bisquitodoom Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 8 hours ago, The Shoveler said: How does it affect the value of a first appearance page when that first appearance page did not appear first? Gambit first appeared in Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 in July 1990. Then he (later) appeared in Uncanny X-Men #266 in August 1990. I don't think it matters much in this case. It was really just a scheduling mistake by Marvel at the time. X-Men 266 is the first chronological appearance, and was definitely intended to come out first. It may boost the value of the Annual's cover a bit, but I doubt it would ever come close to the price tag of the 266 cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Gambit appears on the UXM Annual cover (as far as I can see), but I could understand if story page #12 has some additional interest (Gambit tax?) associated with it. And he doesn't figure prominently in any of the Annual's panel pages or in the overall action of that story. Thank you for your reply, bisquit!

I think this is a clear example where the OA market will follow the comic market. There's novelty interest in UXM Annual 12, but 266 has always been the key issue. Plus I feel like this cover gets an extra bump because it's so much nicer looking than the interiors. If Kubert did the interiors of this issue as well as the cover I'd imagine they'd be going for 4-5x what they're going for today. Gambit may not be at his zenith in popularity today, but he's well remembered. Heck, the X-Men cartoon of the 90's alone made him an icon for my generation.

Some beautiful stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyThreeSons Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 30 minutes into the auction and FF 77 cover minimum bid 69K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flambit Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 FF 77 now at 75k. Welp, I guess no FF cover for me haha. I wonder where it will end up. I think I said 250k earlier somewhere, but I'm thinking of pushing my bet up to maybe even 300k... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCarter27 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Do we see more "tracking bids" at Clink because of their lack of a watch system? Good for the consignor although why people haven't figured out how to bookmark a page is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanfromottawa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Does comiclink use a system similar to comic connect at the end of their auction for 'extended bidding'? Where as if a bid is placed with under 2 minutes to go , it goes into extended time of an additional two minutes every time another bid is placed ?

Tracking bids will always show up, so i can see what page x sold for 3-4 years ago. BCarter27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaSealed Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Fast and furious bidding to start on several pieces. I ended up placing more tracking bids than I thought I would. What is the record for an IG panel page? The Thanos/Death page is already over 5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very pleased with that progress because I also have a Perez thanos death page, the I saw that the clink page was the infinity gauntlet, quite prominently, which likely gives it a boost Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipB2k17 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That Infinity Gauntlet page is already at $5,055. Any guesses on where it ends up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put in a tracking bid they become searchable long after the auction is over in "your bids" tab. So even if links change or bookmarks are not on a particular computer or device you can always dig up the results in your Clink account.

NinjaSealed Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Preauction I was thinking 5-6k but obviously that will probably be eclipsed. I am curious if the A/A+ panel pages are potentially pushing 5 figure range. The movie hype effect has probably seeped into the Thanos/cosmic Marvel market more than any other. I can't help but wondering if after all this Thanos movie arc stuff is done if the pieces will recede in pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool art, cool page, but while I enjoyed it in 1991 well enough, I sure found it ultimately forgettable. I can hardly remember a single thing that happens in it, and I sure can't remember any particular pages. Its funny how the cosmic stuff seems to be either 'cool but kinda meh' or 'OMFGBBQ' for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably because Marvel stopped short of having the story REALLY mean anything by simply "undoing" everything Thanos did. There were very few truly lasting effects of that story which relegated the events to something akin to an "elseworlds" or "what if?" tale. The events were, basically and instantly, ret-conned. Bobby Ewing came out of the shower and told Thanos it was all a dream. delekkerste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager if all those major events had taken root in continuity and changed a bunch of the titles for years following it would have been more memorable, that's what I meant.
