    The Agent Poyo variant! That's a really fun cover. My price range has me focused on Chu-centric interior pages, though.
  2. Mighty Hal
    Rob has posted a few CHEW pages on his site at $250 each. I'd prefer an original with a little more Tony Chu on it, but at around the same price point. Anyone have a page they'd like to sell?

    Beautiful work. Your tenacity paid off!

    Great images! Congratulations on adding them to your collection. For those OA collectors who hunt first appearances, how much importance is placed on ads or promotional material? Will a first appearance in a comic book be viewed as more or less desirable than an earlier advertisement or promo?

    To keep others from having to look this stuff up: Art by Pat Broderick, six issue series published by DC in 1986.

    I suppose it depends on whether you're buying the OA because of the art or as an investment. At that price, probably both? Let me share my view from the Morlock tunnels. I've never spent five figures on a piece of comic, but I've gone four figures a couple of times. One of those times, I bought a panel page from a smaller dealer; a Jaime Hernandez L&R page. A fellow collector emailed me a few weeks later, asking if I had anything new, and I was happy to share my prize. "I've been watching that," he replied. "I wondered who overpaid for it." His comments didn't diminish how I felt about the page, only how I felt about HIM. Years later, I still love the artwork, enjoy looking at it several times a month, and would be sad if someone else had overpaid for it before me.

    Gone.

    This summer, I inquired about this splash. $450,000. Free shipping.

    Dave Williams is such a talented artist. Type "David Williams" into ComicArtTracker, and you'll find some $200 pages at MGA (moregreatart.com). ComicArtTracker is a resource I use daily. Thanks, Nico!

    Well, a pre-auction estimate of $400k plus. On the Felix podcast, didn't Jim Halperin say they tended to lowball their estimates? Enjoyed seeing the photo. Thanks!

    I wonder if this will become the norm in the future. A couple of days ago, I emailed an artist to see if he still had the OA to a cover I liked. He did, but said, when the time came to let it go, he'd be consigning it to auction.

    I'm beginning to think all OA collectors are not created equal. For me, anything close to $10k is a high-end piece!
