No idea but how about through the roof. Are there any other pages that are know to exist? Do we know the current owner?

[markseifert]

Cool page. I think the last page of that story surfaced a few years back, didn't it?

 

edit: my error, this is the same page that surfaced awhile back.

Why did you feel it necessary to start a whole new thread on this?

This is the only page known to exist. It surfaced about 2 years ago, when Mike Burkey found it in New York. He sold it for 125K soon thereafter. I don't believe it has traded hands since. Hence, the reserve will undoubtedly be somewhat more than that......

 

It is the most historic piece of comic art ever to surface.

 

Best,

Hari,

 

 

Mike Burkey really made out well it seems. 125 K is a sweet price,..yes its historic but the image is OK. Now the X-men # 1 Complete interior that JP has,...

 

does he still have that or was that a consignment ? His asking price of 750 K a couple of years ago now seems pretty fair 40K a page times 23 pages,...920 K,...still room to make a nice profit !

I didn't know Namor was involved with the Black Panther Party

Black Panthers were formed in the sixties.

i'd pay 10k, but that's because I'm cheap

You have to have 10k to be able to pay 10k.

[jim1968]

Wow! What a page. I bet it goes in the 150-170k range.

The only thing cooler would be a page from the Human Torch story!

Oh no.... it can't go there! That spot is reserved for the famous Hulk/Wolverine cover to What If? #31

I think Mike made a tidy profit on that transaction, possibly even doubling his money. But, the piece is worth it from a historic standpoint. I wouldn't personally want it at anywhere near that price, though. My interests are mostly Silver, some Bronze, and mainly Copper... and that's where I put my money these days.

 

Regarding X-Men #1 pages... who knows what they should/would sell for? Pages from X-Men #2 sell for around 10K these days (the decent ones, at least). I could see #1 pages at 20-25K? I'd buy one at that price, for sure.

 

Best,
