I’d prefer the wife to have money. 

Me too.  I'm still waiting for the wealthy heiress who'll sweep me off my feet.

 I now wish I went harder for the Dinosaur Frazetta loose painting, $10k seems real cheap right now :cry: 

Now that the day 5 prelims are closed this dinosaur was the steal of the Frazetta lots I think. Perhaps a bit too close to his infamous "racist" pieces for bidder's comfort? Scratchy prelims now seem to be 5k +/-.

Spectacular Spider-man #82 Milgrom panel page for $13,200?  Yes, it has a couple small images of Black Cat, but really ??    

Thought I had a chance at a nice G.I. Joe page, but I couldn't justify bidding more than the $6,900 that won it.  

I few years ago I thought I was slowly progressing toward the deeper end of the pool only to find myself back in the kiddie pool with my arm floaties on. :cry:

Although its not OA, I think this lot in the Sept HA auction containing Steve Ditko correspondence is pretty nifty:

Steve Ditko Correspondence Group of approximately 150 | LotID #30001 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com)

Steve Ditko Correspondence Group of approximately 150 (1973-2017). When young fan artist Russ Maheras decided to write a letter to Steve Ditko seeking advice on drawing comics in the spring of 1973, how could he have imagined that it would lead to a series of correspondence between him and the legendary creator that spanned over four decades. Private, mysterious, trailblazer, are just a few words used to describe prolific comic book legend Steve Ditko, creator or co-creator of such characters as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, The Question, The Creeper, and Hawk and Dove.
It is widely known that Ditko refused to give interviews or make public appearances. Despite creating such a wide host of beloved and admired characters, he chose to remain out of the spotlight. Each of the letters and postcards in the collection is signed, and most come with their original post-marked envelopes. His autograph was extremely difficult to obtain due to his reclusive nature and his abhorrence of comic-book conventions. To this day, Steve Ditko remains an enigma to many of his legion of fans. This treasure trove of correspondence presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dig deep into the psyche of a true comic-book genius.
This collection contains handwritten letters varying in length from 1 page to 16 pages, and they provide tips for a budding artist as well as an insight into the mind of the enigmatic creator, offering his opinions and views regarding, science, current events, literature, philosophy, art, politics, theology, and of course, superheroes. Topics discussed in this correspondence include: inking; penciling; comic art techniques; Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; Frank Frazetta; Will Eisner; Reed Crandall; Milt Caniff; Burne Hogarth; Wally Wood; Alex Toth; Gene Simmons and KISS; Marvel; Charlton; DC; EC; Superman; Batman; the Joker; Dr. Octopus; the first and second Spider-Man films; Peter Parker; Uncle Ben; Mary Jane; Green Goblin; Wonder Woman; the Creeper; the Question; Captain Atom; Blue Beetle; Green Arrow and Speedy; Anti-heroes; Prince Valiant, and many more.
Heritage is proud to present these handwritten letters to you. If you are a scholar of Ditko, or simply a fan, there is no question that these letters would be a treasured addition to any collection. They average Very Good condition.

Sold for $12K

No, Nasser/adams white tiger interior cover and a mignola epic cover. One out performed on bombed so all in all was fine.

Which is which ?  I got the White Tiger piece. 

My thought is Adams may have provided a layout but the rendering looks to be almost all Mike.  I think the "Nasser/Adams" credit was written by Mike.  It cost a lot less than Mike's Starspawn portfolio piece that sold on HA a few weeks ago.

Only the Frazetta consignments from the family get backstopped!
