sfilosa Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I've got my eye (and maybe my money) on a number of items. Pricing is pretty high on a number of them. That said, I kind of want to know if I have any chance on some, the sooner the better. But it does seem that "quality" material at this point in time could just sell for double or triple what it might have sold for a year or two ago. And those are real dollar jumps. It's one thing for a $1k page to be $3k (I can still afford if so desired) but from $20k to $60k is a totally different level. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stinkininkin Posted March 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2021 For what it's worth, Whilce Portacio and myself did not ink this particular page from Longshot #6. This was pencilled AND inked by Art Adams. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/art-adams-whilce-portacio-and-scott-williams-longshot-6-story-page-35-original-art-marvel-1986-/a/7242-94023.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 I think the inks are brilliant, and frankly better than what Whilce and I accomplished on that series. Just an fyi... Twanj, MagnusX, Ecclectica and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shills, I tell you! In all seriousness, as is always the case, there's lots of movement in the first week as people get in their tracking bids/thrill bids/shill bids, and then things will barely move until the last couple of days, and then it'll all be irrelevant anyways because the pieces will sell for whatever they sell for during live bidding (which will be significantly higher than where they were during internet bidding).

sfilosa Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The main thing for me is for several pieces that I could be interested in to be way over what I would want to pay. Therefore, I can focus on the one or two items that look like I still have a shot. About every other auction I walk away with something I really wanted. I'm focusing on buying one or two quality pieces this time and hopefully not settling for pieces that catch my eye but really aren't a high priority. We will see if that works.

Bronty Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) anybody win anything at the European art auction this weekend? I forgot about it. I was hoping to buy two Don Rosa pages, and one stayed reasonable at 5k which I'm bummed I didn't throw some bids on, but the other went for 24k so I wasn't going to win that anyways. So, is that a record at auction for a Rosa panel? anybody pick anything up? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/don-rosa-kalle-anka-and-c-o-donald-duck-and-company-1995-24-planche-2-uncle-scrooge-egmont-1995-total-2-original/a/7253-51128.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 Edited March 15, 2021 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a brief scan through the platinum nite stuff, and while a few pieces already have strong bids, a lot of them don't...yet. (FYI, the Stevens Alien World's cover has jumped to $81K; was $43K yesterday) Likewise, looking through the Friday closings, the vast majority of the pieces haven't been affected by 'price discovery', and yes, I'm aware its still very early in the auction cycle but to be completely frank, I'd say its a bit underwhelming at the moment.

I was disappointed that I forgot about the auction. One Rosa page that I found very memorable went for 5k, I would have made someone pay more at the least. Oh well At least I saved the money, but I'm still pretty annoyed. And then I did the same thing yesterday with some Canadian golden age I forgot to bid on.

Agree, plus the 25% BP makes it tougher for bidders. I bid on the Michel Vaillant F1 page ($13,750) and the Bianchi Spidey 20 cover ( $6875) but lost on both lots. C’est la vie.

Is that a consistent price range now for Vic pages from the run? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/denys-cowan-et-bill-sienkiewicz-the-question-37-planche-2-dc-comics-vertigo-2010-/a/7253-52257.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
