I thought this just sold recently. Does anyone remember where and for how much?

Seems like it's been up for auction a few times recently

 

Prior to that it sold on Heritage for less than it went for on CLINK. The first time I saw it was before the Heritage Auction at Wondercon in Heroes Comics.

Didn't it sell for $34k, not $24k?

In my memory it was somewhere between $24k and $25k. It sold for less than that when it was auctioned on Heritage.

I checked my clink bid history…it sold for $24k in February 2013.

The person who purchased this cover from Heritage was Nick Katradis. He had it posted on his CAF for several years. I believe that he sold it to the person who listed it ComicLink earlier this year. It would be interesting to see the comparison between what Nick sold this cover for in the past year to the price realized on the ComicLink auction. Keep in mind that the consignor had to fork over between 5% to 10% to ComicLink for the auction consignment.

Ciao!

Seller is lucky I went bargain hunting and put in a few bids at the end, or it would have been even uglier.

What did it end at...?

[Bird]

$17K and change

 

[jjeanius]

Well its quite a bit down on the $24k it sold for in Feb this year at Comiclink

That's what happens when even a great cover/image can't seem to find a permanent (or at least semi-permanent) collection.

I love this cover and kick myself for not buying it before it was listed originally on Heritage. It was originally owned by the owner of Heroes Comic in Campbell, CA.

Would that be Alan?

 

Surprised that he had this as i didnt think Byrne was his kind of thing.

Yes, he owned it. He had it for sell at either a Wondercon or a San Jose convention, I can't remember which. I think (my memory has been known to fail) he was asking $15k for it.

Seems like a ton of value of for $15K. That is one heck of a cover by Byrne.

It is really nice. I think it looks better in person.
