This stuff may be considered the red headed stepchild compared to Marvel, but apparently DC has been drinking it's milk and doing lots of push-ups behind closed doors. A big tide lifts all boats.

Seems like new money pouring into '80 & '90s OA ..... would certainly explain the recent 2x-3x price leaps and throwing out of valuation norms.

The Voord Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, stinkininkin said: Not sure about value on this. I love Wood, but don't follow this market as closely as others. My question is, is this the Alpha and Omega of Wood covers? He did so many great ones, but I feel like this might be THE one. Would this be an accurate assessment? I don't do guesstimates but think the SSS # 6 is likely to smash previous records for a Woody EC cover. To tie into Lee Benaka's efforts, the # 6 cover originally sold for $2.288 on March 30, 1983 in the Russ Cochran EC art auctions. Pretty strong price for back then. I bought two complete EC stories in the same auction, including one from # 6. Edited April 4, 2021 by The Voord Lee B. and Chris Cooper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a couple of shallow speed bumps along the way but basically all private assets will run hot into 2032. There is likely to be a significant one when enough people have gotten vaccinated that they feel they can divert their spare funds to vacations, going out to dinner, etc. Let’s see if prices are still flying by the end of summer. szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade can still be appealing for specific things otherwise off-market, but private cash action unless sickeningly rich makes little sense.

sfilosa Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 With Heritage, if you have to pay the 20% seller fee and the Buyer has to pay the 20% fee, that’s a lot of money taken away from the consignor. Any they charge sales tax, unlike a private sale or trade. Even if you use art to to pay for your winnings, they still charge sales tax. Of course dealers are tax exempt so they have an advantage in that respect. Legion of Goom and Noob19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New money will be out getting vacations, dining, etc., too. Strangely, I saw an article about NFT art already dropping (strange since it didn’t even exist until recently, but not surprising). Pricing may stay up, because prices tend to be sticky downward even if sales volume drops (no one wants to give up phantom profits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the term used for prying loose closely held art treasures is about to switch from "stupid money" to "auction money".

AnkurJ Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Not everything went nuts. The X-men 2 page sold for not much more than it did a few years ago. The seller will net about a 1k profit.

Bronty Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) did the comic sessions have any service interruptions? Both video game sessions, but especially today's have been a shytshow.
