HA Auction: 2015 August 27 - 29 Comics Signature Auction

[Tokay]

Did they change the format of the online bidding? When I look at an item, the screen seems to suggest I can bid online all the way until one hour before the live auction starts tomorrow. Used to be like 9 or 10 the night before.

there's obviously a bunch of great beautiful stuff in this auction but I'm just not feeling any of it really. I guess the stuff that I like is just a tad too expensive in this one & the stuff in my range just isn't grabbing me.

Ready to bid, will have phone and internet running, ready to get blown out of the water and lose hard then instead of blowing it on pen and ink, will invest the money in something else

 

painful not bidding on comics today, some lovely items

[Mephisto]

It's really not that great of a piece IMO. Just a generic team splash with the whole cast in the traditional "Robin corner shock pose." I guess most of the appeal probably comes from the issue number but it's not an iconic part of the story. I mean it's cool but for 6 figures in not impressed.

 

 

Thats where it comes down to your opinion of the artwork itself. But this page is PURE nostalgia, its a great example from the story almost everyone is shown in this dps, great shots of all the X-Men no one has their backs turned to the readers and the title says it all. If someone wants a page thats encompasses the Phoenix Saga this is one of the best.

 

I am not nostalgic for this piece but it is GREAT team shot. I get tired of hearing about the action. Most action pieces that jam in every character are way too busy and the image looks like mess.

to heck with the DPS, I am liking the Journey into Mystery 122 cover coming up in the next auction

[AnkurJ]

Thought I had a chance on the Jim Lee Hush page with Batgirl. Not so much!

[Peter G]

Didn't we all

I'm still leading on my pieces

Anyone have any informed thoughts on what this Adams 'Tec #418 cover will do?

 

I'll settle for wild guesses as well.

[jaybuck43]

I'm thinking no more then $25,000 with the BP. The logo and the production text is all recreated with an overlay. It severely affected how much I was willing to bid on it, I know that much.

[Bronty]

I'm not a fan of the cover either but I'll say 35

I think 24k plus the fees.

Mike Burkey sold a cover not as good for 27k at SD, Gene. This one, I expect will go for a little more.

So, the range seems to be low-$20Ks to mid-$30Ks...so high-$20Ks or low $30Ks is where the consensus seems to be. Sounds about right - thanks, everyone. (thumbs u

 

What about the Ron Wilson/Joe Sinnott Hulk #288 cover?

[Bronty]

I know less than nothing about bronze hulk covers but that looks like an outstanding example that I would expect would get an eye popping price (for what it is). I'm going to say 17-22 range, I think it will go big

The logo stats matter that much to you?

Are you talking about the Hulk 288 cover? I just wanted to make sure.

 

That one's copper. Late '83.

 

The Sinnott inks are, to me what's driving the bidding and the overall eye appeal of this piece. That being said it's not a key issue and no background. Dynamic look but it's basically a three character "floating" cover.

 

I will say it's looks far better as OA than it did in production where the two non-Hulk figures are really washed out.

 

I'd be really shocked if it hit $10k....heck $5k seems like a lot for a Wilson.

I agree, it's a lovely cover and will probably go for more than many might expect. But, if this one hits $17-22K, I may have to call time on my OA collecting career.

Whew, I thought I had lost my mind there for a second! I think Dan must have been thinking about the Trimpe cover also in the auction.
