    I dunno.   If that price was due to 'maintenance' you'd bid up slimer and stay puft more than terror dogs.   Sometimes its just a good result from a classic property.    I don't think ghostbusters concepts really need any 'help.'    Its possible of course. 

    I think Zuul the Gatekeeper was clearly doing some price maintenance. He's in cahoots with the Terror Dogs, they are his minions.

    I personally think the pool varies as a function of the specific piece

    Spiderman 299 cover - I am not in the pool

    Kirby Fantastic Four panel page with Silver Surfer - I am not in the pool

    Certain Peanuts Sunday strips - I AM in the pool

    Certain Romita Spiderman covers - I AM in the pool.

    Going 6 figures on a piece is beyond my comfort zone but for certain pieces I would go after them hard. 

    The pool is the same for everyone...

    Perhaps

    I really wish people would stop looking at the price of art and think more about the artistic merit of the piece. Then this sort of stuff would be much hard to do. Frankly, I think the piece looks stereotypical dumb, even if Hughes is a good artist.

    Still fugly.

    Oh yeah, the other thing is the page has not sold.  Like many of the attempted flips listed here.

    I once bought a page for $10 and I consigned it to CLINK and it went for $500+

    Malvin

    Actually, it did sell. It was relisted at $75 (higher) and somebody bought it. Congrats to the flipper for making a huge % gain and my condolences to the new owner.

  5. HULK VS. THOR try-out by Artist Unknown. Sold on Comiclink on July 14, 2020 for $1. Consignor lost $4 as Comiclink charges a minimum of $5 per listing for items that sell for less than $50.

    Now on eBay for $55 opening bid. 55x mark up. This could be a record for Flip-of-the-Day?

    Phil is a solid trustworthy source and very knowledgeable on Cockrum art.  However, asking one of the brothers about the legitimacy of an artist’s work is like asking Bernie Madoff for investment advice.  If someone doesn’t have firsthand knowledge from Dave or Tony concerning the exact extent of Dave’s contributions on this issue, then it is just speculation and opinion.  I will reach out to Phil to see what additional insight he might have on how much Cockrum contributed to this issue.     

    Rich Donnelly needs to ask his brother first.

    The devil bid was mine, and it was more than I really wanted to pay and a little more than I thought it was worth. Made sense once I realized I was bidding against a “dealer”. I actually like this one better, but I’m not bidding crazy just to outbid los bros, so I’m out. 

    Well, it looks like Los Dees won the other New Mutants #93 piece (same feedback winner as the other New Mutants #93 UNUSED cover art that sold previously on eBay, which will soon be ALTERNATE cover, with new/fake stats, which were never meant to be on the piece in the first place. #sad).
