That's the market; Adams price didn't seem high.

 

I thought it was a blah page and would have guessed lower.

$17.8K for the Infantino Flash cover!

 

Seems cheap for a SA Infantino Flash cover, even if it's been restored.

 

the resto is what got it that price

 

And the small art size.

 

I think they went hand in hand.

 

I was thinking the resto is what got it a price bump, not decrease

 

Burkey had it sitting pre resto on his site for around half what it sold for here

 

I know this is close to the end of the SA, but SA Flash covers would likely go for roughly 2.5x this price, so there has to be more going on than just 11 x 17 (all just imo)

Rarity and some X-Men on page helped.

Gary Leach Blue Beetle #23 cover at $4K? What's going on here?

[drdroom]

Beautiful cover?

Neal Adams Marvel work on X-Men and Avengers with Palmer Inks seems to be in great demand always, regardless of rendering. I was hoping to eventually get even a sub-standard piece for around $6k, but doubt if that'll ever happen.

Don't remember if it's been mentioned, but the Cockrum MTU cover with the X-Men went RNM. I'm not surprised.

Could have had one in the February HA for under $3k if memory serves.

So what would a good Adams interior X-Men page go for?

[delekkerste]

Oh right - that was the laminated one. The buyer brought it to the NJ Comic Art Con in March. I thought it was a good buy, actually.

Didn't the ones going in the 40's and above come from the early 60's?

I know the difference in Marvel small art to large art is pretty huge.

Gary Leach Blue Beetle #23 cover at $4K? What's going on here?

 

 

That cover is fricken gorgeous...the composition and execution is just stellar.

I have a personal preference problem with artwork that's laminated, adhered to another board or altered in any way. I don't mind condition problems, like rips and tears, just not alterations or aesthetic defects (I get a bit irritated by missing dialogue or replacement panels taped on the back, even when an artist signs the artwork inside of the artwork or there's personalized / dedication inscribed), which makes buying decisions in a way easier, since some items are automatically disqualified as a consideration for me. I know I'm odd

[zhamlau]

51k for the JRJR X-men cover.

[Silver Surfer]

Just won my bid.

[comix4fun]

Just won my bid.

 

 

Daredevil or Iron Man? Couldn't go wrong either way,

Yeah, I think all the covers that have come to market (that I'm remembering right now) were late 1964 or earlier.

 

Side note- I know it's apples and oranges to an extent, but a cover I remember that's pretty close date wise to this latest one would be Superman 199 (while it's a Supes cover, it's still Infantino/Anderson Flash). I think that one was sold on HA maybe 15 years ago for around 40K? Wonder what that baby would pull now.

Romita Sr. Captain America cover vs. Romita Jr. X-men 211 cover

 

33K vs. 51K

Who would have thought Jr. Was going to outsell Sr.?

Especially with the condition issues of the X-men cover, I certainly did not see that coming.

 

Congrats to the seller.

 

Cheers!
