If the panel OA with the first appearance of Venom is worth $3,360,000, what known OA should go for more, and why? Hate to be that guy, but it wasn't the first appearance of 'Venom' that sold for $3,360,000 but the first appearance of Spider-Man wearing the symbiote costume. It always irks me when people say Spidey's wearing the 'venom symbiote' or something equally incorrect. The Symbiote Spider-Man and Venom are two completely different characters.

tth2 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Logically, the following should be more valuable, although it's still hard for me to believe that they would be: 1. AF 15--virtually every page from the Spidey story, but at a minimum the opening splash, panel with 1st Spidey in costume, page where Spidey lets the burglar get away, page where he realizes the person who killed Uncle Ben is the burglar) 2. X-Men 1--opening splash 3. X-Men 1--panel with first Magneto 4. TOS 39--opening splash 5. Hulk 181--cover 6. GSX 1--cover 7.

DeadpoolJr. Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Avengers 1 cover or page where they officially form the group and comeup with the Avengers name? Avengers 4 cover or Page where Captain America is revealed to be free from the ice? None of them are the best examples of art for sure but if we're going by historical importance they're both big moments in comics Twanj and Math Teacher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine what that lot would fetch today? wormboy, John E., WolverineX and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this Secret Wars page sold for so much, probably has a lot to do with historical significance rather than artistic merit. If a page can sell for over $3 Million, I have a feeling an equally significant cover should do as well if not better, regardless of what it's composed of.

Seeing how everyone's estimate for the recent Secret Wars page got blown out of the water, I wouldn't be surprised if The Original art for the complete issue of the 1st X-Men comic went for at least $20 Million!

That's what the page sold for, but is it worth that much? In a different post on these boards, it's said that there were only two bidders once it hit $1.5M (an insane number already, IMO). If either had dropped out, it would have hammered for less than half the final tally--and most of us would have been amazed at that number. The page was worth over $1.5M to two bidders. It was worth $3.36 to one bidder. Unless there are at least two wealthy bidders interested in the OA suggested in this post, none of them will come close to these numbers. tth2, comichut, New School Fool and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
