Thank you! I remember reading Power Man and Iron Fist off the spinner rack in the pharmacy my aunt worked at every Saturday with my cousin and to get this in an early Sabretooth appearance is icing on the cake!

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere in these 19 pages, but you are not selling individual pages I assume...correct?

 

No individual pages D as I've got too many guides to sell.

 

It means I'm leaving money on the table (I've given many examples of people selling a few pages and paying for their whole guides) but I'm happy to leave some meat on the bone for the next guy.

I just posted this in the Heritage Auction thread in the Original Art forum.

 

$3,883 is an amazing sale price for a single color guide page from Spider-Man #121 !

 

Whilst most buyers continue to proclaim color guides as worthless a small minority have been buying up complete, key vintage guides for the cost of this one page so having some public reference points for the value of the better material (which is rarely ever offered for sale) can only strengthen the market.

 

This could be the single moment the color guide market has come of age.
