$25K hammer - Spy vs Spy from Mad #60 Mad #60 was the first issue Spy vs Spy appeared in. Two were in the issue, one complete one (made up of a 6 panel gag and a single top panel) went for $11K in 2006. One in this auction was only the bottom 6 panel gag, top single panel was not included.

Hoarder!!

HA used to have a location in San Francisco that I could drop off art to, no more unfortunately.

HA needs to have an address to ship art to that USPS people do not know the destination is an auction house. Instead of Heritage Auctions the name on the address should be Human Waste recycling. No one would steal that package.

The exact same thing happened to me the month before. I sent a Ghost Rider page to HA and the artwork was never delivered. Last place it was scanned was the USPS facility in Texas just 20 minutes from HA. Still no sign of it.

I was sad when they stopped including a DVD with auction scans. I did finally contact all the auction houses and requested them to stop sending printed catalogs. I never read them, they just go into recycling. website are so easier to use for checking out what is in the auctions.

I still own the DVD with the scan of the SS cover Ha sent with the printed catalogs.

The Oversized Silver Surfer #1 color recreation hammer was $41K bloody crazy. SS#4 was the cover John recreated the most and SS #1 was probably 2nd most recreated cover by him.

This from the guy who hoarded Vampirella at one time.

Nice art but those pages are NOT inked by Nestor Redondo.

My one pieces of Marvel Card art is Jean and Scott Wedding 3 card set by Bob Larkin. The cards were bout into X-Men #30 comic book. It was at SDCC about 20 years ago I discovered the original painting by Bob while wondering the isles on the hall floor. A dealer from Europe had a variety of books, toys, art and other misc stuff. He had two Bob Larkin X-Men card art paintings, I bought the Jean and Scott Wedding painting and the other had Professor X and some of the X-Men. To this day I always check out each isle and dealer at SDCC just in case they have some random pieces of artwork.

Won the Gil Kane Morbius fighting Werewolf from Giant-Size Superheroes #1

Bloom County with Bill/Trump in every panel went strong $3100. Best Bloom County I have seen in a long time. Loved the Bill with Trump's brain series.

When they do that its just a scam, and the smuck who paid $1500 realizes he has been conned.

On HA I track artwork and place bids. I place bids on the pieces I my bid on, the tracking is more to see what a piece ends up at. Especially if I own a similar piece and want to see what the auction market for my pieces could be.

Enjoy. Glad you have the vhs to go with it.

I would like to get rid of the pieces with zero value in searches. That should be an easy thing for Bill to filter.

Of all the pieces offered on ComicArtLive 50% were $500 and under, while 80% were $2500 and under. Doesn't sound like people were priced out. Its a variety of things, people have specific tastes and didn't find something they really wanted. Some might have just used they wantlist to search, missing art they might want but didn't do a search for it. Auction have pieces starting at 0 and being bid up, some once people start bidding most art will sell with the exceptions of the ones that have reserve which is rare. There are also some people who will only buy thru auctions. As others have said, ComicArtLive only got a small part of the collectors on CAF. I think CAL is well worth it I sold some art and bought some and was fun to look thru all CAL art. Some art I didnt buy I have examples of, others price higher than I want or other art I am not interested in. I also came across some art I was not familar with, one pieces I purchased.

Heritage picks and chooses what art they think will sell. On CAL, people posted art they wanted to sell, that effects what sells. Besides on auctions people bid up to a price but CAL is a fixed price, another reason all pieces do not sell on CAL. HA and CAL are apple and oranges.

Saturday I sold two pieces, my cheapest and bought one piece of artwork, from a series never read and artist never heard of. It was the inking that really grabbed me. But nothing I on my wantlist the first day. Second day had one offer (considering it), bought three pieces. One I had been watching for years since it was posted in CAF and the other two are great by two artists I really like. Sunday had more pieces I selected "SAVED", not as much but more interesting art I considered buying.

I would love to own the original art for Wally Wood’s Disneyland Memorial Orgy poster. Paul Krassner commissioned it as a centerfold for a 1967 issue of his “The Realist" magazine

Cool, What year?

What got me thinking about this was the cover I recently acquired by Alan Davis. The cover gives you most of what is going on in the story, Its a Nightcrawler story, in a place where nature has taken over, two old teams-mates appear and you see some of the villains and its a bit of a mystery. Granted Alan drew the interiors so he has an advantage over over artist who just draw covers. No action but a great use of light and shade plus conveys the story.
