Only known page for that issue or are there a handful of others out there? 

I think 9 of the pages have sold this far, and the seller is already close to taking home 1.5 million 

if the splash page sells?  Or Heaven help us the cover?? The sky is the limit!

hooray for Don Heck by the way!  Huge number for him

Was that She-Hulk 1 page high or low?  I know it sold a few years ago but I can’t remember for what…

This one had the motorcycle in it. 

That’s a 20k motorcycle drawing!!

I always deal with Matt Griffin at HA, and he’s the best! 
willing to negotiate on seller fees and very fair with advances.

I still don’t know who the eff you guys are taking about 😆🤷🏻‍♂️

Who is the dealer from Boston? 

Seems like this is particularly Bronze Age DC

bronze age Kirby Marvel stuff (BP, Machine Man, Eternals, etc) still do well from my vantage point

but maybe I’m wrong?

I like Don Heck, but the artist listed could have been Roscoe P. Coletrane and it's hitting this number. 

Maybe?  I mean part of the reason the Iron Man mythology survived and became so big in pop culture is due to Don and his work.  The character may not have connected without Don as the artist 

I’m a big Don Heck fan, so happy to see a page of his hit such a high number!

I have about 15 commissions now.  I usually ask for characters I like that I associate the artist with.  I give very minor specifics  (usually I’ll suggest a particular era for example) and leave the rest to them.  I’ve never paid more than $250 (usually much less) and I’ve been pretty much thrilled each time!

some examples 

Michael Golden - Hellstrom 

Ramona Fradon - Scarlet Witch

Ron Frenz - Mr Fantastic

Bob McLeod - Rahne Sinclair 

Butch Guice - Scott Summers

Mike Vosburg - She Hulk

I also posted the update, that it was going to be a cover, on the social media page, and Rob himself gave it a thumbs up.  I suspect if I was wrong he would’ve corrected me

How exactly does this work?

I know Rob draws it out on paper then copies it to blue line and does all additional work (inks, color, effects, etc) on the copy.

so these pencils are the only pencils done for the cover.

I assume he had the copy on file and submitted it as a variant but not 100% sure how that all played out

( when I got it, I posted about it on social media and Rob chimed in.  Said he really liked how it turned out, the powers that be went in a different direction.  So I think he had it ready to go if another opportunity were to ever come up)

Just got this in the mail from Val Mayerik.  I love getting sketches of iconic characters from legendary artists

Interesting auction.  While the premium stuff had very little action, the low end stuff is very active. 
can’t speak towards prices, or whether it means the market is “softening”, just noticing how it’s a little different than the American auctions that seem lately to have a lot of action on high end pages while the mid-lower pages seem stagnant
