AKA Rick Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I have noticed someone on the boards is buying up a lot of the covers. Corning the market and owning the lion's share if not having exclusivity to everything is one way to control the value/pricing I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thawk Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That would take some SERIOUS cash it sounds like based on prices I've seen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem1138 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 IMHO this was the best DKR panel page Heritage has ever auctioned. It was very memorable from when I first read the page in issue #4. Like many others, I thought it would go for a silly number so I didn't focus on it and it wound up going fairly "cheap." Like many others, I wish I had a do over. I'd prefer this page to all of these DK III covers combined. http://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/frank-miller-and-klaus-janson-batman-the-dark-knight-returns-4-superman-vs-batman-page-40-original-art-dc-198/a/7059-92259.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that auction. Myself and several others were absolutely convinced that this page could have gone for twice as much. I know, for a fact, that several bidders who would have gone for this, at this number, were convinced if would go to the moon and stopped following it and put their concentration in other pieces in that auction. There was a collective jaw drop when it stopped where it did and sold. By the time the "Wait, What?!" reached your lips...it was GONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow what a price! My head hit the floor too. It looked something like this: Yeah. I agree. Hell even Bill S was only asking $13k for his and it was painted. I do like J Scott Campbell but that is way high to be asking. Hell it makes me wonder how much Joe was quoted for his MLP piece his daughter convinced him to buy - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1266409&GSub=98739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I was scrambling to unclick the "disable bidding" button. Don't know what I would've sold off to pay for it, but believe me I was trying to get a bid in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
