NC101

I'm wondering if there's any resource where I could look at how a particular issue's worth has changed over time, like what it was worth in 1980, 1985, 1990, etc. Does something like that exist, or would I be better off hunting down old price guides?

Oh you mean like what an auction house might do?

No, not significantly less.

I've sold pages for up to $15,000.

What is it that makes this page more expensive than some others that sell 4-6k? 

This is the one I was watching that really surprised me ($9600 all in), I thought Sin City pages usually sold for significantly less.

Chapter 2, pages 1 & 2 from Matt Lesniewski's The Freak:

I think Kevin lists most things this way as a way to show his collection is fluid. I don't see this as an intended quick flip for profit and I notice a few other CAFers list art similary (not for sale but will listen to offers - type advertising in the For Sale Status section). 

My bad, then

1. Brunner

2. Lee

3. Kirby

4. Granov

 

Thoughts?

 

I'm going Buscema, Sienk, Kirby, Granov

I have it on good authority that HA will offer to give each buyer, who spends more than 100K USD, a bottle of hand sanitizer and three N95 masks, which cause a last minute spike in bids.  

Aren't there a lot of buyers in China these days? Could be a solid sales strategy

As a huge Sam Kieth fan this is very painful 

I'm jealous 

Thanks for the tip - I just want it to be flat so restoration/no restoration  Weird that anyone would consider it restoration because that can just happen by accident anyway

An idea I had if I get commissions, artists designs for Swamp Thing drawn as if no one had ever drawn him before and they were the original artist just given the concept

This is by Brendan McCarthy, from Dr. Fate #18 - this is a great thread idea! I love psychedelic art

Slightly revised for easier placement suggestions

Alex,

i was thinking about this topic yesterday, as I was reading the Spencer thread. For me, Spencer and the D-Bros are the extreme ends of the OA dealer continuum- 

Spencer: high ethics, horrible communication and website and general sales/inventory management. But- fair pricing 

Donnelly’s : very responsive, but corrupt AF for all the reasons this thread mentions and ridiculous pricing.

Everyone else falls in the middle - Blackline Fever closer to Spencer for example.  I would put Anthony in the middle - Mitch? Burkey? 

Ideally you could scatter plot this into quadrants on an x/y axis - but I can’t decide what each axis represents as I almost need a third axis to capture ethics, pricing, & communication/general business professionalism.

but @alxjhnsn this sounds like just the kind of business analysis you were born to do!

I'm not sure the character

But they make comic boxes for raw comics that the box itself has the artwork, I have a Phoenix myself

 

That makes sense, I bet that's it - the character's Chamber, he is/was an X-man

Thanks! I have one itoya, maybe I'll put it in there and keep it stored under some books or something

I received a page in the mail that has a large crease through it (post office's fault), I was wondering if anybody has any advice for flattening it? Everything I can find on google seems to recommend ironing it, which makes me a little nervous.
