Valuation/Investment Question 1 1

[BarclayComics]

Hi,

I’m looking to purchase some original art. Romita Sr is what I’m most interested in. I love published pages and prelim art/pages. 
 

What do you guys think about long term value of non-published art such as prelims? Or even really nice sketches or cover recreations? For long term value is it best to stick with published art?

 

Thanks!!

Nathan

Talk to Mike Burkey Romitaman for Romita Sr. if in particular Spider-Man is your focus, but interior pages are costly now Amazing Spider-Man page on the low end just sold $45k in April Heritage Auction.

non published and prelims do offer value but it depends. The better the detail + importance of piece is what will make it “valuable.”

Same for sketches.

For investment (financial) going after Romita Sr. you may find some non Spider-Man opportunities. But everything from Spidey Super Stories to 3 panel newspaper strips can go for $10k +
 

Cover recreations as investment I’m not a big believer in. There are exceptions, like the large sized John Buscema Surfer 4 recreation cover that’s going to sell for 💰 💰 💰 in the June HA.

sketches I think over time might generate up to double (or more) your initial purchase price.... depending on quality of character(s) art and detail.

Get in slowly 💰 Those in business to make 💰 can talk you into anything. Do a lot of research and ask many questions. A lot of knowledge here on the board.

good luck
