Don't even bother checking or bidding on anything this month.

rsonenthal Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I just looked through the catalogs (got them today). I think the BWS Weapon X cover is in ComicLink, and I agree it's pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t my favorite, Wolverine in a META VR helmet just doesn’t do it for me. tth2, jsylvester and cloud cloddie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm afraid of. Unfortunately, the cash in my bank account has also gone stealth mode. cloud cloddie, batman_fan, Sideshow Bob and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly sort of like this. Something about the color ranges and scale. It’s got this like weird energy. I’d happily display that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s that thing the bear is fighting? It looks like an old, wrinkled, wingless dragon with pig’s feet. Not iconic, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaid take, of course, but I will sheepishly admit to kind of digging this one-armed soldir recoiling from the muskrat-bear vs ptery-pig-lizard. He clearly did it in five minutes but those were five pretty good minutes. I think Frazetta has much worse paintings, even if you don't get into the racist stuff. YMMV.

I always thought he was the one armed man but after looking closely, you can see his arm. I am trying to think which of his paintings is worse.

tth2 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Reserve of $240k on the TOS 50 1st Mandarin. Reserve of $120k on the JIM 93 splash. Reserve of $150k on the Conan 15 cover. Why do OA consignors have no cajones? Edited November 13, 2021 by tth2 jsylvester, Twanj and MAY1979 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a consistent theme that OA consignors don't have the stones to just let it ride. MAY1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if a consigner insists on a reserve, the auction house should make it a low end # to ensure it sells. Not some pie-in-the-sky # with the hope someone out there trips it. Though I guess in this crazy market maybe they all hit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
