early superman page on heritage

[shapip]

Anyone know if this page was ever published?

At least two of the scenes on the page seem to be taken from action comics covers 20 (superman ripping the vault door off) and 34 (flying in front of a dam).

If they "couldn't determine" if this piece ever saw publication, chances are it went unpublished. Obviously, a piece of this caliber would be worth significantly more if published...so I'm sure they beat the bushes in hopes of finding it.

I thought the same except the page is numbered. If it was numbered you'd think it probably saw publication at some point maybe even in something non comic related?

 

Now having said that I do realize that often times comics are created and never published for one reason or another so that could've happened here.

i don't think the fact that it's numbered means much. i've seen/owned a lot of unpublished ga art and most were numbered if they were intended for publication. still a nice piece though and at $3k (currently) not overpriced. we'll have to see where heritage places the reserve later tonight though...

Reserves are up

The reserve (including BP) on this piece is 8962.50. I expected it to be lower than that. I'm curious to hear if people here think that's too high for this page.
