I'll pull a guess out of my butt and say it goes for under half that

Honestly, I think with the Dr. Strange #1 cover selling for $408,000 on Heritage, the G.I. JOE #21 cover has a chance of following behind that. 

$300k+ seems like a realistic number for the original cover art.

Simply an incredible piece to come to auction.  Hope a passionate collector like delekkerste or Timely is able to get it.

As a GI Joe fan who has no shot at getting this... 

I am rooting on Gene 

Go get em' @delekkerste

I will take the under as well ...6 figures under

Really? I'm taking the under if you are predicting $350K.  Mike Dringenberg Sandman House Ad selling for $96K threw me for a loop on the last auction. I thought it would go higher.  Yes, I know, it's apples and oranges, but somehow I have the same feeling about this one. So I'm going to say $99K.

I'd pay $99k for it right now.  This one's going to go nuts.

That's part of the reason I'd pay $99K.  I'd probably triple my money.

It is times like this when I am thankful the Phantom Stranger does not make an appearance.😅

I've put out feelers for just how much a "goat rodeo" would cost me. That should be a good barometer for how slathered in peanut butter and sprinkled with raisins-ish crazy this will wind up being.

How did you get a picture of my home office?

As of now... $125,000 ($150,000 with bp) with 16 bidders (39 bids + phone bidders)... Wow.

I assume serious bidders will be camping out for the live auction, no matter what.  I would never be in contention for anything like this with those bid increments.  In general, at these "heights", what is the point in placing bids now ?  Is the goal to scare off as many people as possible as soon as possible ?

Just seeing this thread now. I’m rooting for Gene. I don’t think you need to sell anything to grab this one, Park. I think you can swing it. I know it’s easy to spend someone else’s money, but as a G.I. Joe art fan this one is going to be about $350k.

Not always true. Sometimes the seller will shill it up to their "reserve" early and hope someone bites, not expecting their bid to remain high bid.
(Full disclosure: I have been that sucker before)

Sometimes I forget the world we live in.    And threads like this do not help.

Oh, so you have been in the back room of a certain bar in Brooklyn too ?

It ended up selling for $312k.

You could buy 10 Joe 21 covers for the price of one SW#8 Pg 25!

The one time I've ever been right about OA on HA. That puts me in the top 95% of posters.
