I am now thinking I should have made the winner pay more. I was in on the Little Sambo art (and should have tried harder, in hindsight) and some of the Earling Sleeping Beauty pieces before they went to the stratosphere. Tell you what, all of the Song of the South stuff blew up... wow... something about Disney never wanting to show that film again unlocked a lot of bidder wallets.

Fischb1 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I think Friday's Byrne sold well too. 45k for a panel page with Kitty running away from an alien/brood? That's not squishy, add Wolverine with claws or Phoenix and you're back up to 70k. This all seems like peak pricing to me.

Drummy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Hey Rob! I thought the Byrne Champions page ($15,600 for a strong panel page) was nuts...I'd love to buy me more Byrne Champions pages, but I can't compete at that level. Lots of Byrne fans out there, and for good reasons. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyCollector Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Wotta weekend... beat out on 12 lots in 2 different auctions... and in the one auction going for me, Heritage Live somehow rebooted itself and by the time I signed in again the lot had moved higher and closed... pouring the liquor early today...

Fischb1 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Today's prices have been very strong. Overall, I'd say Thursday was strong. Friday was a mixed bag. Some strong, some weak, some middling. And today strong. Is the market still moving upwards? No. Is the market collapsing? No. (I'm sorry to the guy who overpaid for 2 pages in his heat and then lost a ton on the flip one year later. But that does not a market make.) I'm optimistic! Sideshow Bob, jjonahjameson11, KirbyCollector and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsumavila Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Lost out on a couple of lots today - including the Power Pack page with Spidey and the Spidey Super Stories page, which went for way more than I expected. did land that Paul Neary Spidey/Goblin Marvel UK cover, so happy about that. didn't see many bargains to be had today - at least not in the areas that interest me. Still kicking myself for not bidding stronger on the Jon B Power Pack cover from Day 1. An 80s-era Marvel cover with black costume Spidey and Hobgoblin for less than $10k is a damn good deal.
