I have a cool Daimon Hellstrom commission if you’re interested?

Those 4 Marvel Super Heroes 18 pages went for 57.9k combined (with BP)!

I also think, it’s easier to assume you’re getting FMV (even when you’re not) in an auction as there are other people willing to pay at the level you’re paying for a said piece.

in a show or with a dealer, it’s easier to question whether a price is too high (even if it isn’t)

I think, with a big Heritage auction on the immediate horizon, people were more inclined to hold back and gamble later than pay these aspirational prices today.  Had prices been lower and had the event had more space between it and next weekend, maybe people would’ve been more engaged.

I bought a Ditko Daredevil 235 page last event, but it was aggressively priced to sell and I couldn’t pass it up.  I saw no deals of that ilk this time around

I saw a page from a key first appearance, and I also have a page from that book.  It seemed to be much higher than I would’ve valued it, but I’m hoping I’m wrong because that would mean my page is quite valuable! Watching it to see if it sells 🤞🏻

I've been checking their site the last five years....I never remembered seeing prices listed for art.

Are you sure this price was from two years ago?

Yep.  I requested a price on another ditko piece and they sent me a list of all of the ditko pieces they had, with prices. This was 9/23/20.

I will say the page I was looking at was 24k. I balked at the time. When I went back 6 month later it was 36k…

If I offer $150k, do you think I have a shot?

They were asking 175k two years ago…

The Jim 107 splash disappeared around 13 October I think

Guess they don't want to oversaturate the market......maybe they have concerns about the current state of the USA economy and how that may affect the auction

I think it got moved to the December/January auction

(pretty sure I bought the last available page from this book 🤣)

And, unfortunately, Silver Age and Bronze Marvel art will always sell for more than Silver Age and Bronze DC art

Yes!
It’s one thing to say Silver Age Hawkman pages are stagnant, but looking at Marvel pages, they’re still going strong.

Don Heck early Marvel pages, for example, are seeing huge gains

We talk about how hot the Bronze Age stuff has often become, while a fair amount of low interest Silver Age stuff gathers dust.

Not being facetious…

is there talk about silver age stuff gathering dust?  Certainly not Marvel hero stuff, at least not that I see

228K for TOS #39 with one of the best pages from Iron Man's origin seemed cheap compared recent 6 figure comic art.

Nah, this was a huge sale! It’s  the highest selling page from the book to date.  Wait until the first appearance of the armor page shows up!  Or death of yinsen…

Who out there is keeping their eye on this auction?

personally, there are 2 items here, that I’m more excited about, over anything in the Heritage auction.

The sub $10k pieces did well last night at Heritage. Market is 💪 

The Sal Buscema market continues to be on fire!

Is there a piece (or pieces) in this auction that people are monitoring to determine whether we’ve entered the downturn or not?  If so what are you watching and what number(s) does it need to hit or miss?

What if panels from a page you own are featured in Marvel Saga (the official history of the Marvel Universe)?

is that historic?

🤣🤣🤣

No different than the Steranko Nick Fury sketches.  But full disclosure, I have a Steranko Fury sketch and I love it!

Frank frazetta

barry Windsor-Smith

appreciate both as skilled artisans, don’t care for sword and sandal fantasy

My favorite silver age book is Avengers 9 by Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Ayers

my favorite Bronze Age story arc is Defenders 94-100 (here’s a page from 100 by J.M. DeMatteis, Don Perlin, and Joe Sinnott 

The Daredevil 235 page I got last month on ComicArtLive for $1,100 looks like a great deal when the prior (almost identical page) went for $2,400 today😀
