Catch them while you can, because everything art will have at least one zero and maybe two added 10 years from today.

Doubtful, but you can’t see an unpublicized drop of 25%? 

Didn't you get the memo? Only hobbies populated by backwards-baseball cap wearing cretins can ever see any decline in prices.

JIM 108 page 3 just sold in the last auction and is now for sale again in this one. I was the underbidder on it in the last auction but I won't be bidding this time since I got my Kirby/Stone fix elsewhere. Good luck to the seller, I guess.

It didn't meet the reserve last time so it didn't sell. Guess they punted to the next auction?

Ah. I grabbed the wrong page. I see what I did.

Was there a reserve? It says it sold for $22,800 on June 16, 2022. During the live bidding there was no indication that a reserve wasn't met and that it went unsold.

This is the page that says it went unsold but I guess the deal must've fallen through.

I may be confused but the one you linked to before that sold for $22,800 is a different page from the one that didn't meet reserve.

Yep. I just realized that. My mistake.

I did the same thing! I noticed it was back up for auction then looked for the old sale & realized it didn't sell.

The coloring between the 2 scans is...different.

I guess that was bound to happen with a whole story going up. Glad I wasn't alone!

Never forget the wisdom of the Masters Ramone:

One-two-three-four, cretins want to hop some more; Four-five-six-seven, all good cretins go to heaven.

50% declines if they also wear hockey jerseys.

I guess it comes down to personal preferences and expectations. To me the two kieth sandman pieces alone are just mind blowing:

Speaking of Sandman, I'm really curious to see where this one lands. Been awhile since one of his full collage/mixed media covers hit the open market

Twelve Peanuts strips so far 

Many are later date ones but a couple of sweet ones from 1958

That’s from my favorite Ditko Spidey story. It’s an honor to look upon such a glorious creation.

That is my favorite issue of Spiderman too !

And I love the typical bit of self-deprecating humor in the creators' boxes..."Sam Rosen...Letterer of 'Patsy Walker'?!"  Every time they go hyperbolic, they puncture their own balloon with a bit of irony.

Oh, and the art is spectacular.  Who wouldn't want Spidey, JJJ, and the Goblin?
