Anyone want to guess what this will sell for?

[rob_react]

I don't know if the whole retirement plan was made in jest or not, but no way I would stake my future on a piece of OA.

 

But that's me...

 

+100000

[Spider-Dan]

Thanks everyone for the input, and the advice.

 

To be clear, I certainly wasnt considering gambling my retirement on 1 piece of OA, but rather adding to it. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to save for retirement our whole 26 years at Ford.

 

I was thinking something this iconic might jump 10-20% in 10 years and make a nice priofit. Not knowing enough about the ups and downs of this part of the Hobby, its probably best if I leave this one alone

 

I was think of the significance of the issue is where the value is, not the artist.

 

Thanks again guys

10-20% in 10 years is a really really bad return on your investment.

Ding ding ding!

[Aman619]

And it will cost you 10-20% in fees to get out of it!

artwork tends to double in value every 8 years

This is true for fine art, comic art, whatever

sometimes even greater-pages that were $50 in 1985 are selling for 10K

[Columbia Comics]

Three steps to determining the value of said piece of OA:

 

1) Phone Metro

 

2) Get their max bid

 

3) Bid $1 more

 

 

Then your way to retirement

That's a 9% CAGR. You can do better than that in MUCH less risky investments.

[kav]

I'm not sure it's risky-OA never goes down in value as far as I am aware

[kav]

1985 values:

Kirby page $45

Kirby cover $60

Starlin cover $65

Peanuts strip $35

 

2015 values

Kirby page 3-5K

Kirby cover 10-20K

Starlin cover 15K

Peanuts strip 15K

don't forget to factor in insurance costs

 

[jreezy]

I agree with some of the posters here. 5-10 years from retirement is risky. Beautiful OA though.

[chrisco37]

6 figures for sure. Not sure if 200K though, but it could. Wouldn't risk retirement on it.

[oakman29]

I would kill for that OA cover.

[THE_BEYONDER]

Hobgoblin is the poor mans Green Goblin.

 

I think the risk FAR outweighs any potential reward in 5-10 years

[deadleg]

I would kill for that OA cover.

 

From what I read lurking on the boards, is that you do kill.

You read correctly.

There is no way that fabric would rip like that

While I think that is a wild assumption to make (sometimes artwork goes down 50% in 8 years), it would not surprise me if this one did double...although i have a hard time seeking that if it goes for over $100K.

 

hobgoblin was a big spidey villian in the 80s, but not so much after that. he's no green goblin, punisher, etc. frankly, when they stick him in a movie folks will be really confused as to what the difference is between him and green goblin.
