I still do it, but in theory the time is spend is just the extra leisure time I have (e.g. I am surfing ebay while watching TV) so "rewarding for time" isn't a concept. I still had a few good ones last year, but its definitely less than previous years. Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B. Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hi all! I just posted a new ComicArtAds auction preview, focusing on this week's Heritage weekly auction closing on 2/11/18.

Heritage withdrew that Ron Lim Infinity War #1 page. I appreciate your kind words! That's strange about the Infinity War #1 page. Maybe the consignor insisted that the page be listed in a Signature auction instead of a weekly auction? It was a nice piece for a weekly auction, but Heritage has run Amazing Spider-Man pages from the late 1960s in weekly auctions, so you see that sort of thing once in a while.

Lee B. Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi all! I just posted a new column my ComicArtAds website, where I once again try to predict the closing prices on some pages in this week's Heritage auction, included pieces by Aparo, Perez, and Tuska/Everett/Colletta: http://www.comicartads.com/content/heritage-weekly-auction-ending-32518 Thanks, Lee Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great you give back to the hobby this way. l do, however, think you are too high on the Phantom Stranger page. The price on all Aparo work has moved up, as you note, but you used one as a reference which was not just better, but I think was high priced for the overall market.

Thanks for the kind feedback Rick! You weren't the only person to accuse me of being too high on 4/20. I guess we were both a little too conservative with our estimates, as the page closed at $1,500 plus BP. I think the Phantom Stranger page was very special and quite worth it. These Aparo prices are going to be interesting to watch over the next few weeks/months. Cheers, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Aparo prices are going to be interesting to watch over the next few weeks/months. Cheers, Lee Honestly, I was shocked at the price. For Aparo/Phantom Stranger panel pages, it is the highest one yet. When I first read that story, and saw that page, I obviously liked what it contained. But, I was also concerned the book would be cancelled. The Phantom Stranger was supposed to be a "Stranger", right? Well, there was another issue, of course, and quite a few afterward. But when the run hit number 41, the last of the Vol. 2 books, it ended with the Phantom Stranger and Cassandra Craft vanishing together. Just as I was worried about with this one. By the way, no one was going to beat my bid on that one. They can beat me on the next one, and I've lost on other ones, but not that one.

I'll have to see if I have time for any Signature predictions. There is just so much stuff in that auction, I may not know where to begin. The weekly auctions seem more manageable. But if I have some time during a work trip this week, I might try to do some Signature auction predictions. Thanks for the suggestion!
