GreatCaesarsGhost Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I’m a fan of single pages, but this is up to $500 with 100 watchers!! Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Here is a page I found in a stack of coverless that wanted to share because it has a VERY interesting feature.... "Snappy" was a one page cartoon feature found in early Crack Comics. There's nothing super special about the feature BUT.... This particular page I found has the artist's info printed on some newsprint and glued to the back of this Snappy page. I imagine it was the way the artist Arthur Beeman got work? He would send single finished printed pages of his work around to different publishing houses? Kind of a cool piece of comic history. It's from Crack Comics 18 Has anyone seem anything like this before?

Overpriced IMO, the majority of bidders stopped at around $300 and it was two guys who drove it up the rest of the way. Remember decades ago one company thought to introduce a product that was a clear display which included dozens of tiny pieces from the most valuable key comics ever (pieces of Action 1, AF15, Batman 1, Cap1 etc basically like a comic version of the "Mini Museum" displays you can still buy today) and they were mocked and laughed off the internet without getting it funded...stuff like this makes me think they would have sold out had they waited to release it in these bonkers times.

Well c'mon now, the cover would have went for many thousands even in poor shape. That particular splash page in really nice condition would have probably hit around 5k these days.

Popular Post LDarkseid1 Posted November 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2022 Well, I wasn’t intending to get a 2nd Action 1 page, but here I am lol. I threw an offer out, my lowest offer and was surprisingly accepted. So now have two splash pages from Action 1 which is kinda cool. Have had the Zatara page for a while, now own the Marco Polo. pmpknface, GreatCaesarsGhost, zen514 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Balls Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I bought a brick from the original Yankee Stadium when it was torn down as a gift to my father-in-law - and he really enjoys it. I think there’s a lot of people out there that are good with owning a little torn off piece of history. Same thing with those piece of jersey fabric in card collecting circles. Our population keeps growing at a rate that there won’t be enough rare collectible items in certain categories as the years go by. If Batman is still popular 50 years from now, I’d wager this little corner of a page will be quite valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I purchased a bunch of Dickie Dean pages from Ron Goulart, I think. I only found the source of one story. I've always been impressed by these early Silver Streak comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people on the single pages group in Facebook ask them to reverse the page in the slab if it would put the better / more significant art at the front for display (as sometimes the page might have ads on the front but all the comic art on the back) Chicago Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
