Aren't they just normal priced books to you???

They announced it when it went up for bid.. but if I was the seller I would be livid

Why Kinda? They said it was all romita when auctioning

I know it is an important piece.. but visually it is not very interesting. But I guess three people love X-23!

The Xmen 4 page went for less then I thought and the Killing joke page is insane!

Heights?

That darn frazzetta famous funnies cover always eludes me!!!

I collect octopus covers no matter the denomination

You sir are really tempting me..

JImbo... I may be in love with those last 2 FFs...

@AnkurJ were you looking for this?

I will take it at 640

Man and the Sentinels makes the most sense, But surprised no one mentioned Mr.Sinister yet...

I have an Adam Kubert page with a similar overlay to create an effect and never even contemplated cutting it up to "fix it" If any one wants to see here it is.. I think it is so interesting how they did this pre digital... https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1580752

Thanks Rich... I saw the lestat books and that is actually what made me think to ask about Ann.. there is one on ebay for not a lot but not a book I would prefer. I may just grab it since it is such an infrequent signature.

Cyclops always seems to get away with a lot of bad decisions..lol

Rich- I have another odd request.. any Anne Rice signature series?

Thanks! Sounds like we have a lot in common.. 175 was the beginning for me and it has been a love affair since! I would kill just to see your collection, and chat X-men and thanks for letting this one go.

I am over the moon today with excitement ... I just picked this page up from X-men 170 by Paul Smith and could not be happier. Paul Smith was the first artist I ever saw draw the X-men as a child and is basically how I always picture those characters so having a pice of art from his run has always been the dream. One small problem, finding one available is nearly impossible. A BSD collector friend of mine described it as finding a “hens tooth” ... and he was right I am not a long time art collector but in the few years I have been collecting I have seen 0 available... not on a dealer sight, privately or even at auction... and I have looked at a LOT of art: I can not think of one other marvel (I really only track marvel) run that I have not at least seen available.. it may have been grossly over priced or uninspiring but they have been out there. Not a PMS X-men Page. Until now: and only because of my very good friend @AnkurJ ... he knew I was searching high and far and randomly messaging people on CAF to see if they wanted to sell. So when another collector approached him about a piece he had, he insisted on getting this page as part of the deal with the sole intention of letting me buy it.. I can not thank him enough. now to the art.. a page from 175 would have been the ultimate prize as that was my first issue.. but this page from 170 is amazing! You may say it is a “talking heads” page as there is not spandex or wolverine drooling.. but to me as a life long X-men fan this page is SO important... this is when Cyclops and Madelyne relationship becomes real. It is essential the basis for the next 5 years of Claremont X-men stories... there would be no mastermind drudging up old Jean Grey wounds... or no First X-men marriage.. or baby or Cable for that matter! There would be no storm as team leader as cyclops would not have left.. or Mr Sinister .. or Jean coming back or X-factor .. or the mutant massacre ... or inferno!! The list is endless of what changes without this page!

Very fair prices.. I was looking at the byrne and the nolan pieces when you posted them. unfortunately the budget is burned for now.. GLWS

Congrats! Great Issue .... I always liked Alpha Flight too... I recently picked up a page from 64 myself.

I am only a referee here... like quality control.. a bystander among the take it titans above!
