Good points. Kravens last hunt pages have indeed taken a jump in realized prices in the last year. Its the Wild West at these auctions nowadays with prices all over the map, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more KLH pages coming to auction with these big numbers, I wonder what the covers could fetch??....

Check the HA archives…I think one cover sold about a year ago

Lost every bid, was only even underbidder on one lot (turner trading card). Oh well, I'm cheap what can ya do?

Haven't bought any art in years - got no more room on the walls,  - but could not resist this Venom cover, which I won yesterday at Comiclink:

Any thoughts on the two Y: The Last Man pages going for $1900 and $1800 respectively? They're both nice pages with Yorrick on them from early in the series, but that price seems to be unprecedented. TV show bump?

Missed the auction because I had to travel. I did buy something on the trip to wipe my tears with though.

I didn't think they were unprecedented results. Early pages with Yorick are about $1,500-1,700 if they are ever available. Better examples (with Ampersand or title pages from early issues) have traded hands for much more than that. You can't get near a page from #1 for less than $10k, if you can find one. To me, this is just the auction houses catching up to the private market with quality material up for public sale for the first time in a while. The Hulu release later this year certainly doesn't hurt...

Full disclosure: I have a lot of early YTLM pages as I think they are awesome, but I am currently selling some through CL to lighten up my collection. But I am not trying to hype up my sales here...

Thanks for the insight!

Yup, it’s now in the marketplace section. 

Thanks. I was eyeballing that and wondered if I had imagined the whole thing. I didn't think Clink could do a move with no reserve auctions. Btw, I did see that page last sell for $5k at heritage some years back.

Any thoughts on the McKean Sandman cover hitting almost $37k? Seems like a good, solid result, but I'm not as tuned in to the Sandman art market as I used to be. Curious to see where it'd have gotten to had it been one of his mixed media pieces comprising the entirety of the published cover (as it is, full sized published McKean Sandman paintings aren't growing on trees)

There's a premium assigned to the early pages because a. they're early and b. they have lettering on them as a bonus. Still, these went for higher than I would have guessed. I'm sure there will be new interest thanks to the show...time will tell if this is the new normal for Y pages.

Very good result. Yes, it was published, but not instantly recognizable because of the way the art was formatted. Was available for a time with a dealer for quite a bit less not that long ago. Seller did well on a flip.
