Sweet, how often do they send these?  

Typically every signature, so about every three months.

Clarification: six figures or more on a single lot. Doing so multiple times over time too.

If you're not getting any love, you're not asking or not asking the right way.

And of course that would be asking before the sale, announcing your intention and being contractually bound to it.

First I’ve heard. And yes, I’ve spent 6 figures on a single lot dozens and dozens of times since 2002 

should clarify always on the comic side. I’ve only ever bid 6 figures 1x on art and lost

It should go without saying, but I'll write it anyway for everybody: all of my above comments assume you're paying cash, not consigning to future sales to "pay" for your wins in part or whole. That doesn't mean it's impossible to structure a deal in that manner, but Cash is King, everyone else: back of the line.

This is a very quiet auction thus far.  I suppose in part to the dog days of summer, but I can only imagine the rabid bidding frenzy set to occur during the live auction, with so much quality material at play.

and the November preview is already shaping up to be another stellar auction 🥳

so to clarify, you are stating that heritage has offered you, something most/all other bidders are not offered, in a public auction, the opportunity to reduce the buyer's premium you would pay for your bids?...

Kirby FF cover already at $250K

Same price as the cheapest Cryptopunk NFT. 

$250K for classic comic art looks positively dirt cheap by comparison.

A friend/colleague of mine works for Visa crypto.  I'm positive she had a say in their Cryptopunk pickup.  Hell, I'd pick up a few if I could use Visa's warchest...

Visa spending $150K on a Cryptopunk for their collection of corporate commerce curiosities (how's that for alliteration ) is like me spending $5 on a new comic book...nothing to read into IMO.

I keep thinking that say 10 years from now all these NFT buyers will deeply regret having what is analogous to Dutch tulips…nice to look at but miserable investments. In 2031, no barriers to entry as anyone can crank out NFTs but the hundreds for free on their AI-enabled iPhone24s.  Just saying.

99% of NFTs are worthless.  But the ingrained powers-that-be for thingamajiggers like Cryptopunks, NBA Topshot, etc... aren't letting that happen.

I don’t think they are worthless. But, they are not worthwhile.

Does anybody know if there’s an option of having something framed shipped frameless? There are a few pieces I’m eyeing that I have no desire for the frames, or to pay framed shipping costs. 

[tth2]

They probably would not want the potential liability for damage from the unframing process.

Yes. Or there was the last time I asked for it a few years ago.

When you ask, you agree to waive liability.

I just called my banker and was finally able to utter the 4 words that I was starting to think I would never be able to say:

"Blue Horseshoe loves Spike"

All assets are being liquidated so I can make a run at this.  

 

 

 

 

 

IT

It is a peak strip into why pre-1970s were the best years 

[zhamlau]

At what dollar point would you buy the...uh..."Spike Strip" (in a non-ironic way that is)?

I'll buy nearly any piece of art if I truly believe it is being grossly undervalued by the seller. What would be the top amount people would pay for this even if they hated it as a concept? 6k?

Honestly, I don’t get it. The bad joke, yes, but the strip includes one of his worst Peanuts characters telling a Borscht Belt joke to his “friend.” Nothing special about the scene, except to drive home why Spike is a mediocre character. Certainly not a classic like Lucy pulling away the football. So why is this so desired?
