Fantastic material. I want it all (except for the abstract piece )

[pemart1966]

I enjoyed the stories as much as the art!

 

Is this auction Dave's entire collection?

 

 

[Zaddick]

According to Doc Dave he's going to offer his entire Frazetta collection at no reserve, this is about 20% of the catalog/collection.

[BustedFlush]

There must be more. I won't be able to afford the action but I'll be in Fritz-mode if anything undersells.

[BustedFlush]

Now everyone knows about it. Rats!.

Any idea of how much of the 200 pages is Frazetta stuff and/or what type of art the rest is?

[AnkurJ]

Don't the estimates seem low?

It will be interesting to see how much the market can hold dumping all this at once vs. parsing it out over time. Might be a lot of dealers grabbing pieces for later resale when collectors wallets recover? Unless I am underestimating the numbers of Frazetta's wealthy international fanbase.

Metropolis gallery has some amazing pieces as well.

Frost Giants...

Pick your Frazetta era and they have his two best oils from each.

 

The only other piece from the Museum I would've run off with was Cat Girl.

Many thanks for posting this, and I'd like to echo other posters' sentiments about the stories contained within the catalogue.

 

In the introduction, Doc Dave devotes a fair amount of space to his time in Toronto and the sale of his comic collection to Ron Van Leeuwen, who owned the Silver Snail comic store for around 35 years until its recent sale.

 

I spent quite a bit of time speaking with Ron about the early days of his store operations, the comings and goings of local and international celebrities, and I distinctly recall his story of having 24 copies of Conan #1 on his wall display when he first opened his store. I had no idea he purchased them from Doc Dave, but its nice to link the stories together.

 

I think I'll give Ron a call and let him know about the write up in the catalogue.

I was under the impression that the Snails in Toronto and Ottawa were both closed not sold.

Where do you see those? They don't seem to be in the catalog you can see online.

I believe he was referring to Metro.

I believe he was referring to Metro.

 

Ah. Thanks.

Ah. Thanks.

 

I'm excited to see what else will be available too. If Doc is selling most of his collection I would think that this preview, as great as the pieces are, is just the tip of the iceberg.

I can't speak to the Ottawa store closing, but the Toronto location will be having a birthday bash Oct 3rd:

T'would appear that it's just the Ottawa store that's closed.
