lou_fine Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Well, it would appear that these 3 haven't really moved up that much in the past week except for the FF 214 which is now at $8,500. Guess we are going to have to sit back and wait for the fireworks on Thursday when the big hammer comes down on these Frazetta Famous Funnies. piper and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a closer look and it would appear that a collector must be cashing out as they've got the entire 8-issue Frazetta run in this auction spread between Thursday and Saturday. If you are after the entire run which I doubt, $30K will definitely NOT do it since the set is already over $30K even without the BP juice in there.

Mmehdy Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I posted in original art about the new Frazetta Tashen 486 page massively large book which was just released by them and I am waiting for Amazon to send it to me. On the special edition , the cover is from FF213...I have to say I have never seen any reproduction and coloring nicer. If someone can link that video review of the book which was posted in OA to this posting...you will confirm with your own eyes how really great this book is!!!! You can check out some great shots of #213 on the Tashen website.. amazing book!!!! The SE is limited to 1000 copies and has a slipcase and inside different ID plate...but same book that be ordered on amazon for only $180.....

What a relief, right? It's a beautiful set, and your 214 is very nice 😍. I completed my set this year, and just as you're looking to upgrade your 215, I'm hungry to upgrade my 214! There's something insatiable about this run...I find it hard to quell the pangs of jealousy I get when I see other collectors' sets. 😂 Its the Frazetta effect! I was the underbidder on your old 214 @Ricksneatstuff, and sad to not have pulled it in! Sorry you had to let those beauties go, but I'm happy that you're replacing them with a new home!

The 5.0 #214 is already at $4200 and counting... too rich for my blood! It's an absolute stunner, but at that price point I'm happy to be out of the hunt.
