spider9698 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I believe it was $600,000 when I saw it there last year. Since it didn't sell, it will likely be $900,000 this year. Terry E.

Popular Post Unstoppablejayd Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 I thought the show was great... as far as the prices? They are what they are ... mega pieces have mega prices. But there were decent pieces to be had if you dig through the portfolios. @AnkurJsaid it well in his write up.. they are not motivated to move those wall pieces because they have to pay up to replace them lol. personally I came home with three pages and couldn’t be happier.

Rick2you2 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I had seen the pieces I was somewhat interested in on-line, and didn't see anything new or interesting for me. There were some new things, but not a lot IMO. Prices that I knew from being on-line were the same. I didn't bother trying to negotiate, since they didn't excite me enough to be worth it. But, it was good to see people I knew there and chit chat with them again. That made the experience worthwhile. I am surprised that no one who has a reasonably close facility tries to sell supplies, except for Anthony's Itoya box. Yes, they take up a lot of space, and no, I wouldn't do it if I were flying in, but they should be an easy few bucks for top loaders, for example.

If you can’t be there it’s cool to see these photos for a taste of the floor. I REALLY dig the Byrne Alpha Flight poster art, I’m sure I wouldn’t dig the price tho! If I told you the price of that piece was $50K*, now would that be something you might be interested in? * that was indeed the asking price for the piece Edited September 21, 2020 by delekkerste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! @bisquitodoom - a friend of mine who collects said it looks unfinished, and while I see what he is saying I tend to agree with you - on these covers he seems to ink the “true” black spots of the cover and I think that actually accentuates the pencil art. I targeted this one in particular for the strong wolverine image and sentinels looming around the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another note, Anthony was giving free portfolios with every purchase! What a guy! Really nice! The reprint of this was the second Silver Age X-men book I ever bought. I thought the cover was really cool, and this splash has the same sort of feel to it. No battle, but it's almost cooler without it. Really nice Magneto image. He really didn't appear that much in the book between Kirby and Steranko, so there aren't many to pick from in this run.

Twanj, just one more bid (the last one) and you would have won it, so close yet so far away! ; ) Still you were much closer to winning than I was.

The Heritage description has let us down as well: "The board has been closely trimmed and there is some handling wear with a few small edge tears, but nothing that will take away from the eye-appeal, once the art has been framed for display (and trust us, you'll want to show this baby off)" ...I mean, I guess it is being shown off. It's just not quite frame-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
