There are a lot less early Strange Tales on the market than there have been over the last few years.

Thought there was a D&D thread but I can't find it.
Quite the result here.
Early D&D loose prelim, 10k
One of my friends got the D&D Basic Set for Christmas in 1982 and it came with this module. My very first D&D campaign which lead to close to 20 years of playing. Unfortunately, my group disbanded in the very late 1990s and that was the end for me.

I would also be interested to what the best alternative is. I guess that with the new boards we can post directly here.

I haven't seen you in years. Too bad I missed you (it's Brad).
Hi Brad,
The show is pretty big and it's easy to miss people. Now that they don't have the smaller shows I don't see the locals as much as I used to.

I bought six WWII era Superman comics (numbers in the 20s and 30s) from Harley for a pretty good price after the discount he gave me. I love buying raw comics in person.
I found the floor area to be bigger this year. I was there for 4 hours on Friday and between standing in line for three autographs, attending one panel, and spending a lot of time with Harley, I only saw about 10% of the show.

Jungle Comics 150- 7.5- $220
De-slabbed CGC. Only 3 higher. Beautiful book. One of my favorite bondage covers in the Jungle series. 7.0 sold for $200 a couple months ago.

How bad are the COW pages in this comic? The back cover doesn't look bad at all.

I completed an NYU program in Art Business 5 years ago. One of the classes I took was Art as a Financial Asset, and the prof broke down all the fees & commissions that go into selling a piece at auction. Bottom line? We are totally spoiled in comics and comic art. It may not get the headlines that the Sotheby's and Christie's evening fine art sales get, but, there are lower transaction costs and a lot more liquidity than in fine art. When you look at illustration art, as you noted with the LOTR resale and Bronty did with his Elvgren observation, you see the difference in liquidity that the removal of one buyer (the previous winner) can make, plus the impact of the higher commission costs.
Aside from that, though, as a general observation, it seems as though interest in Heritage's illustration art auctions has waned over the past couple/few years. Part of that may be that, when the crux of the Martignette Collection was auctioned off, it generated its own heat (which has since dissipated). I wonder if the market for much of these sub-genres has aged out a bit as well? Of course, we know that Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon was an active buyer before he sadly passed away. Also, I would imagine that many collectors (including myself) largely got their fill of what they wanted. But, of course, the auctions keep coming, and so price has to drop to clear the market (much as I expect will eventually happen in our hobby sometime down the line).
The size of the Heritage Illustration Art auctions has certainly decreased since the Martignette Collection finished up. Definitely not as exciting as when the collection was rolled out.

Are there ever any FH covers for sale? I can't remember seeing one, but I don't follow the market that closely.

Yesterday the Tec 38 CGC 3.5 went for $35,000. In the last CC auction a 3.0 went for about $50,000. Crazy how prices can vary!!!!!

I took a risk and bought this on eBay assuming the marks were mold caused by water damage. I received it yesterday and I'm pretty sure it is mold. I'm going to take it to a framing place near my house that sends things out for cleaning. I had a good experience getting a Decarlo piece deacidified (i.e. detanned). I'll post the results when I get the piece back. If it works I'll be way ahead on price as I paid $375 and these Decarlo Humorama cartoons seem to be selling around $2,000 in good shape.

I really like this art. The GCD says it's Rudy Palais and Maxwell Elkan. I have to admit I've never heard of them.

Page is a little trashed but it's from Rangers 12. Nice page with all the usual suspects
It looks like the page got wet and moldy. I bet you could get that cleaned and it would look pretty good. I guess that it could be ink; then you're out of luck.

Agreed; as a group, SA Archie keys are underrated, imo
I'm not familiar with Archie. Why is this a key?

Tec 38 in CGC 3.0 sold for $54,000. I guess that Robin is finally getting some respect.
Tec 36 coverless sold for $2,100 and a Tec 35 coverless sold for $6,200. Why would you pay more for a coverless copy of a classic cover book than a coverless copy of a non-classic cover? Probably because of the splash page???

In the GCD it says this is Lee Elias, but the dealer who sold it to me insisted it's Bob Lubbers. I'm not good enough with artists to be able to tell the difference. Does anyone have any opinions?
