But did it really sell for $35,000?!

Hi,

 

From what I've heard on the original art yahoo group, someone has confirmed with the seller that it did in fact sell at that price to a collector in Nevada. But, who knows. I think that's a very hefty price for it, but someone obviously disagrees.

Somebody hit the BIN!

 

If I was rich I might have.

 

An FF 1 goes for $35,000 in what grade?

9.2?

How many 9.2s up are there?

 

Only one of these...

Looking at the bid history, the next highest bid is $10000. Quite a difference.

The seller alluded to the non-appearance of the artwork for FF #1 and 2. Anyone got an opinion on that? Is the buyer going to be SOL when those pages turn up?

I would be shocked if that cut panel of art actually sold for $35k. Just because the Kirby art to FF 1 is not on the open market, does not mean it doesn't exist.

As one the world's greatest FF fans (pun intended), I hope the art to FF 1 and 2 show up someday, even though I'll never be able to touch it.

I swear that I read that the FF 1 pages were intact without the covers. That was a few years ago so I don't know if they were ever broken up. It was published somewhere that a bunch of complete books were sold. Perhaps in the CBM?
