But have Colan Subby pages been strong in the past?

Generally speaking, they have been stronger in the recent past.

I prefer the top (single panel) and bottom (6 panel) Spy vs Spy gags by Prohias, prior to Mad #126. Done most times of illustration boards in two parts.

In Mad #126 and later it was just one 6 panel gags.

Are any of the Spy vs Spy ones you have Mad #125? Are any Spy vs Spy vs Spy? Proxies only did 20 with the Grey Spy.

All 3 of my Spy pages are done on illustration board in two parts.  The top part is a large single panel title gag, and the bottom part has the multi-panel story layout.  I do have one Spy vs. Spy vs. Spy page.  When I framed these pages, I failed to note the issue numbers, so I would need to take apart the frames to get this info. What is the gag for Mad #125?

This is from Mad #98 Oct 1965. Yours is the 2nd to the last Spy vs Spy vs Spy done for Mad magazine. I double check and Proxies did 21 Spy vs Spy vs Spy. You should pick up Spy vs Spy Omnibus- - Antonio Prohias HC. It has all of his published Spy art in Mad magazine plus some earlier art.

No idea why the format was changed after Mad #125 but that was the last issue the two Spy vs Spy gags was used after that is was all done on one smaller board

Definitely more desirable than at least some Ditko covers (looking at you, ASM 30). 

The Spidey 30 cover guy wouldn't sell his cover for a million.....I already tried!

Calculated by the size of the Spider-man image, that works out to what, 350K per inch

I imagine the guy that owns it would probably say "Eh, go find another Ditko Spidey cover then..."
