I'm curious to know, how many times has this Bagley cover come to auction?

Mark Bagley and Matt Banning (as Batt - inked after publication) | LotID #59004 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

This one: Mark Bagley and Matt Banning (as Batt - inked after publication) | Lot #95016 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

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 had deep pockets back then; glad I dodged that bullet.

in 1990.....a guy in the CBG sold me the all Romita cover to asm #155 for 100 dollars....

I called him to say thanks when the art arrived......And he asked me if I also wanted this ASM 71 cover for 200.00. LOL

This was right after i bought the complete 20 page interior book to ASM 71 from Mitch for $800.

Funny story....

I went with the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7820 Wireless. Couldn't be happier. Thanks everyone on the topic. 

If Spencer was selling that entire issue for 30k? then I've would've paused and maybe thrown an offer....lol.

The seller will easily get his money back (well, depending what he paid for). There's just too many Spider-Man collectors out there. 

Not sure how I feel about Spider-Boy being as popular as Miles. The majority of collectors I know feel this is just a quick flip as opposed to enjoying the character itself. Not too many are happy with how the costume looks. 

   

Purchased my 2nd page in the auction. I'm now broke!

As a buyer, I'm loving the auctioneer. Hopefully she comes back. 

How much did that Jim Lee Hush page go for previously? Looks like a big drop.

The Capullo Batman #50 was being sold at $45k+ on another site. Went to auction and sold just for $26k. Crazy...

Congrats Alex, hoping you won it!

I did!!

I'm happy to say I won a page today. I was expecting it go a lot higher. 

I put in a test bid to see how long I'll be the highest bidder on one particular page. Sure enough within 30 mins I was outbid. It just tells me that the page I'm going for is expected to go pretty high. I'm hoping that's not the case. But it looks like that's where it's going.

Getting pretty excited! I know several collectors have been selling a ton of choice pieces to make a run at some of the art this week. Can’t wait!

Well hopefully there not making a run at what I'm going for....crossing fingers.

There's only one page I'm tracking on Heritage. Sure enough, it's a Byrne page.

Of course. Modern art is overpriced and about as good of an investment as a new automobile.

True, to a certain degree. I feel like artists such as Stegman, Finch, Fabok & DWJ can hold their value. Maybe not now but in the near future. But when you have Peach Momoko art going as high as 7-10k... not so much.

Had to sale a majority of my sketch covers. This officially is my last. Creees sketch of both Spider-Man vs Venom! Both penciled, inked and colored by the artist himself. 

$800 or best offer!

Ships Priority and requires signature. US Only.

Held out buying any pages from this auction. Due to a bigger page, I'm looking over at in Heritage. 

Not sure how many times I've done this method. 

Prices are off to a strong start for the late March auction. Hoping to get at least one page. 

I'm seeing a lot of decent prices on Skottie Young art as of late. His Secret Wars Variant Cover #9 sold for $2101. I remember seeing that cover sale in Heritage a few months back for I think $3500+. Not sure why they decided to flip it right away.

Flipper All Day!! 

Not sure if this has been posted before. I'm looking for an affordable (if there's such a thing) scanner for Original Comic Art. I've been buying high end pieces and wanted to start posting it on CAF. 

I was hoping to find something that scan up to 11x17. 

Any recommendations.... 

I did laugh off the price of ASM #300 when I first I saw it. But then again, is it really that crazy? If a Secret Wars page can pull in 3 million plus. Why can't this sale for 5 million?

Not naming names but someone bought a commission homage piece for $7500 (charity) a few months ago. Then, I see that same piece posted today for $30,000 by the same buyer. It's not even published...
