staton’s career, the first thing that comes to mind is his lengthy work on Scooby Doo, followed by his whimsically wonderful work on E-Man, and then his work on Green Lantern, Huntress, and finally his work on Guy Gardner of course, your mileage may vary

Agreed. Mike’s style evolved several times throughout his career. 1970’s style at DC was influenced by Wrightson and carried over to his early Marvel work on Micronauts, where it morphed into his hyper-detailed phase. Followed that up by going more cartoony with Bucky O’Hare (ugh!), Xmen Annual 7 and came to full fruition with his work on The ‘Nam. His style evolved yet again when he became Marvel’s art director in the late 1990’s

Art Adams came from the Mike Golden school of hyper detail. Mike influenced an entire generation of followers, including Art Adams. this Xmen Illo from 1981.

Aliens vs Predators page…

Went for $8.4K.

Romita JR ASM 36 (9/11 twin towers issue) original sketch cover

It was to sell another toy. Spidey action figure fits in the Spidey-mobile, as advertised in the comic books of the time.

Tom Raney X-Men page featuring 1st Lilandra

Yes, clink terms are 30 days for settlement, whereas HA’s are 45 days

I hear you…I was just using the JLA 195 cover as a comp. it sold last year for $288K

Whats the over/under on this cover hitting $300K?

Hiya folks: I've consigned some more great art for sale with Heritage. All items end Wednesday, Nov 22nd and feature main character(s). Here's a brief summary of the pages, along with a direct link to the page at auction John Romita Jr. and Scott Hanna Amazing Spider-Man V2#36 Sketch Cover - Signature Series Original Art (Marvel, 2001) CGC NM+ 9.6 White pages. This copy of the issue also known as Amazing Spider-Man #477 has a lovely illustrated tribute to the Twin Towers by Scott Hanna on the solid black cover alongside a portrait of Spidey by John Romita Jr. September 11th/World Trade Center story. The image of Spidey is much larger than the usual sketch image JR Jr illustrated and there are very, very few sketch covers of this issue that grade higher.

Nah, it would have connected with more collectors if it was drawn by Forbush Man instead of Don Heck

I think we're all used to seeing a run-up in prices a few days before live bidding on an HA Signature Auction, but with only one day to go, bids have barely budged over the past 5 days. Perhaps, just perhaps, this may be the time to strike and go for something that may normally be outside of your comfort zone. Who knows, you might end up with an awesome grail piece.

Sandman finished its original run in 1996; Preacher in 2000. wouldn’t exactly classify them as ‘new material’

I would add cleanliness to the list or at least an attempt to vacuum/mop the floors once a month, perhaps dust some bookshelves and countertops now and then?

I've been amazed at the incredible composition and dynamic linework of Raymond's Flash Gordon for a few decades now, but narrowing down prices has been elusive for me. Sometimes I think a piece will sell within my budget (it doesn't) and other times, I don't even bother to bid because i think the piece is so wonderful that it will surely sell for multiples of what I would be willing to pay...missed out on three wonderful pages by this way of thinking. Long story short, there's a very nice example in the Nov HA auction (at least I think so), and I would love to hear from knowledgeable collectors for Raymond's Flash Gordon OA...what is the expected price range for this piece. Please DM me with your response

Not just that, Mike, but why are pieces in the upcoming Clink Nov auction appearing in CAL searches (search by title or artist)???

Agree with Michael. To call the pricing aspirational shows great restraint. I did see some nice commissions/sketches priced fairly under $1K, but a lot of them are already sold so congrats to the buyers/sellers on those items 👍🏻

Ending tonight

Yup, UPS is the donkey’s rear end here in Canada.
