The Secret Wars pages was about investment, right? Not about nostalgia or about the merit of Zeck as an artist (and I'm a Zeck fan!). This was about potential investment or moving one currency to another currency. Not what we all got into original art for in the first place. Right?

 

Yes, OA is the new hot thing for Chinese billionaires doing off-shore money laundering. Some might wonder why comic art verse traditional things like real-estate or fine art, but it makes sense once you realize this is the result of the cultural export and popularity of the MCU in the Chinese market.

Over $3.3M is wildly beyond anything I would've predicted. It reminds me of Heritage's sale of that graded Super Mario 64 last year for $1.5M. The final prices are so far beyond market price that it makes me question the legitimacy of the sale. Setting a record sales price at 20%, 30%, or 50% over what's largely considered to be FMV seems plausible to me. But this sales price is so far beyond that. Ultimately, I do believe the sale is legitimate, but it's at such a wild level above FMV where I can't help but be a tad suspicious.

So in OA, six figures is the new five figures.

I’ve been away for awhile fellas. Did something unusual happen today? 😆 

Concerned in sunny Southern California

Right?  Nobody guessed this one within 3 million.

So who sold it? I have needs. And that ain't Ned Leeds; I need a sugar mommy!

“makes me question the legitimacy of the sale.” 😢 

”Ultimately, I do believe the sale is legitimate.” 😆 

”I can’t help but be a tad suspicious.” 🤷‍♂️ 

You've got me twisted homie 😂

AKA, I believe the sale is legitimate, but I wouldn't be surprised if I heard otherwise.

Very strong results today, but let's see if these results extend into Friday and Saturday.

Lord, I hope not. I’d like to pick a page or two.

I know I'm probably the one one who cares about this, but I think the X-Men #107 cover was a record high for Cockrum art at 360K!  I would have loved to own that, but I'll have to be satisfied with my pages from that issue.

On the plus side, I picked up a cool page for less than $100 yesterday in the Heritage Weekly Auction, so not everything's unaffordable just yet.

You in NY, NJ, or DC? For a VERY fair rate, I can easily cut your tax bill.

Must be a full moon, as a Zeck/Beatty Marvel page, NON-cover original art is valued as almost as much as a Frazetta 'Egyptian Queen' oil painting. wtf?? Goldin sniping?

So who sold it? I have needs. No, not The Who Live at Leeds! But this sale does have us shakin' all over!

[Bird]

They should pay me to post. This is gold, gold I tell ya'!

[g-man]

This should unleash some other killer art soon…hoping to see the splash end page  from ASM 121 hit the auction block.

Sorry, I don’t accept maple bucks. Those loonies and twonies aren’t worth the moose they rode in on

So the question for me is does this crazy auction cause a stampede of people to sell their art causing a decline in the market due to supply or does it cause people to hold onto their art and create demand that vastly exceeds demand driving prices much higher?  Or something different, pigs fly, Hell freezes over, dogs and cats living together....just what does this mean?

It means most Spider-Man art and Zeck art just went up!

I think peeps will initially bring out some big guns seeing this insanity…next year or two will be fun.
