What do I not understand about this Curt Swan Superman page? 0

I know it's an early work, but it went higher than I expected.  Good thing I wasn't going after it.

Famous page where Superman gives Lois his "Ber-tal in a box".

I think he’s kidding. Just went through the HA archives and there are a number of pre 1965 Swan interior pages that have sold in the $3k+ range. When it comes to Swan the earlier the more expensive.

Twice up silver age Swan with Superman flying into Lois Lanes bedroom, and some random kitschy tiny super-hero in a box doing goofy ....On every level that hits the requirements for people buying Lois Lane pages, exceptional quality gets exceptional prices IMO.

That is an awesome page and I would dearly love to own it.  Personally I think Curt Swan is way undervalued.  He drew perfectly, smoothly, accurately and could draw anything.  He was the Kirby of DC, being their main artist for 4 decades.

Supes flies into Lois's bedroom to confront her over her Hidden-Box (I think that's what's going on?) . . . what's not to love?

Well, the logic isn't so hot. Ber-tal can fly so he doesn't need superstrength to lift the box.
