Yowza, look at the bidding on the X-Men Annual cover

 

Someone really really wanted that cover. I thought 15K tops.

It was more than just one person who really, really wanted that cover. Looks like three separate bidders duked it out.

 

Big time congrats to the winner!

I just don't understand how all this art sells for so much money and when this auction is over, I usually only end up seeing about 10% of it. Are there that many "private" collectors that aren't on CAF? I seriously asking. Is CAF and these boards just the tip of the iceberg?

True Felix, but the person with the last bid, really really wanted it. :/ At 44K you have to be thinking, "I'm spending 44K on an X-Men piece NOT drawn by John Byrne, and I don't give a **#*$&%&" Its the only way to still pull the trigger.

But that image by Byrne, on a cover, from that time period would have a "1" in front of that "44".

Those Fastner & Larson portfolio plate illustrations went WAY lower than I expected.

 

As the winner of the Wolverine poster, I agree 100%

 

Nice score! I put in a low bid on that one too. I remember I gave that particular plate to a friend as an X-Mas gift when we were in junior high. I've largely moved away from collecting painted art, but, at these prices, I'm willing to make an exception. (thumbs u

The usually only give "featured" positions to pieces they think will make a minimum of $20K, so both very good buys.

Wow, I won the Alpha Flight one. That's a crazy low price. :eek:

 

Yes it is. There is something else I want up for auction so I declined to hit it a few more times Gene. The Canuck in me is slightly :tonofbricks:

True, I'm just saying that if I'm spending 44K on an X-Men piece, the artist is Byrne.
