McFarlane at his best at Heritage Auctions!

[J.Sid]

We will learn a lot about the depth of the McFarlane market. This isn't like the recent Miller wave where a dozen items might get listed, but most of them are $2k-9k items. We now have six McFarlane pieces that could each take off once the auction starts.

 

I expect some erratic results. A lot could depend on how the items are ordered.

I am the most effed up collector out there I think. I am tracking 10 or so items in this auction I would love to own. The effed up part is the range of artists I am interested in here: Hal Foster, Robert Crumb, Kevin Nowlan, Charles Vess, and Barry Smith. I think I need meds.

[Mephisto]

hey josh,

 

one would think so but you know what I bet they've got something great planned for the upcoming auctions too! It seems like they just keep finding more more more to offer even when they offer record amounts of quality stuff the next auction is even better.

 

there's also the possibility I suppose that the consignors wanted it this way.

 

Well I predict comic book wise as others have mentioned there will be trickle down for months as people upgrade to Doug's books and sell there under copies which will only be slightly less spectacular. There does continue to be amazing pieces that keep popping up but I don't think we have seen so much major comic art of the past 25 years pop up in one shot like this.

[Bronty]

yeah I didn't mean artwise necessarily, just well, dollarwise, they always seem to find something good for the next auction

Not a collector or fan of this era myself, but the Spidey #1 cover truly is the best of the best of this era...no question, this piece will certainly be breaking records up and down...

Was in NYC yesterday on business and walked by Heritage. They had this displayed in the window!! Nice treat. Sorry for the bad iphone photo.

 

[Bronty]

[Bronty]

Heat/sunlight Damage?

[Eric Seffinga]

Right?

I was just thinking "Really?? In the window??"

[NelsonAI]

Heritage did the same for the covers from Jerry Robinson. Maybe the glass windows of the office building are UV coated?

 

This is a question for Steve Borock.

 

 

[spider9698]

The glass seemed very thick (shatterproof) and judging from other galleries on the block that were displaying fine art, I assume UV resistant

 

[revat]

yah for the value of things inside that place, i would say the glass is resistant to all types of things. they don't mess around.

[Kevin76]

Heat/sunlight Damage?

 

Ya, Heritage is going to put a piece of art in direct sunlight with no protection...think Mcfly think!

I dunno. in BW you can't see Spidey! Just his face and black costume parts.

For a moment there, you almost sounded like you believed that OA collectors collect for aesthetics.

[sbomfim]

It's live now.

[Bird]

Oh no...it begins.

The Spidey #1 is already at $32,500 + juice. I don't think it's going to go much higher.
