I used to hord that comic like crazy. I think I had 16 of #313 at one point. Hands down, the best cover of the run. Looks better in color, IMO. I know, I'm a heretic.

 

Nope that's why I mostly buy painted pieces these days.

 

Ah.. but that Wolverine 55 is so awesome even in black and white.

Mcfarlane on twitter said he sold it for $700 and posted the ebay sale himself...so I think it's legitimate.

 

McFarland would not sell a Spidey cover for $700.00. That cover is worth thousands on the open market. Why would he let it go for $700.00. He could have called anyone in the art world and sold it for a boatload of money!

 

Scam!!

 

You might be right but...

 

This is what McFarlane wrote on twitter tonight:

 

'HOW 2 MAKE MONEY: Sold a Spidey cover I did years ago for about $700. It's now on EBAY for over $55,000! Guess I should have asked $800."

 

and then he posted:

 

EXPENSIVE ART: here's an image of the cover that's going for over $55,000 on EBAY. http://bit.ly/dsRfbm TODD

 

If you belong to twitter...see for yourself.

Maybe he'll trade some McGwire baseballs to get the cover back. hm

 

lol

McFarlane art is uber-hot these days and I know of several collectors who grab his ASM stuff like it's life or death......While this is a nice cover, it's far from the nicest one on his run. The image of Spidey is small, there is no body shot.....None of the webbing Todd made so famous.

 

I think the 317 and the 312 are much better than this, but they sold for ALOT more than this is currently.

That is the best looking pen and ink piece I have. It looks much nicer than the few other pen and inks I have. I just bought my favorite bronze age cover. Weird War Tales 24. Why is it my favorite bronze cover? I love the colors used, but the actual OA is pen and ink black and white. Still a great image but not as nice as the published comic.

I'm wondering if he sold it for $700 in '89, the date under his signature

 

I was offered a McFarlane Spider-man OA cover around 1989 for $600 but I :makepoint: turned my nose at it because he used to sell them cheaper in Vancouver for about $250 each. That was a nosebleed price! Krazy $$$ now.

I'm not sure if this is posted anywhere (my luck it has! lol )

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/TODD-MCFARLANE-AMAZING-SPIDERMAN-313-COVER-ORIGINAL-ART-/280555085306?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415262ddfa#ht_500wt_1154

 

Apparently he sold it for $700 and the person he sold it to is now selling it for over $50k.

 

Check out what he says in the sale..."I fully believe that this art will command at least $250,000 to $1,000,000 in the future." hm

 

It is an awesome cover in my opinion but not worth that money....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can someone get these people a high res picture???? How many questions can be asked for the same thing???

Any predictions as to the final price?

 

Well, since the bidding is already more than 83 cents, I will go with "more than it's worth."

That's funny. I'm enjoying reading your nonsense while watching college football with my wife in our lovely home. I don't have a basement though. :P

A Freudist would make a big deal out of your choice to describe your home as lovely, but not your wife.

 

But I'm not a Freudist.
