Speaking of Kirby... Anthony tried to shop this for 18000 on CAL around a month ago. Don't know whether it is going to close that 15K gap by tomorrow...

Do you think the Bane pages were overpriced?
They felt that way but I mean the first appearance pages have a unique market I think

I continue to believe Harley Quinn has been undervalued for a long time her first continuity pages have been under valued for a long time to only recently be givin some love… I think with lady Gaga playing her will add even more depth to that character…

I think it’s super easy to overthink it.
There’s probably only one person paying these figures. I would guess the prices are more about what he’d pay and what the family’s reserves are than what the rest of the market does. At least for these giant price tag pieces. I have no particular knowledge of this and could well be wrong. That’s just my guess.
But with any auction you need at least two people willing to go that high

Since she does make a full appearance on rhe cover, I thought this aspect wouldn't count as much...
I bet the cover is a 500k-1mm piece is it in the wild? I have to imagine it was saved

I transitioned from Baseball Cards to Comics to OA. I feel like I have been conditioned to hunt the "rookie card" since the 80s.
Lol same here

Seems the average pages have definitely seen a major correction the great pieces seem to be holding or increasing… saw some of the walking dead con variants sell pretty light by solid artists great pick up to who ever got those… these auction houses need to get smarter and not do all their big auctions at the same time
-
I would value the piece less as it is less original just like “conserving” a comic I am not for it… I know in high end art they restore but it’s mostly cleaning…

I ended up selling 5 pieces and did pretty well. I felt everything I offered was reasonably priced. I saw a piece I sold in 2019 for $500 was listed for $3000. I'm not sure if it sold or not, but that's some serious markup.
I feel you I saw a piece I sold in in 2020 for 1900 sell for 7k not here but recently I know the pain

Traded a page to acquire a page once and the guy flipped my page about a year later for about 5x what he accepted as trade value from me then had the nerve to try to get another page off me didn’t even offer that page back and he knew I really liked it… really the only page I ever truly regret letting go now I do not do trades at all to subjective and I feel one side always gives a little more

Also just in general if you buy something 6-24 months and you sell usually you see a massive drop as it’s not fresh to market anymore… need to sell those privately and not on a public forum in my opinion

71% markup after 5 months... look, someone has to pay for Albert to go to Lake Como and mingle with George Clooney next weekend
Does Clooney collect comic art? Kinda cool if true

Nah, Rich people look at $1000 like I look at my payday. They don't just throw money away with abandon. It's how they stay rich. ;)
Believe me, if something happens and you NEED to sell, you are NOT going to want to sell below what you have in it.
Agree with you but I will say those times when a grail piece for you comes up I am sometimes willing to move things at or below what I paid because I don’t want to put new cash into the “wall” unless it’s it is truly something special to me

I try hard not pay a premium solely for lack of supply because the art will some day be out there and one day it will be all out there what I like is when it’s all on the market and the market determines it’s true value… like I do not believe supply for this artist will get less… don’t get me wrong like the art don’t love the price but hey if people will pay…

I can't help but think we'll all look at these prices in 2 years and be reminded of tulips and NFTs
100% agree so much better stuff out there at these price points

Why not put the pages up for sale on CAF (or here) at that lower bound +20% price first? I would be far more inclined to buy a page at FMV if BP was not included, and I am certain I not alone in that.
Because then it’s not fresh to market and if it doesn’t sell for the price you asked odds are at heritage it would go lower because it was just listed cheaper… huge risk
