Heritage Budget Sept. 2022 Edition 0

The one piece I was watching was the Kirby Demon panel page.  Boy did it go high, more than I could justify spending.

Someone really wants these pages this year... they have been way outside of the normal price range of Kirby's other DC titles

If this piece comes up for sale again, the price might go negative.

That’s a fantastic page and right where I thought it would land. The Forever People page however at 13k was really nuts.

Oops, I thought todays auction was already completed, but it’s still going strong 

[jjonahjameson11]

Also, with so many pieces selling for $10K+ today, I think Morlock art is a huge misnomer.

Going forward, Morlock art appears to be relegated to the Wednesday OA auctions

2 for 2 on pages I really wanted and got them for my cut bid which is another plus! 1 more to go!

Yes, but they belong in the other thread.

There was one piece I bid on. That was the Amy Reeder inked cover from Madam Xanadu, No. 9, which went for a bit more than I bid (or expected), without the BP, at $1,680. I already had 3 interior pages from the series, and one is better than the cover, which isn't particularly heart-stopping. Given past prices, and adding in the generic inflation in pricing over the last few years, it went for a bit higher than I would have expected (maybe $200-300)(without BP). Not too upset; I almost didn't bid on it all.

Top two panels are classic Kirby but no core Forever People + heavily toned page + no real action to speak of =13K? Not for me... had this pegged at 8000-8500, tops

I wonder if Heritage would share how many unique bidders there are ... just the number.  This is a lot of $$$ floating around

Does the Muppet Babies #2 complete story count as a Morlock win? After all, 21 pages for $3,600 is only $171.42 per page

There seem to be a bunch of Sal pieces still below $2,500, which of course is crazy cheap for art that's been touched by a god.

I was really tempted to just get it. So, inexpensive for a complete Severin story and the content had all the Muppets cosplaying as Star Wars etc. characters. 

Gonzo as vader is worth the price of admission.

I didn't see the auction, but I think that's a good buy too.   Congrats KirbyCollector.

No no no I did not buy this... just making a funny observation about price per page

They went for more than double what I expected. I was hoping to add more Kirby pages to my collection but at these prices I’m going to have to stick with the two that I have.
