Very cool! @Bronty are these yours?

[Bronty]

No , just sharing the links.   The Alpha lots should be interesting to watch. 

[Bronty]

These auctions end tomorrow.   

Lich is currently the high lot among the MTG arts, and I would expect it will finish that way.  

Currently around $40k all-in for Lich, 36k or so for swamp, low 20s for phantom monster.

Swamp:  75,000

Phantom Monster: 42,500

Are those good prices? Truly interested do not know that part of the art market.

I think it’s hard to predict what they will do, so it’s a difficult question to answer, but relative to my expectations, Lich did about what I thought it would do, swamp went above my expectations, and phantom went at or slightly above my expectations .    So I think they were nice strong sales overall.

Quite a desirable one on HA atm.    I expect 100k+... we shall see

Edit, I guess its already at 94k so maybe my 100k+ estimate isn't really that daring

$100k for a picture of Wolverine is not unreasonable 

[Bronty]

gone up another 3k in the hour since I posted

[cstojano]

Early Magic art, heck, all Magic art. Is it a 1k or 100k? I don't know and I can never guess

[Xatari]

Another reason I like the Marvel Snap card art another member suggested. I’m on that 🚂. Toot toot.

that one is a pretty easy guess to be a big number.   It might be the best card art to have in all of MTG outside of the first 4 sets.

$105,000 now, so my 100k+ guess looks like a winner

[Bronty]

131k now

[Bronty]

Force of will - sold, $350,000 all-in. 

[Xatari]

That’s a pretty impressive hammer price. Wowza!

I’m sure people who look at comic art without knowing comics feel the same way.    Heck I remember feeling that way when I was first exposed to comic OA and that was with the benefit of years and years of comic collecting in my back pocket.    It all starts to make sense pretty quick when you follow it more actively.
