The Giant Size X-men page going for 50 has me really curious... looking to see what the UXM 118 page does now, while keeping in mind a) the recent poor results for the Byrne UXM pages on ebay and b) Bechara listing an UXM 126 page for 65 right now

Agreed, although it should have a bit of a discount built in for being a page that wasn't inked by Austin... Byrne/Villamonte isn't the art dream team.

I was thinking the Paul Smith X-Men page would have gotten a lot more action. There wasn't that jaw dropping are "You're kiddin me!!!" moment that I've grown used to... which is a nice change!

shhhhhh

opps

It's almost go time... good luck today!!!

Remember "The more you bid, the more it's worth." 

That is a nicely inked Avengers page!

WOW!!! There's a lot of Alpha Flight fans out there, myself included, I guess the fact that it's from a key issue gave it a bump, impressive result!

Heritage posted the scan of the Byrne/Austin X-Men page, it's a very nice page.

Not ALL of the good Byrne X-Men pages are on ebay ; )

Thanks for the heads up, I submitted a report.

Watching the UXM 130 auction... I know everyone approaches auction bidding differently, but there is a special place in hell for those who run in small bid after small bid on large dollar items... like watching a real life Scrooge McDuck bid

These will be fun to watch, 3hrs left… there should be lots of fireworks, with the classic last second bids a flying!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… man I love Tim Sale’s art and would love to have that Hulk page in my collection!

This is very common and to be honest, I hardly ever notice the cut in panels on first glance.

They don't take away from a page's appeal in my opinion.

I take it Homer's not a Byrne fan?

52 Byrne pieces on Heritage ( link ) right now and the best bunch of vintage Byrne pieces on ebay that I can remember ( XMen 130 link XMen 124 link PMIF 50 link IF 3 Link ) if you are a Byrne fan you have many a target. With that many options there could even be a deal to be had ; ) 

I don't know the sellers... I just can't remember there every being this many pieces up for grabs.

Good luck to all you potential buyers, looks like that one ebay seller is going to be very happy!!!

How "hot" is Octomom if she only had two kids rather than 8?

She would then be Doumom

Fine, have a picture of me being allowed to hold a book I’ll never own at the show today:

 

OtherEric - look down my man, there’s a cool Byrne FF page below your hand!

Art Adams such an outstanding cover artist and he just keeps getting better and better!

Your friend has a great cosmic collection in addition to the great pieces above, I really dig his Byrne/Palmer Silver Surfer page!

I’m often struck by how many covers just sit there, not jumping out at me, definitely not making me pick it up and flip through it… kinda sad for sure.

BUT on the positive side I keep going to the LCS searching.

Here’s my rough superstar list (your mileage may vary)

Kirby

Adams

Sternako

BWS

Byrne

Miller

Perez

Golden

Art Adams

Jim Lee 

McFarlane

After Lee and McFarlane, who came along a sparked the comic fans interest?!?

Sure there are new creators that comic art collectors like, but are there names that the general comic fans seek out and seek out everything they create like happened with Byrne and McFarlane… where are the new superstars? It’s been a while.
