OA find

[joeypost]

Guys,

 

I found (yes I found) the splash page to Western Gunfighters #4 yesterday and was wondering what it might be worth.

 

I can post a scan tonight but it is in (compared to comics) what would be FN/FN+ shape. No tears but some soiling and general wear.

Joey -

 

There's 6 different stories in that issue, a few were reprints. Assuming it's one of the new stories, who drew it? The Barry Windsor Smith splash will probably fetch more than the Richard Ayers or Tom Sutton.

It's signed by Barry Windsor Smith.

That's a heck of a find Joe!

 

I can't even begin to guess price on it.

Great, congrats! I'll let one of the OA Gurus take a stab at FMV, I have very limited scope and its outside the realm of BWS.

I'm going to stick my neck out and guess in today's market about 1000-1300? I'm looking forward to seeing a scan.

Where exactly did you find it?

 

4 years ago I met a local comic dealer here in Orlando who had a warehouse full of books he wanted to move on ebay. I started selling for him then and over the last 4 years his inventory went from around 3,000 long boxes to around 300 now.

 

I was pulling books for Mega-Con last night and this large plactic bin that I have been moving around for the last 3 years fell. Underneath old folders and paper work were 4 pieces of OA. The other 2 are MTU pages from issues 120 and 121. The last piece if from a newer X-Men book.

 

There were a few smaller pieces done by Greg Adams as well.

[joeypost]

So is the general consensus around $1,000? Or am I way off?

[mtlevy]

1000-1300 is a pretty good estimate in my mind.

 

The signature does not look as old as the piece...so probably not "lost"

 

Great Find!

Would that bent upper right side affect the value any? Can (or should) it be pressed? Hmmm...pressing in OA? That could be an interesting topic.

 

I guess if it gets framed you wouldn't notice it was bent.

Just dont wet press it!

[joeypost]

Thanks guys. It most likely will be up for sale soon.

 

BTW what is a wet press?

[The Troll King]

Joe call Matt. He can clean it and press it before you sell it.

Definitely press it ... It's also pretty common for a frame shop to press items before framing - makes the framing process a whole lot easier.
