A few items I was watching but no big bargains IMHO.

This one surprised me a bit.  Higher than I expected by 2x

I'm happy to say one of the pages you mentioned here I won! I was expecting the worse, but it ended up little lower than I thought going in.

The Red Monika Battle Chaser's piece was listed for a whole lot more on the dealers website. I think the seller took a big hit. Considering the hammer prices for Battle Chaser's pieces at the most recent ComicLink auction, it seems there's not a whole ton love for them.

The Olivier Coipel Black Cat #2 Variant Cover that went for $6300 w/BP. I believe that was sold on another dealer's website for around $15k. Yeah, that one hurt!  

These auctions had my heart racing that's for sure.  Especially when a page comes up that you really want. 

They're really dragging that Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke Superman: The Man of Steel #21 Cover ...Geesh! 2 people must've really wanted that cover. 

I went after the Jim Lee Fantastic Four DPS page...fell short. I thought that would go a lot higher.

Barry Smith Weapon X page -- $93,000

Thats low right? I thought it would go a little higher.

No Ghost Rider image on the page. 

The 50k page didn't have a Ghost Rider image either. 

So the Mike Ploog Marvel Spotlight #5 Ghost Rider went for $32k w/BP while another page went for 50k a couple of years back. Prices dipping?

Was the Byrne panel page X-Men cheap?

 

It did and the Cockrum went low as well. 

Maybe I'm in the minority. But I try not to check auction bids till the week of the auction. I don't want to let the crazy bids discourage me from following certain pages. And I have quite a bit tracked in Aprils HA. I feel like a lot of pages will go high in this one.

Does anyone know the final hammer on that 1970’s Cap page in the CLink auction? 

CAPTAIN AMERICA #205 PAGE 16 
Current Bid: $11,250
Number Of Bids: 62

I was curious about this page. This one sold back in 3/3/20 for $7566. Then on 6/7/23 sold for $9601. Then came back again and just sold for $11,000. At least it's going up. 

 

Defintiely looks like a great time!

Hoping to plan a trip for next year!

Thanks for sharing!

I was all in on CGC sketch covers for about a good 10-month stretch back in '21. Had some gems during that run Jim Lee, David Finch and Mike Zeck. Probably the best piece was the Neal Adams sketch I bought on eBay. Sketch covers were all later sold to help out on my OA addiction so to speak. No regrets here.   

Whoever sold that Joe Quesada Batman Illustration ($6500 w/o BP) took a huge hit. I remember seeing that on Kwan Chang's website. I believe it sold at 15k. 

So, the Liefeld Captain America pinup is going to be a high-ticket item?

Yes, I believe it sold for around 4k in the last 2 years but wasn't described accurately, so the buyer canceled and it was auctioned off for half that:

("I won, but later cancelled because I found out the inks were done after publication. It was later auctioned off again at half the price...

I contacted HA directly and sent them links from Banning's Instagram post mentioning the inking process over Bagley's pencils. It took a few days, but I was able to retract my bid.")

Yep, I went after the other commission ink piece. But cancelled after the fact.

It is still original pencils by Bagley, and I think It might have gone cheaper if it was pencils only, but it would have been much higher with original inks. So...a bargain  

It's a nice-looking piece, nevertheless. 

It was original pencils by Bagley. Now, it's considered a commission piece IMO. But congrats to the seller. I thought it would go half of the 11k price tag.

$31K for the Frenz Spidey page...impressive result!

I really wanted that page. I was hoping it would stay below 22k. Couldn't do it at 30. 

Moving on to the next auction. 

The Jason Fabok Batman #21 Watchmen Button Flashpoint cover's stood out. A seller had it at $40-45k, and it sold just under $15k.

I believe you won it at HA then cancelled? 

I contacted HA directly and sent them links from Banning's Instagram post mentioning the inking process over Bagley's pencils. It took a few days, but I was able to retract my bid.
