What are people's thoughts on the single DK page with superman in the bottom panel selling for $132k

 

I thought that was crazy high for a single page with a small image of Superman🤷

Are you serious or are you joking? I was hoping for some bargains, but didn’t see many. I was surprised how strong prices were. What went cheap? 

All of my listings end up as bargains.  I'll let you know of my consignments for the next auction so you can pick up some good art cheap.

Of the lots I was tracking (and man there was a LOT!) the Jim Lee Deathblow 9 cover at 102k is a stunning price.

TOS 39  Iron Man Story Page 13 Original Art (Marvel, 1963).

The last page of Iron Man's first appearance and origin story! 

Image on the left currently at auction. I think it has a chance to

beat the $168,000 paid for the page to the right auctioned in April.

The 2nd panel is killer + the middle panel IM using his heater. the 

last 2 panels full frontal IM plus the walk away recap into the sunset.

 

I’m so jealous of the new owner. What a piece of history. It’s easy to spend other people’s money when we talk on here. Still I will say as much as it cost this was money well spent.

Re: Sales Price of DKR #1 Cover

Here are two outstanding images from the book. They were sold about a decade ago for circa $500K. 

. 

Has high end art gone up 5x in the last 10 years? 

Does that set the floor at $2.5M. Could be. 

 

Well reasoned Alex.

I thought the Tim Sale DPS finished strong....how about you guys? No Bats but a great image of the Clown Prince of Crime.

I love that image...thought $35k or so when I saw it but figured it might easily go higher.  Whoever got it got a great piece of OA, in my opinion.

Contrary to some previous posts, there were several bargains in this auction.  I won't present a comprehensive list, but the one that sticks out the most to me is the Larsen Spiderman 21 DPS which sold for just under $11K.  I am no fan of Larsen's work, but based on comparable sales, I think most would agree this went for a discount of approximately $30K.

Anyone else want to chime in on other bargains from this auction?

Batman #428 "A Death in the family" 22 page story for $288K

That's $13K peerage, mind blowing.

Total spray fart on the DKR cover.  Talk about anticlimactic.  Still a very impressive price and makes the SW8 page even more incomprehensible. 

If not for the SW8 sale, people would probably be losing their minds over this price.  But the $3.6m set a crazy benchmark that everyone then based their predictions for this piece on.

Agreed.  I think you just have to eliminate the SW8 sale from any discussions of value as it's clearly an outlier.

I think that show that the Secret Wars 8 page was a huge mistake by 2 buyers who didn’t know what they were bidding on.

I’m not a DC or Batman guy, but just saying, this should be more expensive than that

I think a better way to put it is that the SW8 page should've been cheaper than DKR 1.

Consistent, if declining results.  I imagine the consigner is disappointed.  Wonder why this keeps getting flipped, I hope it isn't because the owners think Micronauts collectors might lose their minds or something....  I have yet to bid on this one, but amusing to watch.

I think the main issue there is unpublished.   People will throw a certain amount of money at unpublished stuff but when it gets into a certain range, it’s gotta be published.    This piece already started at the mental max IMO.

I think there was some softness on the Peanuts strips.

Because the Great Crash is here.  Unless it's not.
