Not sure if understand what you are saying here. Only 2 ways I understand that comic link would show as a sale pending with a price.

a) it was sold at auction and the buyer did a check out

b) it was sold on the exchange and the buyer did a check out 

So I would guess that this piece sold for 29k at some point before today.

Yeah not sure but I would assume if it was sold it would say sold but either it’s value hasent changed in a year and actually has gone up a little I would take those return compared to all other assets since Feb of last year

You mean this one?  Looks like it resold for 29k before selling for 18 today.

Pretty sure that was just the ask the sale pending I think meant they sent it to be auctioned

Sad I missed that clay Mann cover although unused was a beauty and decent result for that Harley first appearance page with a microscopic Harley in the corner still a nice page with joker and Batman and Harley but got the page I really wanted on Friday so I’ll take a win

The robot auctioneer better then that one person who was going so fast on Friday

Thought the last Ronin pages went for a good price for the buyers especially since that story line is so popular could see that turned into a movie some day.

Pretty slow start.

Agreed hoping it stays this way might be able to get a piece or two

I would be scared if I was the consigner of that hush page only at 11k roughly when they paid roughly 66k for it… tough to flip when it was just bought less then a year ago

Alex Saviuk just added art to his CAF gallery.  Check out his asking prices.

The cover is probably the best deal.

Usually have decent luck doing auctions this way just has to be in demand items… best results were in middle of the road stuff.. I find I make more on eBay then some auction houses I have sold… sweet spot 500-$3000 pages 

Oh and also needs to be fresh or semi fresh can be something that’s been sitting on eBay for like a year

That’s an eBay $1 start and no reserve  result.

Still pretty low but I doubt it stays there at least with eBay no buyer’s premium. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155396657885?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=l1XPYyskR-2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=l1XPYyskR-2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I'm a huge Skottie fan and I actually really like this piece and I agree 100%. It's a great pickup if you're a die hard Skottie fan, I think the price might have been a little low, but not much. I passed on this one since I was going after something else.

Yeah I was going to bid but forgot the auction was ending yesterday wish they would give texts that the auction is starting or if you have been outbid and yeah it’s not a great cover 

I know this has been discussed before but wow some deals on comic link at least I see them as deals a scottie young cover went for 350 bucks…. Feel bad for that seller

Well if it makes anyone happy I literally did not vote for any of the images above not because their not great just because others caught my eye 

I think that went for a very healthy amount I wonder what that page would have done if it was a hush splash!

Isn’t the better comparison comic strip art? We’ve seen a wholesale collapse in relative comic strip art values after taking account gif inflation, with the exception of some particular strips. And the trend has been away from nostalgia and story content buying to pure aesthetics. PPL nowadays collect Prince Valiant because the art is amazing. Same for Raymond Flash Gordon strips or Winsor McCay strips. Will that eventually play out for Comic Art? 

I don’t think so could be wrong here but some artists for comics like Frank Miller have been exhibited at the Louvre maybe some comic strip art has as well but not that I am aware of. Some comic strips do have some staying power such as peanuts but comics are known globally and I still think the market will grow as more and more people find out you can own the original pages. What I am concerned about more then the above is artists are going digital and I don’t know if this will make originals more or less valuable or have zero effect. But either way I collect what I love and display important pieces I love so the value although nice and some what important is not the primary driver. My favorite pages I wouldn’t not let go for any amount of money… well maybe not any…:)

Would love to add a Jim Lee X-Men page this year… or early Andy K

Wow! I'm shocked.  Just so I am clear, these pieces didn't sell, and you sent an inquiry with a question or an offer off their listed price?

I guess it's just me.  I almost always respond. Even on CAF when people lowball me on NFS pieces I send a polite reply saying it's NFS.

Malvin

Same yeah their were two pieces I sent stuff on as well no response I assume a lot of art does sell on there that is not captured by the reporting… sellers being lazy  I bet the reported sales is far less then actual my two cents 

Added two pages I have been looking for a solid page from the The Last Ronin (tmnt) and a New Mutants dps can’t wait to get them on the wall. Both sellers were great and we worked out deals for both love the event overall as it’s kinda hunting just like any good con. Some stuff pricey some stuff priced a little high and maybe if you wait till the end of the show you get the price you were comfortable with. I love the here is my price to get this off my wall approach as well I wish people would do that with some Tony Moore WD pages  

For me posting on CAF does a few things one I like the community aspect of “wow nice pick up” and have interacted with some really cool people. But the selfish reason I like to post is so that people see what art I collect and if they have something in that realm a lot of times they will reach out… beats fighting in an auction and allows for trades to potentially happen… the digital art cons have been awesome found a few pages and list some pages I want to let go to upgrade … final thing I like it because it allows you to see who you are buying/selling  from/to and how active they are in posting makes it a little easier to vet a seller/buyer like if I am buying a middle of the road page from a seller but the person has a 50k page I doubt he will screw me on my lessor page I am buying or letting go to upgrade
