NY COMICCON FEBRUARY 6th - 8th at the JAVITZ CENTER

[EvilAsh]

With a little luck they'll have the bridges cleared before the show starts...

Any reports from the show yet? I'm wondering if the current economy is going to have any impact on the con season this year, and NYC would appear to be the best predictor...

 

Best,

Shawn

I was not there but the reports I got were lots of tire kickers not much buying. Would love to hear from others.

I made a major purchase from Nadia over at All Star. Will be posting soon...

AllStar did have some great art by reports. A very nice hand-colored Krazy Kat Sunday (rare as hen's teeth) and a nice Frazetta Canaveral plate among other gems

Frazetta Canaveral plate was at Moy's booth.

Actually, there were 2 Canaveral Plates. One at Albert's and one at Nadia's.

Depends on who is selling, and how nice it is. In general 40-80K is the range I've seen/heard in terms of asking prices, but I'm not sure if I've seen any documented sales to corroborate those asking prices.

The only images I have are ones someone else took and emailed me. They are both of All-Star's booth.To be honest, I didn't see anything that great at the show I didn't know about already. The dealers I saw and spoke to seemed busy because of foot traffic but weren't selling that much. Show worked out for me though, I found two nice pieces (Finlay illo and 1962 Spy vs Spy) and sold some comics that had been sitting in my closet for 16 years or so. You can see the new pieces on my CAF or website and the All Star pictures are also below.CAF:http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=33Rubenhttp://www.collectingfool.com

Depending on subject matter I have seen then priced between 50K and 100K.

I am in the process of picking one up. Once it is in my hands I will share all the details.

I haven't seen any sell at those prices, and the market is tightly held between a few individuals. My sense is there is significant room for haggling. One of the ones available at the con was lower than your minimum.

Heritage has sold three of them over the years, but only one was a Tarzan

The Tarzan plate sold for 41K in 2002. If it were to come up for sale today it would easily be between 60-80K

 

The Earth's Core plate is available at 50K

 

I dont consider the final image a true Canaveral plate due to the small size.

I believe the AllStar plate was Bill Howard's Bill had offered the piece to several colletors recently. What was the asking price?

 

I don't know which plate Albert had. Any idea? Price?
