Congrats to the 87K newly hired IRS agents on Jon Bogdanove's spectacular auction!

Given what most of those pieces went for, I suspect Jon would be the rare person giggling when paying his tax bill this year.

Did you get in?

Yes, right after the Broderick Captain Marvel cover sold, it let me back in.

This one makes me very happy.  I have a real nice splash with a real large Ghost Rider image that I have been debating letting go but really no recent price info to know where they were at these days.

A really nice result on that cover. It’s a beauty, that’s for sure. Makes me wonder what a Saltares/Tex page from the first issue would sell for nowadays.

I am about as big of an X-men fan around… but anyway I look At this my brain can not fathom the results…

Higher than I thought it would go, but not necessarily surprised. Popular crossover event, early Cable appearance, wolverine and Jean drama, and basically direct from the artist.

They haven't sold yet.  I assume he's talking about the bidding thus far.  They're in Sunday's session.

Yes that's correct....they will bring even sillier final prices

I'm just glad the artist is getting the money. 

Really strong prices. 

QFT!

Maybe this will incentivise more artists to sell their OA 🙂

Miller Wolverine page went for $102K…I don’t think anyone saw that one coming!

That is ridiculous!🤯

The cover for wolverine 3 LS sold on CL around 2017 I think for around $35 K......but my memory could be way off here

Congrats to the winner of the Elektra Sienkiewicz page.  An amazing deal. 

I'm  absolutely baffled about this. 

Jae Lee Something Is Killing the Children #1 Cover. $22,800.00 w/BP.

Across the board I think we can conclusively concur, the crash / correction has officially occured this auction 

😂

$90k with juice. Looks like that's a record for a public McKean Sandman cover, nearly double the last one I could find.

No idea if any have traded privately for more.

I was curious about the "technically" published Kieth Sandman #4 Double-Page Spread.  $63K  is not a bad result.

There wasn’t anything in the “scraps” budget range ($10k and under) for us scrappers! Almost snagged the Zeck Punisher cover for $10k but was underbidder.

On to the next session!

I was shocked at that, too. It sold super high. After the luster is off that series (and I think that's happening now, especially since the TV show hasn't materialized), whoever paid that better LOVE that piece of art.

Really strong price - but it's a great Ghost Rider cover. I'm quite happy because I have a decent cover and a DPS from this title.

Also, how about this Ross Andru Amazing Spider-Man 185 panel page hammering at $22.8k??

great page but ...WOW!

I'm going to keep beating this horse but this auctioneer is terrible... she keeps extending the bid with BS when she should be giving fair warning and running the clock out

You do realize her job is to get the highest price possible, right?

Frazetta’s “Barbarian on a cold day” went lower than I thought

It went for more than I thought!  One of his worst pieces ever.

Had there been a Peppermint Patty piece, I suspect we would have seen a new record.

Neal Adams splash to Brave and the Bold 84 sold for $28,800 at Heritage in January and $22,800 today.

Really surprised by this as this sale is coming after Neal's passing.

Prices for Adams art in the last Signature auction, soon after the news broke, were very strong.

I figured just the Frazetta name and the fact is had paint on it would make it go higher.  When I first saw it listed I thought it was the iconic painting and then I saw it.
