aokartman Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Seems like a collection liquidation which had some surprises and disappointments for the consignor, which is the way of auctions. Seemed like a decent sale, and good luck to Taurus in the future! Some graded books went low. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find out until after it's the cover to Infernal Man-Thing 1. I'm thinking the questioning of the integrity of the auction house played a part in a lower hammer price. I think it's legit, pretty much everything looked on the up and up to me and at the price it was worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking questions on it this morning before the auction, they did not say it was a cover or even published, I did not know either so I would not go that high on it. After speaking to them most of the day I do not think it was so much an integrity thing but lack of knowledge thing. The Jae Lee sketch @Bird mentioned above that I won, was of wolverine.. yet listed as an unknown artist Batman sketch....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I was outbid on the few lots I was trying for. No biggie. The auction house is only a half hour from me though. Will keep an eye on future offerings. Edited January 7, 2019 by AnkurJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Sergio Argone Dave Cocrun (that one was on a sketchbook with Cockrum's name on the cover!) Brando Peterson Simonson's sketch with his distinctive signature unattributed Jae Lee unattributed Horrific mistakes but some very very cheap prices on the sketches and many slabs They should call me to verify stuff, I never realized what an expert I am but doing this for 30 years helps!

MIL0S Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I won a couple of items also. Pieces looked legit but as previously noted lots of issues with the listings (misspelled names, misattributed art (‘Grell’ Canete sketch, ‘Buscema’ Illiad Pages) and identifiably signed sketches with no artist noted which means there were potential deals for buyers but why would anyone consign with them? Unless it was an estate sale I would think any collector would feel he’d get better action from a more established comic/art auction house.

John E. Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Looks like the winners made out like bandits. I wonder if this will happen a second time. I’m certainly going to keep a closer eye next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
