He’s on CAF, why not reach out to him directly and start a conversation. He likes discussing comic art with other collectors.

Not relevant, Because not all auctions/auction houses charge a buyer’s premium.

ASM 300 cover, etc…

This is what you’re complaining about? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 how petty are you???

Here’s a bit of information from the Pedigree section of CGC’s board: Considered one of the best Silver Age collections ever discovered, the Curator boasts an Avengers #1 in 9.4, an Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 9.6, an X-men #1 in 9.8 and a Tales of Suspense #47 in 9.9, among many others. The collection began in the late '50s and continued into the '80s, its condition peaking in 1962. They were amassed by an employee of a museum (hence the name), who stored the comics in tight packs on the museum's premises. John Hauser acquired most of them in the '90s but sold many without a pedigree identification. As a result some copies have lost their pedigree as the books do not have any distinctive markings.

Hi, all. I've got a few Venom Kitty pages for sale in the current HA weekly auction & next weeks' auction. Venom kitty, better known as the Sleeper symbiote, is the seventh spawn of the Venom symbiote, often taking the form of a kitty cat. Here's a direct link to the page at auction, ending Wednesday, Aug 10th. I'll have a separate posting for next weeks' page.

I realize that we cannot keep track of artwork prices for all artists, but the $150K offer for Burkey’s Hulk cover seems to be well within reason, considering the last time a Trimpe Hulk cover from this era sold publicly for $45K back in 2015.

But, if prices fell by more than 50%, I don’t think you’d be seeing the breadth and depth of the quality pieces that have come to market recently.

Hoping for some guidance from seasoned collectors. approximately 10 years ago, I purchased the Sandman/Morpheus bronze statue. it came in its original plain box, which is in excellent condition and I recall it was limited to less than 200 copies? I’m not looking to sell, but just wondering what the current value is?

Back in 2002, I won the original cover art for ASM 220 (Spidey and moon knight) and i saw that I had to outbid some heavy hitters (Albert Moy and Mike Burkey) to win it!

Ending today

On this book in this grade, WP add a $1K premium. It’s a tough book to get with white pages

So, the asm 50 in 9.0 with ow/w pages and 2 days to go before the auction closes (and a lot of bidding can happen during the last two days of the auction) is being compared with the 9.0 White pages copy that sold for $14.4K on Oct 31st as the outlier???

I think you did the opposite of fixing my post

I don't think many folks outside of this forum have heard of Usagi. By contrast, knowledge and recognition of TMNT is global. I can't see Albedo #2 being the next TMNT#1...ever.

Hi, all; Over the past few months, I've consigned several Mark Bagley pages for sale at HA's weekly auction. Often, the pages would contain Eddie Brock and/or a villain such as Kraven or Shriek. I wanted to bring this weeks' page to your attention because it features Eddie vs Carnage. The auction ends Wednesday, Aug 3rd, and you can view the page at auction directly here: Mark Bagley and Andy Owens Venom #25 (190) Story Page 23 Original | Lot #46009 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

I think its a good thing that all of the sigs cover Trimpe's artwork. He was far from my favourite artist

Agreed. Great selection of comics to choose from, and some excellent wall books were on display with some 'ambitious' pricing held over from 2021 peak pricing (ie. ASM 129 cgc 9.8 ow/w pages - two copies at over $15K. Last few sales are low to mid $9K), ASM 300 (all cgc graded copies were priced at peak pricing (ie. multiple copies of CGC 9.6 white pages at $2.4-2.6K) However, some dealers also had $2/$3/$5 boxes, and if you had enough time to dig through them, you can find some good deals, such as Terminator #1 in NM+ (1st print), Ronin #6 Mint ($2), Detective 500, 526 & 572 in NM+ for $5 each, etc. I won't even get into the out of print Manga books that my daughter found, but they were numerous and she paid a total of $20 for books worth nearly $1K on the secondary market. It was a good show, and I will definitely go again

Newsstand 9.8's are common books? When did the definition of hard to find change to 'common'?

9.8’s are $40K+ these days. I was at Terrificon this weekend and saw two 9.6’s, with ow/w pages from different dealers. They were each $15K+, which is wishful thinking, but there is no doubt this book is still very much in demand. Several mid-grade copies sold between $2-$3.5K

Yeah, the Spa is totally booked for the weekend, likewise any of the decent restaurants on site. The pool is great and so are the other food options throughout the casino. There are some outlet malls and beaches not too far away from the casino.

Wes Hagen???

Too bad…would like to meet you in person one of these days
