NelsonAI Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The cover art is a nice looking DPS. However, this may be one of the few times where the back cover looks better than the front. Lol. Of course, the real crime in all of this is the seller trying to sell a used wok for $66. There must be some shill bids in there. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a more “important” cover for nostalgic story telling. It sold for $10,000 and a few dollars more a few years back at HA. I think the 85 cover is superior artistically and just a magnificent specimen. I think the mind blowing art, the fresh to market angle and a shot at grabbing a win off eBay with limited exposure all contributed to the madness. The #75 cover would definitely sell for more than the #85 now. It's been almost 7 years since it last sold at HA in May 2013 for $10,755 and, crucially, that 7 years makes an even bigger difference to the cohort most interested in buying drek memorable art from this era. I would not be at all surprised to see the #75 cover sell for 3-4x (or maybe even more!) its 2013 price if it were to be sold today. dichotomy and grapeape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah I get it. This is good news for those who collect drek. Adam Drek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie.Merwin Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I think the current owner of the #75 cover was one of the underbidders of the #85 cover also. He loves his nineties art, I'd be curious to know if he scored the #85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine HA letting an auction come to conclusion and then saying sorry, no sale.... Shenanigans. As a relative newcomer to the hobby, honestly I don’t take eBay seriously. I know there’s gold to be had, but I don’t like the system. So far I can live with it. I’d rather buy off CAF from someone with a healthy gallery and lots of interactions. grapeape and John E. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
