Same for Peanuts... two auctions in a row with prices firmly below $25K for a daily would be telling

I hope the 1958 strip goes on the cheap   I don't have anything from 1958.

Is there a piece (or pieces) in this auction that people are monitoring to determine whether we’ve entered the downturn or not?  If so what are you watching and what number(s) does it need to hit or miss?

I’m not seeing any downturn in the comic art market on the higher quality stuff a kinda middle of the road Byrne west coast avengers page just went for 4500 on eBay I think we are healthy. And the stock market has rebounded very nicely since the lows still down but not as bad as feared and crypto is back up as well

Am I imaging things, or was there a Charles Vess Spider-Man & Hobgoblin pinup in this auction preview that's no longer there? 

No you weren’t imagining it. I wasn’t aware it came down.

[rsonenthal]

And...... they're off!

[jjonahjameson11]

Yup, some big bids already!

Well, I just bid $5.00 on a Sunday section, and was immediately outbid. I guess I’m out.

What would you consider cheap in this case?

I got a 57 strip in the last auction for $22k with BP so around that would be cheap in my mind.

Well, the Miller Wolvie page should crack $25K fairly easily, possibly hit $30K so it’s no surprise that it’s at $10K already

Just imagine what the prices would be if the OA market wasn't finally crashing!

[RBerman]

I'm noticing a lot of pieces that are matted or framed. I got a matted piece once, and it wasn't difficult to un-matte. Hopefully that's the rule, not the exception.

High end pieces tend to be the last to drop as they have status. It’s the lower end, I think, that’s likely to be the canary in the coal mine. I would be more focused on things below 10k and see how long they stay on the market, or don’t attract higher bids.

But no, no crashing and burning yet, not by a long shot.

The sub $10k pieces did well last night at Heritage. Market is 💪

I'm beginning to think all OA collectors are not created equal. For me, anything close to $10k is a high-end piece!

I don’t disagree. I was just referencing some of the comments earlier in the thread.

You're right ,OA collecting has become a hobby for very wealthy folks......unless you got in twenty years ago and have alot of quality OA to trade/ sell

Yes, very strong indeed.  Definitely no slowdown in price escalation

I picked 10k because it’s noticeable, and will be remembered. For some collectors, it doesn’t amount to Peanuts.

I haven’t spend that yet on a piece because I don’t consider that hobby money. And since I don’t sell what I buy, I don’t recycle “profit”.

 I doubt I ever will. 

[jjonahjameson11]

Assuming the vast majority of us OA are 50, +\- 5 years, then at this stage of your life, coming up with $10K for a piece of OA that you really want shouldn’t be a problem
