gumbydarnit Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 What is interesting is, it will be touted as the first 1M piece of comic book art ever sold, but it isn't really comic book art... it's a book illustration, so we really haven't reached that milestone have we?

Top end of estimate isn't too far off what you could make in many buy/hold situations that were present back then and didn't crater every several years for dot-com, 9/11, housing, etc Nostrvodouamas has spoken!!!

cstojano Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) PIH did not charge me sales tax the last time I won a lot, which I think was their last auction. They have that blanket warning but did not actually charge it to me in Arizona. no Ken Kelly Conan for me. no Ploog Conan for me. A distinguished gentleman I am not.
