Take these 2 for $850 :news: ($19 per page)

 

P PARKER SPIDER-MAN #10 ORIGINAL COLOR GUIDE ART (23 PAGES) JOHN ROMITA JR VENOM $600

 

P PARKER SPIDER-MAN #16 ORIGINAL COLOR GUIDE ART (22 PAGES) JOHN ROMITA JR VENOM $425

 

I've often mentioned the profit that can be made by those who split my color guides up and re-sell them by the page, but here's a great example.

 

These two guides were offered to the boards at $850 for 44 pages = $19 per page.

 

HERE'S WHAT THEY RE-SOLD FOR BY THE PAGE.......! :o

 

The buyer re-couped over $2,000 for just half the pages.

 

 

Don't forget what happened the last time you guys passed on my Spidey JR JR guides...... :baiting:

 

(these are better :gossip: )

Genuine comic proofs of the significance of the Spidey #58 and TOS #97 (as opposed to the reproductions on Ebay) nearly always trade hands privately, so there are very few comparable public sales. They are the only 2 Silver Age cover proofs I own.

 

Here's one of the few such sales from Heritage.

 

X-Men Giant Size 1 Cover Proof - $4,480

Noticed this average Catwoman page from Batman #504 sell for $120 for a single color guide page !

 

I only have one Catwoman guide but it ticks all the boxes.

 

 

FOR SALE....

 

$795 ($36 per page)

 

CATWOMAN #72 JIM BALENT ORIGINAL COLOR GUIDE ART "NO MAN'S LAND" (22 PAGES)

 

Jim Balent artwork - check

Catwoman as a cat burglar - check

Catwoman versus Batman - check

Catwoman kissing Batman - check

Joker & Penguin - check

Many sexy Catwoman pages - check

Part of "No Man's Land" - check

"Baby got back" - CHECK

 

Catwoman pages sell extremely well and people seem to go particularly crazy for the Jim Balent Catwoman. An OA page from #19 sold for over $2,500 at Comiclink last year.

 

I don't normally scan so many pages but I want to show you'll be getting value for money on this guide as this one would really fly if sold by the page.
