Pushing $20k with the juice is mind boggling. It's just a panel page, and it's not even from Cockrum's early X-Men run. In my opinion, prices realized continue to be insane on most of the items. Prices have shot up so much in such a short amount of time. Who are the people paying that are paying these prices? Are most people going into debt over these wins? Two years ago on HA another X-Men #154 page went for 20% that price and it was a nice all Storm action page. Crazy.

It is amazing. It kind of tells you if you see something on a dealer's site that looks 20-30% more than you want to pay.........buy it!!!

Definitely the Kazan cover, Kazar with the guns, and the bikini girl, some dude with guns, dinosaurs and other stuff. Much nicer than the SS cover that’s garbage. It went for around $4k more than I wanted to pay. But I bought it anyway. I'm playing the dealer's game... it makes the other ones I own worth more, right.

Similar, there are pieces in every collection that would/could blow up 50-100% over “recent” sales at auction. Auction fever spurs higher and higher prices in an already strong market.

ThothAmon Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Nice! I assume your talking about the SS? It went for about 8k more than I was hoping. Guess I’ll just have to be happy with this. Chris Cooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one that sold on HA went for $11k+ and it was over a decade later and no where near as interesting. Any higher and I would have lost....but I didn't.

sfilosa Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I thought the Pollard Super-Villain cover was excellent. But over $30k with no super-heroes and really only one good villain (Red Skull) seemed pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Those Peanuts The two Sunday's just crushed it and the 1952 went decent but I wouldn't have been surprised to see it pass $100k. Guess I am glad I snagged my recent 1959 Sunday the beginning of this year. Edited April 2, 2021 by batman_fan Twanj and grapeape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBerman Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Heh, the Sienkiewicz Dune cover went for 8x its pre-auction high bid. Auction fever!

Brian Peck Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Most of the artwork going for high prices are major publishers Marvel and DC and. comic art related. I am amazing that a Spy vs Spy two part Antonio Prohias when for $9600. Most go for around $3K and this is a slightly later one 4 years after the first one was published.

Brian Peck Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Is $120K the most paid for a piece of comic art from an 80's independent publisher (not counting Crumb and underground art)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
