Anybody pick up or planning to pick up anything in the Heritage Auction? Any surprises?

 

For me it had to be the Kirby/Ayers Rawhide Kid panel page that went for $8k. :whatthe: It's a gorgeous page, but this has to be a completely new threshold for non-Superhero Kirby art.

 

Rawhide Kid results

 

Hmmm, Rawhide Kid...not that there's anything wrong with that. :yeahok:

I'm glad you brought this up, Rhino. I was watching this page. I almost soiled myself when I saw how much it sold for. Three or four years ago, I don't think this would have cost more than $1,500 at the most. I like Ayers overall, but I don't think his inking is helping this particular page. For lack of a better term, it just seems unsteady to me. I guess the main character appearing in all nine panels is what jacked the price up on this - It certainly isn't action packed.

 

I think the days of inexpensive Kirby are definitely over. All the "cheap" Kirby pages I saw at WonderCon this year were twice the price of what you could have gotten them for even one or two years ago.

 

Congrats to the buyer and seller, though! :thumbsup:

Jim! :hi:

 

Yeah, definitely an interesting page. Maybe the buyer liked horses and desert motifs. I like the page a lot, actually, but the price definitely surprised me. But whether this was an isolated sale, or the start of a trend has yet to be seen. hm

 

Aren't ya glad you bought your Kirby Western page when you did? :grin::baiting:

 

Sorry I missed Wondercon, I was hoping to see if there were any decent deals to be had this year. Did you pick anything up?

Nothing too exciting for me this year. I bought a signed, framed Steranko print for my office. My wife has been teasing me incessantly about it. As you can see below, he is perhaps a bit effete looking:

Well, it turns out there was a "bidding error" on that Rawhide Kid page. The final price w/juice is now listed at $2987.

 

That's a far cry from $8000, but still $2900 is "up there" for Kirby/Ayers Western art. A page from Rawhide #32 went for $2200 a couple weeks ago and that seemed like an aggressive price. hm
