This gets asked several times a year. Here's one of the more revisited threads on the topic. Be sure to read it through.

Most stages of production art (after the original pencils and inks) have created very little interest in collectors. The only other part of the production process to spark a bit of interest has been the colorists pages. After that....not a whole lot there to get anyone excited, except the occasional paste-up cover that might have some weird extra pre-press design work on it to make it a bit of a novelty.

 

So that's my 2 cents. What's the value? Totally what you the individual wants to pay, because there aren't many out there that care. I'm not really sure why anyone would care, unless you might have the actual original page and want to own more of the production process. But even then, it's harder to prove that production/proof pages are authentic unless they have some printer notes, or publisher notes on them. Otherwise, they just look like B&W print-outs...

 

Woo hoo?

 

Anyone feel differently?

I think the ones for sale by leadpink on ebay are things he or she makes themselves not production art. Of course I could be wrong.

Yes, those are as much production art as the mass produced poster you had on your wall when you were a kid =)

just run in the other direction. and save your money for real original art. for so called production art. they are pretty much worthless.
