I just uploaded a fun page. Mr. Spock vs. Beast from the Star Trek/X-men cross-over comic by Gary Frank and Cam Smith! CAF Link Thanks for looking Malvin

This seems bizarre. It sounds like your item had no reserve? Finding out a reserve is the only reason I could think of as to why someone would bid and withdraw. Malvin

Hi Folks, I have another batch of art on ebay starting at 1 cent with no reserve! The items are: 1. Essential X-men cover, a UK reprint comic by Lee Sullivan. This issue reprints some Age of Apocalypse related stories and features Rogue! 2. Keron Grant Spiderman vs. Doctor Octopus page 3. Chuck Patton JLA page with Gypsy 4. Animal Crackers Daily splash with Elephant! ebay link Thanks for looking Malvin

just 1117R mylar sleeves from e-gerber. I buy them 50's. I also have other size mylar sleeves for other size art. I have some aside free boards but generally do not use them for the bulk of my collection. Malvin

you should create a poll... but mine are just in mylar sleeves Malvin

same here. Small item, but still, I would have saved $$

that one is not as crazy. It was an iconic image that everyone remembers and saw. Malvin

It was discussed in the HA results thread I think? The consensus was... drumroll... No one has any idea. My (not so helpful) guess is that unless shilling was involved, 2 people just valued it 10x of what everyone else thought.. Malvin

I thought this thread was about defining what B was? Malvin

I too think A, B, and C are all relatively and can't be defined by pricing or rigid definitions of context. Heck, you can even have A splash vs B splash on the same title and A panel page vs. B panel page on the same title. Here is a practical example, since the bulk of my collection is probably B (I suppose by definition very few people have collections that are mostly A). Kevin Maguire One Punch page (not mine) - A - CAF Link The page after the one punch page (mine), still lots of great content, but only a B relative to the one punch page - CAF Link Regards, Malvin

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/06/the-two-mystery-paintings-that-sunk-sothebys-stock.html I have heard of auction houses guaranteeing prices before, guess if they are wrong, it will cost them. I wonder how frequently that occurs in our hobby. Malvin

I asked Brian Peck the same question and he had no idea! On a smaller note, I'm scratching my head on a Dale Keown Dragon Ring page that sold for $264, those pages typically have a hard time breaking $100 at auction. Malvin

If it was me, and t was this hard to even start the conversation with them, I would just not bother. Imagine how the communication would be after you paid them when it's this hard when you are trying to give them money. Malvin

as well as a much bigger scan too (even if it is the signature only) Malvin

I think he means an art portfolio for DPS art Malvin

but its live auction, there can't be a previous bid at the same amount. Malvin

If this was eBay, there was an earlier 3120 bid, but it's clearly a glitch Malvin

here are the scans ebay link Thanks for looking Malvin

that was my understanding too until the other boardie mentioned the 3% extra. Either way, I had an artificial limit, although in some ways, that was kinda where I valued the pieces at. Malvin

yes, thats what I meant, the $2.5K limit before the 3% fee applies. I supposed I could have bid higher and pay the 3% surcharge but didn't want to. Malvin

Hi Foks, With all the HA excitement, I forgot to mention that I have auctions ending tomorrow. The items and current prices are: 1. Lee Sullivan Superman published page - $20.50 2. Al Rio Superman Sketch - $7 3. War Machine Panel page - $16.50 ebay link Thanks for looking Malvin

Bah, underbidder on the piece I was really after. There were a few pauses when I was winning where I thought I might take it. Funnily enough, my limit is actually HA's PayPal/credit card limit. I have a ton in PayPal and being in canada I just leave it in as taking it out means exchange rate costs (twice). If the limit was higher I would have bid more and maybe win! Malvin

The poster is at least equal if not better Malvin

errr..then why didn't you bid? It wasn't a secret auction. Sorry to be snarky but don't understand your post. that pice was for sale on ebay for a long time with a stupid price like around 20K or even more. hope the consignor was not expecting that. Malvin

sorry to hear. I noticed the Zeck, and it seemed soft. Malvin
