Well I for one plan on fully taking advantage of my line of credit tonite! Good luck with the bidding in this evenings closes all!

Definitely on the low side; holiday weekend probably affected it. But it could also be the beginning of a price correction to pre-COVID prices. Or, people may also be coming around to the idea, at least in my opinion, that early bidding tends to drive up the final price more than late bidding. So, why give away money?

There was a lot of last second jumps in bid amounts taking place in 'session 1' on the comic side of their auction last week, many books hit record highs . Probably what will take place with the art. With the current state of the market/ society / current bid prices its tricky to forecast what some of these pieces will go at.

Completely agree. Have to think the holiday weekend is affecting things. Hopefully a deal to be had...

I was a bit surprised that they scheduled one of their closes on the comic side for this past Friday of the long weekend. But with the prices being so low, there's bound to be a lot of action come Tuesday night. 

I'm really surprised the Kravens last hunt page is only $10,500 given the last finish at heritage of a similar one and the movie news that just was announced..

For the OA I am watching, prices are real low.  I expect them to at least double between now and the auction closing

I noticed that as well .  Also as I was checking bids, I noticed the 'reserves' have now appeared, strange how they don't list them at the beginning of the auction 

what do you guys think about some of the prices so far with 2 days left?

Gotta split that into (2) camps. What I can afford | what I can't afford . In the afford category I like the Haunt Fear and Crime SuspenStories and 1st Issue Special. In the "other" category I like the  TMNT 1, FF 4, FF 48 and Geoff Darrow piece (which a bit surprisingly at the moment can move into the afford category). I also like the Bone 1, but as was touched on in this thread I have never really been into signatures as a rule (except for personal 'I was there' reasons is ok to me) and now I am even less so into them after recently reading on the verification process and crazy prices being attached to them.  

Being a new poster I wrestled a bit to post to this fearing someone (buyer)would be upset that I put others on the trail of something they wanted then I switched shoes and figured I may upset someone else (seller) by not putting people on the trail. So...  

The market for both art and comics has gotten pretty crazy lately, so 80% of the fun for me these days is just seeing the pieces come to market and the prices they sell for. I am semi-optimistic that 1 or 2 of my targets in this auction will fit my budget...

Those pieces you mentioned are very cool indeed. Lots of nice detail in that Geoff Darrow piece. Its hard to gauge where things will wind up at auction close, especially with art, with 9 1/2 days left, there can be a lot of movement!

Ah. That would explain why everything is signed within the margins. If you want to know more about Max Anderson, read the bio of Stan by Abraham Reisman that came out this year: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612238/true-believer-the-rise-and-fall-of-stan-lee-by-abraham-riesman/

Thanks, I just ordered it! I’m a big Stan Fan. It’s a shame to hear about his mistreatment. I just read up regarding the allegations against Max..... geez 

What are you folk's favourites from the auction?

Not certain on ALL the Stan Lee signed art being auctioned here, but a lot of them are from Stan's handler Max Anderson's collection. He was a controversial figure (to put it in extremely charitable terms) during the final years of Stan's life, and having access to Stan on a 24 hours basis for all intents and purposes facilitated so much of this signed art. There are many layers to this story that I won't get into, but these Stan signed pieces of art tell an interesting tale in and of themselves.

Ive heard rumors of such misdeeds, but never knew the facts, so always took it with a grain of salt. I met him once at Fan Expo in Toronto at a Stan Lee signing. He must have had access to some pretty choice pieces of art/ comics/ memorabilia  via his position with Stan meeting who's who in the comic business

another nice Lee page

Now that you mention it.....

I wondered where the thread was, there's some amazing stuff in this one!

I think this is the most stuff I've been watching in a CL auction so far.

And whew, a lot of my early tracking bids I was surprised were so high...

there is for sure a lot of really nice stuff. I'm not sure what I'm going after yet, but I liked the Spectacular Spider-man 132 pg 4 (Kravens last hunt page)...the only problem is that its the last item up (Zeck) , so if if the price goes wild on it , I don't want to 'miss the boat' on everything else! 

There's a few cool pieces up at comic links spring feature auction 

I like the Kravens last hunt page, pretty sweet!!
