A-level panel page valuations by artist/run - thoughts/additions/changes? 5 5

[delekkerste]

Who's brave enough to start the "Cover valuation" thread???

[J.Sid]

There has to just be a simple multiplier for covers, right?

Thanks for starting this thread and everyone's contributions--interesting reading.

 

One quibble: Re Layton Iron Man -- I presume that it means Romita Jr. pencils with Layton inks. Now, not that I want to look like I am knocking Romita/Layton Iron Man , but to my knowledge Romita/Layton Iron Man non-splash pages have not been selling in the $3k-$5k range--more like the lower category of $1k-$3k.

 

Is it possible that an "A+" panel page from the height of JR JR/Layton could reach over $3k (say from Iron Man #128 or Iron Man #150 with Dr. Doom)? Yes. But absent a special case, the "A" non-splash pages I have seen have generally been in the $1.5k-$2k range.

[drdroom]

Let's add some more! Is anyone qualified to break out these guys: Crumb, Corben, Moebius/Giraud, Tardi, Clowes, Ware, Hergé.

 

Ditko & Wrightson Warren work can safely be added to the 5-10K range

 

I think Jaime Hernandez may have entered the 3-5K tier, though I'm a bit unsure on the A/A+ distinction with his work.

[drdroom]

Colan large art Iron Man, 3-5K. Possibly Heck LA Iron Man as well? I know of 3, but maybe those are A+ pages.

[comiconxion]

I'll comment on the Mike Zeck art since I know it pretty well -

 

Zeck Spidey Kraven Last Hunt - $5-10k

I'd probably add Zeck Punisher to this range as well, but admittedly there aren't many "A" Punisher pages floating out there. The 1st page to #4 has changed hands a few times in this realm which is technically a panel page and not a splash. I'd call that the best "A" panel page example out there.

 

Mike Zeck Captain America - $3-5k

I haven't seen any Cap panel pages sell in this range. I'd bump this down to the $1-3k range. "A" Secret Wars pages have been getting harder to find and have started selling in this range however. B/B+ examples are selling in the $1-3k range.

Clowes is hard because he has pretty much kept almost all the A+ pages , but gene really speaking Clowes story pages seem to be in the 3-5000 range. Ware 5000+ probably 10000 range for A+

Actually 'A' is what we're looking for, not A+, per the OP. I think this is wise because A+ can be a real wild card and not reflect accurately on the rest of the range, whereas 'A' page value can be somewhat extrapolated downward.

 

So would you say a Clowes A page is in 3-5 or 5-10? & Ware A pages 5-10?

[suspense39]

Clowes 3-5, and ware 5-10 seems pretty fair, there's not a lot of history....but that should be a good start.

[suspense39]

Heck LA iron man (TOS) is a hard one, just not a lot recorded....maybe avengers from hecks peak mid sixties period is easier and IMO one of the bargains in the hobby 1250-3000

Hey gang, sorry for the delay in updating. Loving the feedback guys! Keep it coming.

 

We seems to be getting near a semi-complete list of A-level interior panel pages that sell above $3k so as some have mentioned, perhaps we should start coming to a concensus on the multipliers/fractions of an A-level interior panel page that a B and C level page would achieve, as well as both splashes and......covers. As an interior panel guy I will be no help with these last two so I will rely on those that know way more about that segment of the hobby.

[romitaman]

Romita only drew 15 large art asm issues in the run (39-53) so only 300 total pages exist...

[drdroom]

Based on quick scan of Heritage archives, I propose:

Giraud Blueberry is at least in 20-30K

Moebius fantasy pages, not enough information

 

Crumb 5-10K

Crumb Mr Natural, Fritz, other important UG pages 10-20K

[drdroom]

Should specify Jaime Hernandez L&R; Gilberto pages are less. Kind of a bargain actually, some would say.

[westform]

Barks would be in the 10 to 20k range.

[jjonahjameson1]

Romita only drew 15 large art asm issues in the run (39-53) so only 300 total pages exist...

 

OK, that's less than half the ASM pages Ditko drew.

[pinupcartoonguy]

As my wife would say, "Size isn't everything."

[kbmcvay]

Does anyone know the last issue of Kirby FF/Thor that were 2up?

[delekkerste]

Is Miller Sin City really $10-$20K for panel pages? Mitch had some nice splashes that were at the lower end of that range; can't imagine that there are enough people buying up panel pages for that amount unless we're talking A+++.
