Krenkel/Williamson $3,900. Three times Frazetta/Williamson. I know the title is more desirable but still a little surprising.

 

It's Williamson/Krenke and that page sold for $5,975.00... back in August 2014.

Williamson EC Sci-fi pages are impossible to get, I know as I have been trying to get one for 7 years.

So are you saying Williamson penciled? As far as who should get star billing please take a look at the splash for Incredible Science-Fiction 32 and tell me that you don't wish Williamson had left his addition off the art altogether.

I decided to remove all that dirty, stinky money from my account and live in a cardboard box and wound up winning two...BUT, they were two pretty AWESOME pieces...oh well, I can shower in the rain and use leaves for toilet paper.

83k for that charming peanuts sunday.

Wow! :o

 

Big number, but it was really nice. Maybe my favorite piece in the auction in terms of something I'd want for myself, but I was expecting 38 not 83

 

I liked it too but figured maybe mid $50s.

At least you didn't get made fun of on the live stream for consistently losing :(

 

lol sorry but that was pretty funny. I stopped bidding to let whoever they were talking about win one but I guess there was someone else who kept bidding. If it makes you feel any better I was bidding all day and pretty much struck out too. (Won one cheap cover at the end)

The Stelfreeze Classic X-Men cover was on Burkey's website for years at an asking price of I want to say not more than $600 and now sold for $1,200 plus BP. I guess people really don't do any due diligence (or feel they have to finish the auction with something in their hands). Congrats to the winner nonethless.

 

or it got Burkey'd

I came away empty handed. Pieces I was interested in but just couldn't pull the trigger on:

 

Neal Adams Green Lantern page, really nice but definitely a strong price in my mind ($31k).

 

Ross Andru Spiderman 179 splash at $15.5k, I suspect I will regret not bidding more latter.

 

Mooney Batman 56 splash, but at almost $20k with just side views of Batman and Robin, I just could see paying that much

 

Secrets of the Batcave by Mr Sprang but at $50k. I was shocked but it is an iconic piece.

I did!!! I gave up bidding on a couple of other pieces to make sure I still had some fuel in the tank. Glad I did. It went about what I thought it might at its highest. I would have spent more to get it. I love it. I have been chasing it for at about 15 years. I am reuniting it with its sibling. Thanks for your good advice and support!

That Wrightson Frankenstein price is a shock! I'm pretty sure Bernie sold that himself on eBay for around $12K in 2001. I remember seriously considering buying it.

 

I did end up buying his last Frankenstein plate shortly afterwards -- it's the scene where Victor is in a boat disposing of a body -- no monster on that one either. I'm guessing we'll see more of these show up in the next auction now.

Agreed! But I would be happy with the print nicely framed for much less.
