I think it's always fun to see art for sale and new art to market, regardless of venue.  But the Anthony-Mike shows have a weird and fun energy to them that's often amusing.  Bechara and Glen are more staid, meaning they'll probably pick up a different audience.  But my favorite show has probably been the 'amateur' dealers' competition...it felt fun and genuine and interesting to watch (IMO).

THOR #395 PAGE 9 by Frenz-Breeding (with COA!) sold on eBay last week for $1500 Best Offer:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184859678592?hash=item2b0a7ed780%3Ag%3AJXEAAOSw1E5gsTcB&nma=true&si=sIbj0mV5EgvTRAv5AzLaPbjkpKs%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Now $3000 on Panel Page Art:

And next week... $4500 on Dealermakers of Comic Art? And where's the COA? I'm guessing that will be sold separately for an additional $500.

The Man thing page was a good deal

If you say so.  

Some Man-Thing 3 (1974 series) pages just hit the auction block.  Get ready to rationalize the market comps.  Keeping vague since this isn't the Marketplace.

Not the consignor, won't be a bidder.

A beautiful cover from Ms. Tree Quarterly that I had been following (and almost bid on), by Randy Duburke on eBay for $1,505, ending May 19, 2021. No one bid on it. 

Now, on eBay for a mere $2,500 from rdgaleria.

And here I thought that the rules of supply and demand meant that fewer interested buyers would lead to lower prices. Oh wait, this is comic art.

Another piece that could be with a collector to enjoy, (mostly mine), and will now sit unsold for eternity. I remember losing this at auction thinking who is the person outbidding me on this?

To be candid, he got it too cheaply. If I had really wanted it, I could have easily gone for double the sales price without missing a beat. The raw dollars are low.

We'll need to agree to disagree. Is there a better indicator of price than an auction? Unless someone was bidding the same amount as me, all the interested collectors in the auction tapped out at $150 which led to a "sale" at $155. This happens all the time so I think a good portion of the auction sale results are bad info because the sales are going to re-sellers who hold on to pieces for years.

Yes. Weigh this fact, against the venue. Many of us will not do business with ComicConnect (for various reasons). That reduces both the competition and liquidity in their sales. But if you will do business with them, then you should be prepared to bid appropriate to a clearly thinner bidding pool (meaning gappy results -highs and lows- are to be expected, the opposite of the highly liquid marketplace of others Houses, say...Heritage ;)).

@Rick2you2 is correct - bid of at least $300 is still on the low side of FMV for anybody that really wants to take it home. Just the way it is. Now Anthony may still have won it (by bidding over $300), but you would have made him work for it. And that's proper too :)

That’s quite a mark up! Although when you factor in that Anthony is probably throwing in a signed random Esad Ribic print,.,,then the flip spread doesn’t seem so off puttinglol
