I used to have 3 walmarts that stocked these...I never see them anymore. I don't see the displays and I don't see the comics, not in the checkout aisle with pokemon, not in the books/magazines and not in the collectibles section.

what he said seriously, do not try to "make it better" to look at by using a fancy matte or combining with the page. match white matte to background of the piece and black frame. I use a slightly larger bottom margin to pull the eye down (it works). Let the art shine on its own and let the eye wander around the art as designed by the artist...do not compete with the image

they grade the books, then you price them. You don't have to price them now.

well...did the auction meet expectations? How did you do?

93 books as stated in the title

I put in a few bids for you! I hope I get outbid almost as much as I hope I do not.

there are many of us in central NJ! I let OP know I am now an auction house and sell on Live Auctioneers now, so anyone who wants to watch their books sell at auction is welcome to contact me! I'm running out of books after 4 auctions this year! ;-)

did you cut off the end of this list? Wonder Woman Bolland!!!

I had my pre-auction max bids written down for about 15 items; I ended up underbidder on 3, all well over the #s I had written down to guide myself! I went on a grocery run in the middle and thought about those Quesada pages with Dr Strange...I was still way under with max of 6K on both lots (2 pages in each lot) Dropped out of the Starman cover at 7500 or so. I used to own 4 and wanted them all at that time; only own 1 now. Regarding the venue; it is all about the terms. But I thought they had eyes on the art and prices weren't horrible.

Im stunned that Quick Stops pages are selling for a few hundred, snootch to the bootch I guess

DD page 67.5K + vig Frank Miller Daredevil Original Comic Art Issue #161 Page 22

I should have offered $10K for the mage painting when it was only wall, too rich for my blood now at $17K + 18%

well? thoughts on prices? anyone watching on any of the 5 different sites? $9K for a Preacher page but I don't know if that is strong (seems so, but?) hoped to get a piece or so, nothing so far. underbidder on two pieces but....

I know the superman cover, I like it and made that clear just before it got a price. I was offered a trade but the $20K valuation seemed aspirational to me (and I have no interest in letting go what they wanted), as does this $40K ask although the piece checks many boxes for me (I have never spent more than very low 5 figures for art though).

1 week until auction ends and 50% of lots are still at $10! Tons of great deals on the items that have bids too!

geez, how do y'all really feel? I've been a bodnars customer for years, shame they are all online now as pre-pandemic it was in person only and I bought often then I was in Jay & Silent Bob secret stash a few months ago when Off White and Mike McKone were there, talking with them and the manager when he mentioned the art sale coming up; they use bodnars to sell comics time to time so have a pre-existing relationship. I had seen one or two pieces in the auction on the wall and had inquired about prices and was told they were mostly for show but Kevin would listen to offers. I would think most pieces will get close to what they would elsewhere (maybe not the Miller, Quesada and perhaps 1-3 others), earlier art on that site rarely got a mention here and everyone is quickly talking about these (only went online last week, I had been checking knowing it was to be in September). Kevin Smith sells memorabilia at his movie theater weekly to raise funds for the theatre. rare funkos, hockey jersey, prints, OA even occasionally so I know he has no problem selling. I'll hope to have one or two at the end, will certainly be previewing to check them out. Let me know if anyone wants a photo or anything. oh, Joe Bodnar seems a nice enough guy but yeah, he's got the look. he has a comic guy on staff who knows his stuff (although I think that guy had a heart attack and may still be recuperating).

item says page is from Miller layouts by Janson in description, so seems accurate right?
