The Rob Liefeld pieces seemed considerably low as well. 

still have that what if page with the valentino breakdowns and williams inks coming!

the film had an art and graphics team. If using AI to get the one interstitial image was their decision, and made in order to keep an artist working on something more important, it makes perfect sense. It is a tool. if the art department uses a tool to stay within budget/work on something more important, it makes perfect sense. If corporate suits demand using AI to replace hiring an art team, that is a problem.

that being said, good movie. enjoyed it alot.

Almost no one who consigns on Heritage pays full boat.  At a minimum, you should be able to negotiate away the 10% seller fee.

10% is already a discount. Last i checked it starts at 15%

hit a little hiccup placing some bids, but looks like its all good and off to the races now!

Ah, I must have clicked on a link that selected only the Gaiman- related items.

they are all from his personal collection.

it looks pretty cool, a ton of original art, i also got this invite today-

I dont think they will be doing this in the comics auctions. The "entertainment" department is it's own thing with the toys and pokemon cards and stuff.

Alex Johnson has a really good list of how to value your art.  It's pinned on the boards here somewhere.  Sandman has been on a roll recently on Heritage, with earlier pages bringing from around $2K to astronomical numbers.  There are two Zulli pages with the new Sandman coming up for auction on March 14, which should give you a solid idea.  Pluses to this page - Title page and its the original series.  Zulu's pencils are always beautiful.  However, it is later in the run, it's a set up shot, and there are no characters or dialog. (It is a beautiful page, though).  My guess, would be in the 2-3K range.

I dont know if those pages will be a good barometer since they are coming from Neil Gaiman's Personal collection.

i mean it's not peanuts, but it is sort of like peanuts for a certain generation. and the Jim Borgman art is of a level that is beyond most comic strips.

Another huge chunk of Sandman pages.  Some even have Morpheus in them! 

i count like 8 pages...doesnt seem like such a huge chunk cosidering how much material there is...

and we are off...

I think its a cool item. It might even get more, younger, people into original art.

Which auction is this going to? (ie When?)

Its a selection of items from auction 7341 which opens for bidding the week of the preview. The Auction itself is sep 14-17.

There will also be a bunch of comic art as well.

That’s the reserve.  Not a bid. 

Nope, that's the bid, if you look at the lndividual page it says "reserve met".

Not that I'm in any hurry, but has anyone else received an invoice for this weeks Heritage auction?

The new format means the auction doesnt close until tonight, so invoices should be a day later than you are used to.

So, are you REALLY really trying to convince us here that it's going to sell for more than $456K, because if so, you are going to have to do a better job than this?  

i took it as "no way it will reach that lofty price again"...but i guess it is open to interpretation.

First appearance of the Log.

First, VERY FULL, appearance of the LOG

I mean, the people who are bidding on a 7.0 are probably not really the market for the 8.0...now whoever misses out on the 8.0 might go nuts on the 7.0

what would an 8.0 batman #1 go for in a truly transparent auction?

Looks like there was a buyer in between heritage and this. Goldin sold the copy for 3.4 in september.

another opportunity presents itself

I feel like the New Dimensions foils are actually a lot similar to the C2E2 books except for the shady market manipulation side plot. And, at least initially, they both were blue-label eligible. The C2E2 tomfoolery probably won't be the last time a third party company uses existing books they didn't originally produce or contract for in order to manufacture a new collectible. Obviously, individual collectors can care, or not, as they desire. But what do we want CGC to do with these sorts of things?

I see the similarity, but i think the difference is that new dimension made the books available to retailers through traditional distribution channels (diamond...was capital city still around?), so they are considered more traditionally "published"(?) u guess. Also they had been accepted variant products for years before CGC existed, so CGC didnt so much have to make a judgment on them, as they were already accepted by the hobby.
