Wally Wood Cover on Heritage Sells

[Timulty]

To Weird Science #21 went for 46K at Heritage. Man, is that normal?

Well, the last one sold for 57K!

[Timulty]

Then this one must have been a steal. Nice cover.

What else would you expect from a class act?

That was a true beauty by a master!! I'm always a day late and a dollar short on his artwork. It just seems to go up and up faster than I can keep pace...

A little over two years ago the above was a thread . . .

Im my mind this Wood cover is twice as good as the 16. So does that mean it's now worth 400k? Checkbook is standing by. All I need is a little reassurance first.

It's all subjective . . .

 

In my mind, the WS # 16 cover is far superior to the # 21.

I totally agree on this, I like #21but #16 has a magic touch.

Off the top-of-my-head, Jim Halperin is now down to three Woof SF covers (WS #s 17, 19 and WSF # 27) It'll be interesting to see if he releases any of those - and the effect the sale of the WS # 16 might have on them.

 

I was lucky enough to get the WS # 18 cover at a reasonable mark-up in price (over the $18,975.00 price it sold for on Heritage in May 2005).

 

Not something I'm planning to release (even if prices do escalate sharply), but will the current reported sale prompt others to sell?

If this particular buyer wants another one... I think he will find a seller.
