    228K for TOS #39 with one of the best pages from Iron Man's origin seemed cheap compared recent 6 figure comic art.

     

    Nah, this was a huge sale! It’s  the highest selling page from the book to date.  Wait until the first appearance of the armor page shows up!  Or death of yinsen…9EB5F41A-BEF8-449B-B96F-953457C61B38.thumb.jpeg.3fed8c3907033b204d93b14f3a8626af.jpeg9F17358F-66C7-4F5B-B21D-1D2EC0E3F291.thumb.jpeg.09161ec09ef96965e6cbb4d250516250.jpegD3568C5E-C122-4DEC-BA09-C8B3A0C60B7E.thumb.jpeg.e3a6de2472f042f1ec6d77c1a347eb15.jpeg153D27D6-73AA-48AB-A7E2-221334CA46E6.thumb.jpeg.113a15c8cf9883d8d911835b23b3a4eb.jpeg

    Is the tos 39 cover known to exist?

    This is just a generalization, but approximately four years ago pieces during the heritage live auction only went up 40 to 60%. Lately, on live bidding day we are seeing pages and covers rise by multiples, 3×4 times and even five times is not uncommon

    I pray this trend continues, a crash/correction is not good press for enticing those OA flipper investors

    Yiqian Liu just dropped $170,000,000 on a reclining nude. He paid with his American Express Card and will get “free flights” for him and his family for life via frequent flyer points.

    I figure I can prove you wrong by using my IKEA Platinum Card to bid and win the Fantagor cover while receiving a lifetime supply of free Swedish Meatballs.lol

     

    The OA hobby better pray Mr Liu does not acquire a taste for comic OA......He could corner the whole market if he wanted to I think!

    Different strokes for different folks. This was an incredible memorable page from my early comic reading. I was in shock that Wolverine was losing his adamantium.  🤯 

    Exactly🙂. So much of our love for oa is due to the nostalgia factor , how seeing that OA rekindles those great ( usually childhood) memories

    I’ve always admired the Savage Sword of Conan covers by Earl Norem. I would love to get this one as it’s a favorite from my childhood. I’d hang it in the dining room behind my chair at the head of the table. 🗣 “Like 🔥 you will” I hear Mrs.grape protest.

    🍇 🦍 “But Darling think of the dinner conversations we’ll have with family and friends.Especially that queasy, delicate cousin Benji  of yours who passed out giving blood at the Red Cross.”

    🗣 “I am thinking about it a** hat.

    Great norem cover.......very underrated painter and dirt cheap compared to frazetta or Vallejo!

    Unpopular opinion

    Bolland’s Wonder Woman covers can’t hold a candle to Byrne’s

    Have to agree with BF Here, never thought Bolland a great artist ...not in the league of Byrne , Miller but to each their own....beauty in the eye of the beholder.

    I love trimpe art and yes it's pretty basic simplistic art and many think it's sh1te but🤷🙂

    No worries!

    I'd thought you may have been discounting it because it was a silhouette. Three times during the 2010's I lost on DK auctions because I wanted one with Batman fully rendered and didn't bid high enough.

    "I can't believe someone would pay that much for just his outline" I would tell one of my friends after each loss. Then each time he would laugh at me and say "You should have stepped up. It's Dark Knight Returns, and silhouette or not, that's Batman in costume"

     

    Those DK pages then we're selling for high teens,low twenties then?

    I'm scared to think what pages featuring the Batman Superman battle would go for today🤯
