FF51 page on Ebay! Woof!

[westform]

Since no one else will put it to a thread, I will... Man, whatta page! 20k+.... we shall see.

Thanks for the LINK! just kidding. Did you see at the bottom where STAN rescripted Reed's line

[CAP Freak]

The seller also has a Deadpool Splash going for only 65 dollars with 10 hours to go.

that is one of the best pages in the book

 

the page after is my favorite

Would you rather have this page or the DOOMSDAY page that went unsold for 25K earlier this year?

 

[dem1138]

the doomsday page did sell privately unfortunately not to me though i tried

 

btw this ff51 page had a buy it now of 14k too late now though

Looks like a very clean and bright page. Those Sinnott inks are spectacular.

I was tempted to pop the BIN. Like DEM said, too late now.

[dem1138]

you should have...that's an easily flippable page though it's a keeper!

 

 

[Solar]

yeah, no kidding - I would have had to offload a bunch of stuff to pay for it though, so I opted against. I predict that it brings $18K.

and a great example of understated framing that's very effective

[westform]

Personally, I'd rather have this page.... although I admit the other may be worth a few thousand more...

[westform]

I can't believe many saw that buy it now.... I know i didn't....

[Sharkey]

I like the Doomsday page a LOT. I am sure the current owner is VERY happy with it.

 

Yeah I was surprised the BIN didn't get popped -- This page has it all: Kirby crackle, Negative Zone, great character interaction, and one of the classic storylines of all time.

 

I'm surprised it's only at 10K with 2 days to go. The last hour of bidding should be furious....

 

BTW, what was the last issue of large art for the FF?

[westform]

Hi Steve; hope I didn't imply I didn't like the Doomsday page.... I do, lots!!! Just would want this one more for me if price comparisons weren't an issue.

 

It's all about the last few seconds on ebay.... or the off-ebay offerings these days...

 

Also, I'm not sure it's wise to throw up 4 pages in one week. They are all very different, but still it may affect values to the negative... just my opinion.

Dan, I agree completely and while you were posting this I was posting a very similar sentiment in the thread about the #16 page...

 

I think the FF 51 will draw attention (and possible $$) from the other auctions. If nothing else, the two non-Sinnott pages may compete for the same bidders.

 

I'd say "great minds think alike" but that's giving my mind way too much credit

I rarely show original art I'm interested in to the Mrs. (largely because it is out of my price range), but I just had to show this one to her since it is from my favorite issue ever.

 

She was surprised at the price and wondered why I liked it. Interestingly, she likes more modern artists like Pacheco and Ladronn. I wonder if it has anything to do with growing up in a euro-influenced household and coming into contact with comics at a later age...

 

Anyhow, I agree with the seller that this does pretty much summarize the whole story.

[dem1138]

Closed at $16,102.00

 

Looks like the BIN of $14,000.00 would have saved a few dollars...

 

No doubt, one of the best pages in the book, but that's actually NOT the Thing on that page...

[heartened]

Of course it's not the THING. That's the whole point of the story

Would have gone for more... but I didn't bid... too many irons in the fire. And hey David, I thought comicartboston was you... maybe it's Mr. Ferzoco or Bechara. Lotta guys in boston I guess... DF
