Just got a copy of this one in the mail... 

I think if you disregard the splashes, the one from this auction is the one I'd pick. It's just the most complete page. There are 2 others with a bit better action but they come at the cost of significantly weaker character content.

I can think of other pages I'd rather have, but that doesn't change the fact that I did really want this page, but shocked at the price it went for...crazy times and tough to be a surfer only OA collector...I can't hang with most I guess

So am I to understand this page, which went for $77k, would normally hammer for maybe $40k?

I ask because it appears golden age books have all taken an overnight doubling in value. Silver age even more so, is my impression 

I am unfamiliar with the OA market, but sounds like it has been seized by the same craziness as the comic market

"Normally" implies some objective standard which would be hard to demonstrate. Perhaps "previously" though.

Yes, the original art market has seen substantial inflation this year, as have all collectibles. Time will tell whether this is due to a speculative bubble, an inevitable result of the government overprinting money, or a genuine and sustainable increase in demand for the art. Or rather, in what proportions each of these is true.

I would have thought in that 40k range as well, and a little lower possible.

Pages don’t get better than this. Action with a healthy dose of pathos

It is a great page. I bought it from the Donnellys for $1700 back in what feels like the 1930s and sold it for a massive profit of $300 soon thereafter. But don't cry for me, Argentina. I managed to keep a good one, too.
