most valuable piece of comicbbok artwork?

[action1kid]

of course i agree because there is no point of reference to compare it to...i agree whole heartedly...

the last time i saw this piece was in 1993 at sothebys

[krazykat-migration]

Of ACTUAL pieces I have seen , NOT theoretical pieces that have been rumored to exist...I would say the Cover to Spiderman 122 is the most Historic and valuable piece of original comic art to exist

The ASM 122 cover does exist and changed hands a few years ago. The price WAS steep but I think it would still come up short when stacked against others. Don't get me wrong, the cover is fabulous and historically important; just likely not the most expensive.

Really? What do you think it would "come up short" against when compared to I believe that cover is one of the nicest and most highly sort of comic book covers.

There is a long and humorous story about that cover when it was "finally" offered a few years back. That cover is socked away in a private collection and will not be offered for sale for SOME time. PM for the juicy details.

I would think the Hulk #181 cover would bring more than the Spidey #122 cover.

And it is definitely out there also.

What about the GS X-Men #1 cover? Does it exist? I would think that would be more valuable too. How about any of the classic Steranko, Adams or BWS covers? Do they exist, and would they go for more?

The GS Xmen 1 cover recently sold.

Private deal for real money.

Thanks for the info. For more than you think the ASM 122 would go for?

[spider9698]

Yes

[Silver Surfer]

Is the ASM#238 cover in circulation? Is it in the hands of a collector? If so what kind of cake is it worth?

[krazykat-migration]

 

I believe Mr. Bill Woo owns it !

Hi Stephen,

 

These guys deserve to know a little more.....

 

The GS X-Men 1 sold for a six-figure sum, and I don't mean 100,001.00.

 

The ASM 122 cover sold for something like 65K when it sold a couple years ago.

Many of the classic Steranko, Adams and BWS covers exist and are in private collections. These rarely trade hands, as the folks who own them typically don't need the cash!

Thanks Hari. Glad to hear that krazykat's hypothesis about the ASM 122 cover was indeed as ridiculous as it sounded, even to a non-OA collector such as myself.

[Silver Surfer]

I tell you if that ever went to auction I think there would be people literally fighting over it. Should be in a nice frame on my wall at home.

Thanks, I can imagine they would bring a pretty penny if they ever surfaced. Approximately when did the vast majority of OA start surviving intact? Mid-60s?

Chris Foss told me he has the cover to X-Men 50 and was - IIRC, which is always a craapshoot these days - offered in excess of 50K for it and turned it down.

 

which of course immediately made me want to kill him. others may have different reasons, but that one's mine

You wanted to kill him because he owns the X-Men 50 cover or because he turned down $50K for it?
