There are a number of books I've bid on before but lost. I am assuming these are more from Joe Smejkal's collection. If so, the man had an absolutely incredible collection. Too many great ones to even try to list.

Ya gotta keep up. I had and still have enormous respect for Mr. Smejkal and his desire to get great books. He swamped me so many times I couldn't even count them all.

5. Jack Kirby and Ayers Strange Tales #108 Splash Page 1. Really nice.

 

Tops on the list for me. Stuck out for me right away. Beautiful.

 

I was going to single that one out as well... just a great splash.

 

And Supes #12 cover, very cool.

I concur. (thumbs u

I'm high bidder on the Mile High Action Comics 63. $38 bucks :banana:

 

That book is insanely gorgeous. I just don't know if I'm willing to sell the books that I'd have to sell to afford it. hm

I owned that one for a good 12 years. I took really good care of it! :grin:

Clearly the superman 12 cover is the highlight. But what is troubling me is the amount of RECREATION that has been added to the piece....why

 

I don't mind adding bristol board of matching kind to recreate the original size, nor a recreation of a logo..but the text recreation is questionable, but the creation of the circle (which intruded on the OA Area) is quite troubling.

 

I am gonna have lower my value estimate on this piece to under 100K, while if it was untouched it would be 250K...just an opinion

 

I don't consider it troubling -- the original logo, price, and text paste-ups may simply be gone -- don't see why it's a big deal then, to replace them with very carefully-done stats, as was the case here. As to recreating the circle, that does seem a bit more unusual -- wondering out loud, was the circle highlight behind the trio only added in later production of the cover? I get the feeling it wasn't part of Ray's original art, as originally made.
