glendgold Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Holy cow. Cap 103 cover, that insane FF 59 Black Bolt demi-splash, and, most importantly, the litmus test for the future of the hobby, a Sal Buscema cover. https://comics.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=1058&N=52+792+4294943616+1067+&limitTo=all&ic5=CatalogHome-ActionArea-Search-071515 Edited August 10, 2019 by glendgold Remembered the word "demi" and decided to use it even if I'm too lazy to look it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Terrific cover. 250 seems fair. Edited August 10, 2019 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCarter27 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Cap is so tiny on there. Red Skull fans out there? Personally, I don't like this above $80-90K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo M Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I looked up the FF 59 half splash in the comic. Difficult to price. Amazing image of BBolt, large art. But the two top panels are not that interesting and no FF. Not quite sure where it will end up. Would look very nice on the wall though....

It’s a beauty but I think you’re pretty spot on. Not higher anyways. Now on a good day......two bidders with I don’t give a blank attitudes and the bankrolls to duke it out....

Kirby sorta prime, Sal sorta prime....hmm based on a select few the irrefutable opinions on this board...1.8 million to .53 cents in Kirby’s favor? Or something like that, I think once you try and measure it you change the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mouth not only but look at the man on the left side, Skulls clothing is not in alignment with him anymore, the point of fabric goes from over his face to above the head.

I think the original looks way better than the published. To me, Red Skull looks way more menacing. zhamlau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means this a prelim or unused cover and people should discount their bids accordingly, to a point less than what I would pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey7 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think the Sal Sub-mariner cover is a really nice example. Will be interesting to see what it goes for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
