The rest could be everyone else playing wait and see what the other guy does. Everyone hoping against hope no one else is looking at what they want. Yes. But there are some incredible pieces that should be bucking the trend in this auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, perhaps you should bid on them and try to flip ‘em No, on the other side I don't think the Marvel 1 is worth 975Kplus which bid, I value it about 777K, I don't think the Frtiz thunda page is worth 30K with BP either...I know of a private sale of a 8 page Feldstein story earlier this year that broke his previous records based upon that, the current price and my value of it are conservative to say the least.

Yeah, my consignments still need to rise more than 80% just for me to break even! And, with the exception of the Tank Girl piece, all the other pieces were purchased between 2003 and 2011 (i.e., at what I would consider to be good prices by today's standards), so, I would consider just breaking even to be a disappointment. I would consider breaking even to be the absolute minimum acceptable outcome. That said, I see A LOT of things in this auction that are ~50% or less of where I would peg FMV. I'm just going to assume for now that everything will normalize by the time those gavels hammer down over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCarter27 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Just wanted to offer my services again before the auction... For a 2% fee, I will completely justify any and all reasons you have for bidding on a particular piece. I will make you feel confident, secure, and powerful in your choices. For a 5% fee, I will point out all of the reasons you should NOT bid on a lot, thereby saving you wheelbarrows of cash and lifting an existential weight. For a 10% fee, I will authenticate any lot. Comes with a a free certificate and will absolutely hold up in court when the heirs come for you. For a 35% fee, I will auction your art myself. PM me!

Brian Peck Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Killing Joke - $102K Now that is crazy!!!! Batman in one panel (hands in two) and the rest is shots of the Batcave and pics of Joker.

I was at $660K with a range of $504K to $720K. Thought that HA would have gotten it above the Hulk #180 and ASM #328 but it fell just short. Wonder if it was guaranteed at $500K hammer.

From watching the bidding there were Book, In Person, and Phone bids all driving the live bidding including a cut or two in there. Pretty healthy.

Pretty healthy. I have no doubt that, whether it was guaranteed or not, there would be real interest not far from that level. But, if there was an implicit or explicit guarantee, I'm sure you'd still see "activity" getting it up to that level, so, such activity wouldn't necessarily preclude the existence of a guarantee (either for this or any other lot that might carry one). lb jefferies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I just think the activity and the guarantee could exist independently of each other on a lot like this. It's certainly more organic feeling than the one and done bid lots.
