  1. to me it is interesting that the increase in the number of auctions HA is now running really doesn't seem to have hurt them. for the material that i look at, most of it seems around where it should be and some of it on the higher side of normal. in general, no real bargains not no real headscratchers either.

     

  2. UPDATE: The Zeck Punisher has SOLD

     

    For sale are some IDW Artists Editions that I have. One is the Mike Mignola Hellboy in Hell and other stories. This one is numbered 57/125 and has not been removed from the box- the photo supplied here is a "stock" photo as Mike drew virtually the same image 125 times. The second one for sale is the Mike Zeck: Mavel Classic Stories. Also remarqued, this one is numbered 71/100 and has been opened. the sketch is of the Punisher- I was hoping to get Captain america but that did not happen for me unfortunately.

    Hellboy is 600 dollars and includes shipping.  The Zeck Pnnisher is 325 and this also includes shipping. I will ship overseas but shipping would be more (I'd have to get you a quote).

     

    Thank you!

  3. for the material that i follow- the stronger, more desirable pieces, things like the byrne ff page, the buscema ff 112 pages, etc..... i was very surprised at the final hammer for the j g jones black widow cover. everything else was kind of blah. it was a buyer's market for sure. could be that what gene says, that the market has cooled for non-A material.

  4. As far as dealing with the auction houses themselves, that has gone quite well. Every one has been very professional and helpful and flexible with me so no complaints there.  As for the actual auctions themselves, that is another story. While it can be debated as to the quality of the material I have submitted to them, in my mind, in general, the pieces have all been at least respectable and probably deserved better fates. If I was not able to negotiate waiving the BP with heritage, I would really get hammered  but even with that, my results, in  my mind, are at least 15-20% below expectation, in general. I have also done much better in private deals.  I am constantly amazed at the prices some pieces get (which mine don't)

  5. I guess it tells you that you should always think about a reserve on something that is not slam dunk A-material. That was a great piece and deserved a better fate................... that poor guy probably is devastated but HA got their cut so they moved on..................
