  1. Opps just realized a younger me already post up thread!
  2. Thinking about it, the Champions piece prob wouldn’t be considered a flip being that it was held for over a year.
  3. Jan 2022 on HA: tonight on ComicLink A surprising low result for one of the most memorable pieces from Byrne’s Champions run. Somehow it feels as if it flew under a lot of collectors’ radars!
  4. With the artist editions and marvel essentials, seems like a lot of source material for someone to scan and print on acetate and call it production art... too much smoke to be sure what is real. I see a lot of stuff that looks extremely questionable.
  5. Lets take what people like and make it better just like what Coke did when they up the ante and changed their VERY successful original fomula to a new one.... NEW COKE (which tasted like Pespi).
  6. Wow that was a wild ride, now I have to go and find out more about David Choe and his art... thanks Felix!!!
  7. Click on the Original Art category on the left side menu, that takes you the the auction's OA. OA category link I'm on a computer it may be a mobile issue.
  8. Man what a showing of killer pieces! The Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein illustrations were almost my favorites, but at the end of the day nostalgia wins, and FOR ME the best in show is: Steve Lawrence’s X-Men 102 slash by the great Dave Cockrum CAF Link Who knows what my childhood would have been like without Dave’s creations, would I have maintained my interest in comics without the dominos Dave tipped over with his contributions to the New X-Men? It’s hard imagine the X-Men without Storm, Colossus and Nightcrawler!!! THANKS DAVE!
  9. I didn't know Tradd Moore was old enough to have drawn a Beatles cover!
  10. Boo on any auction procedure that ends simliar to Hakes Auctions.
  11. It’s nice to hear from a dealer and an artist in regards to OAX. I have a hard time thinking of a show for comic artists and comic art dealers that would be better for their bottom line than this one! Talk about a very focused group of convention attendees. They are all there for your inventory not comics, not movie stars, not Funko Pop toys… the whole crowd is there to buy your stuff. I would think it would be as easy as falling off a log backwards to have a successful show. Kudos to Bill Cox for OAX, glad it was a success!
  12. WOW Alex, you have to be ecstatic about how nice that came out.. so cool! Allred always seems to hit it out of the park!
  13. VOTING IS OPEN! I worked my way through each of the categories and got all of my votes in, congrats to all the owners of these fine pieces, there were a lot of gems posted.
  14. Hopefully, the new owner isn’t a dealer who decides to fix it by replacing the stat with a new one: “Legion of Superheroes #1”
  15. All the episodes pre and post the X-wing auction are awesome, the funniest is the season’s final episode, where Dave and Ryan have their wives on to talk about the x-wing auction… heehee
  16. No spoilers here…. another great must listen! I enjoy all Dave’s podcasts, but these related to the X-Wing auction, it’s purchase and the auctioning of OA to fund the purchase are especially great… thanks Dave and Felix!!! Slight drift- My list of favorite X-Men stories has the X-Men Savage Land at the top spot (the Byrne/Claremont story of course).
  17. Dan, your friend is the shallow one! Keep it all as along as you can as you are now the EnlightenedDan
  18. Seems off to me as well, if the results were reversed it would make more sense. Perhaps it’s the fact Frank Miller crossed over into the Hollywood world - that puts more sizzle on his name, or the fact that DD was solely his vision and not a collaboration like Byrne/Claremont on X-Men. Frank Miller - Auteur (Stolen from Felix) may be the ultimate scale tipper for the big spenders. Both pieces are awesome BTW!!!
  19. There are some many of the same type of pieces it seems like an individual’s collection, I was half expecting to see a “from the collection of” attributation on these. The conventional logic says these should be spread across multiple auctions… or maybe it is, and these are just part of the collection?!?
  20. Oops I just zoomed into the wolverine cover - his claws are popped… now it’s undervalued ; )
  21. Cartoony style covers are hard for me to place a high value on, but I don’t dislike em. Scottie Young does have quite an enthusiastic following.
  22. Seems like Alex Ross may be losing a bit of steam (in this auction at least) Crisis on Multiple Earths #4 Superman vs. Captain Marvel Cover Original Art (DC, 2006) Alex Ross Amazing Spider-Man #790 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 2017)
