We talked about the X-men 99 cover, now how about this?

Check out this amazing splash. I would love to own it!

 

X-men 100 Splash

Amazing splash. Glad they didn'ty have the hairy beast. Cockrum could not draw him for S@$%.

THAT IS ONE SUPER DUPER LOOPER OF A PIECE

[KingOfRulers]

That would be a dream piece of OA for my collection. Maybe I'll be able to afford something like that one day. Cockrum!

Starts At: $1

 

Give it a shot man.

Glad Cockrum reversed the position of the new X-men compared to the X-men #100 front cover. Wolverine is more prominent in the splash compared to Colossus.

Since the X-men 99 cover has been estimated at $40-45k, what would you estimate the hammer price of the #100 splash?

[Drummy]

This is a great piece, almost iconic to the Marvel Bronze Age (despite not being a cover).

 

I may give this piece a run, but really think I can't afford it. A CAF member had it listed at $20,000 with no takers for a while, but now that it's up in competition I might see that number being hit.

 

My guess? $14-16k.

 

Whew.

Sounds about right on the splash Dan. I see the cover going pretty high though; possibly higher than the median estimates. I mean I don't think I've seen a first run cockrum xmen cover for sale this publically in maybe 15 years... or ever. I'll hopefully be bidding, but realistically think someone will be able to top me. Just glad I pulled the trigger a couple years ago on the xmen 107 cover! DF

[spider9698]

I dont think you can underestimate the freshness factor. The 100 splash has been out there for a while. The 99 cover was buried in a collection for years and has just surfaced.

[westform]

That is true... especially combined with the emotional response a cover like this can trigger.

[batman_fan]

I was shocked at the final hammer. Seems a pretty decent price for it to me.

[Mephisto]

It didn't meet reserve and is now in the regular FS section listed at 20K the same price it was up on CAF for all that time.

[BleekerBob]

Highest bid was 12k, sign of the times or just an over seen image?

[comiconxion]

I think the low offer is more a symptom of it having been out there for awhile. Potential buyers are likely scared that they wouldn't be able to resell it for the same price if they were to buy it. There's also not that same sense of urgency to buy. People feel that even if it does sell, it will likely pop up again at some point down the line.

 

I think it's a great piece and over time, it would gain value. Other X-Men splashes have suffered from a similar fate of being "over shopped" like the #106, 110, and 120.

 

Mainly, it's just a mentality that if no one else is willing to snap a piece up at a certain price right away, it must be over-priced.

[westform]

That's true... plus maybe some people just assumed the reserve was much higher and stayed away... like me. DF

[Mephisto]

Sale pending at 19K.

Wow.

[KLNole]

Even in Euros that is a lot of money, though you could have two of them for the price of the Kirby recreation on the site

That's insane. $80,000 for a re-creation

 

Someone needs a reality check . . .

[Bronty]

I agree. I'd rather have a real x-men 1 page for 1/4 of the price. I guess he must be thinking that with all the af15 art being donated this recreation will be as good as it gets for someone wanting a page from that issue.
