Bronty Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Sounds like ditko spidey. He made it sound like a single character’s eponymous title. First ten issues. Something Conrad would have and worth 4500 in 1997. Not many things that could be. Edited October 13, 2019 by Bronty grapeape and Bill C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Tremendous stuff in this auction. I consigned a bunch of stuff and looks like my art is all going to Nov 24-Sunday Dec 1?!!? I thought one or two pieces at least might make this auction but there is so much great stuff here I am not really surprised.

You have to tell Heritage that you want your pieces to go into a Signature auction. Otherwise, unless it's a piece that they definitely want to go into a Signature auction, they'll always try to push stuff into their weekly auctions to boost the weekly auctions.

Yeah, there is a minimum valuation threshold for OA entry into a Signature auction. Last time I spoke with Lon, I believe it was $3K per piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with your statement at all. Just saying there is a minimum valuation that must be meet before you even have that discussion with HA to put your piece in a Sig auction.

cstojano Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 For those potentially interested in the Frazetta gollum piece I was told to expect a reserve around 200k for this, which means I can stop trying to raise a war chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonahjameson11 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just took a look at the entirety of OA offerings for this auction and I can honestly say that it will be extremely difficult to remain disciplined, focused, and out of the poor house. This auction has all of the makings to inject major wallet damage! grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstojano Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I can't find the thread where this painting was discussed but I recall many were down on it.

I still don't think its a great frazetta, and the price is looney tunes. IMHO, and no offense to the buyer. I just don't think its what people really want in a frazetta.
