ASM 100 cover for sale

[spider9698]

Well, I had heard through the grapevine about the possibility of the cover becoming available and tonight Spencer Beck made it official. He will be auctioning off the cover to ASM 100. BSD please step up and be counted.

[g-man]

what's your guess? $10K 50K? sky's the limit?

[spider9698]

I'm waiting for a scan. Rumor had it there were condition issues. Regardless, it should go for crazy money. Burkey sold the 101 for 40K. Likely 50-75K. The main issue is NO time payments and FULL payment due in 10 days. That will eliminate 90% of the potential buyers (myself included).

At least he's not asking for a bag of cash.

Should be interesting ....very interesting !!!!!!!!!

[spider9698]

Those interested please email Spencer at SpencerBck@aol.com.

Just got the scan and am waiting for a condition report.

[spider9698]

Close enough, no credit cards; cash, bank check or money order. Time to check the cushions on the couch for loose change.

If it were going through Heritage I would say you were right on the money. But with no time payments or trade, the final price might suffer.

SPIDER9698,

 

I COULDA SWORN IVE HEARD THIS IS AN "ALL-STAT" COVER. THATS A MAJOR LEAGUE FLAW IF EVEN HALF TRUE. AM CURIOUS AS TO THE DETAILS.

Spencer just emailed me. Only the logos and corner box art are stats. Done on board. This cover will be a good barometer of how much "money" is in the art market. Huge, iconic piece but deal must be done in 10 days and for cash, no trade.

Stephen,

when i saw his email regarding this "auction" , i was like "WHOAA" ! - Then when i see the list of conditons that he set on it, i am thinking alot of collectors are going to have to pass. - For those who missed the email, here is a highlight :

explanation.

The final decision as to the sale of the art will be made by me and my decisio

The Artist's Choice has been given the RARE opportunity to sell not one, not

two, not three, but FOUR small private collections of early, mid and late

Lastly .. There will be MORE AWESOME ART to come ( one or two at a time only

) after this auction is completed ... so watch out for more information. HINTS

of art to come ... STEVE DITKO, JACK KIRBY, MARIE SEVERIN, BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH, JOHN ROMITA, SR., HARVEY KURTZMAN and MUCH MORE ...

what's your guess? $10K 50K? sky's the limit?

 

90K -120 K

So after running this through the KK hype filter, it should be $45-60K.

Interesting how you had it a few years back and yet didn't know whether it was all stats or not.
