I'm sure many fondly remember the book but yeah, surprised me too. Then again, its only 3x an invaders cover, I guess Well when you put it like that !

It was an iconic piece but wow. Iconic and Maximum Nostalgia, baby! For many of us, this was our first chance to read the first appearances of Marvel's lead heroes. But yeah, that price is much higher than I expected. Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received higher offers privately for the Maxx 1/2 cover, Someone got a steal for peak Kieth Maxx in his MCP style. I’m actually trying to find the buyer as I’d like the opportunity to get it back someday. I still can’t believe what the Punisher went for but it was a really nice piece. My Frazetta watercolor went below what I purchased it for and was surprised. Azrael did ok I thought my MCP 2 was a good buy. Congrats to the new owner. My Knightfall and Maximum Carnage pages were good buys too. I never intended on selling these and only purchase what I love which made this difficult. I’m sure I have pieces that would have a higher return but 90s OA needs more time to mature. Twanj and John E. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s because it’s published but did extremely well. Or is Jones OA hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly amazing pieces of quality 90s art delivered hefty proceeds that I know are going to important needs. I thought my proxy bid for the Kelley Jones would win it but foiled by a cut bid. Jim Lee Punisher pieces are blazing hot, esp those with Wolverine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen an Idyl or I'm Age at auction in 7-8 years, so I'm guessing it's pent up demand. mtlevy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
