    George was my favourite artist and someone whose works brought me endless joy over the decades. He was kind and generous, but most of all he was ever so humble and loved his fans. RiP George, you gave us all so much.

    Hell I would have paid $100k for it and just traded it to you Gene for some of the stuff that i have been asking for all these years

    Well said, I agree completely.

    Well well well, didn't take too long after our back and forth this morning about the rich and their habits, for you to post this. Nuff said

    I am partial to this double page cover.

    Yes I have seen the original art to this, if I recall it was up on CAF a long time ago. I am sure i have a scan of it somewhere.

    They have a great setup here showcasing the items to those at the auction, with some of the original art presented very well amongst other props. Whilst I would love to see some cross over happening, it doesn't look like it has.

    The Flash did not sell and although the auctioneer showed that he was taking floor bids (which raised the price up to the estimate), in fact no one was bidding in the room.
  11. John S.
    They definately do things different to some other auctions I have been at, as on a lot of lots they are taking bids (supposidly) from floor bidders upto the estimate and then waiting for actual bidders to bid from thst point on. Personally I would prefer the transparency of just starting the bidding from the reserve and not making out that floor bidders are taking the price up from the actual price up to the reserve.

    I am at the auction Dan. There are about 50 people here bidding in total but so far no one is bidding on any of the OA

    I missed this bit initially... So Ironmandrd are you confirming the existence of a Cabal ??

    Looking for any high end Covers or Splashes from their work on DC or Marvel. If you have any pieces please PM me and let me know.

    A new addition to my CAF Gallery - Byrne Namor Cover http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1493811

    Mike, as Ironmandrd said, this was definately one of his hidden stash when I saw it, and it was definately not for all to see at that show. I can't comment about what he did with it at the next show he was at, but it was not on his wall at that NYCC, on any of the days.

    He wasn't publicly showing it a couple of years ago when I saw it. It was select customer only, very hush hush. I'm sure that over the last year he went through most of the likely candidates in this way, and with no takers decided to put it on display properly.

    Bechara had this at NYCC a couple of years back at a number that was around the $350k range I believe. Surprised that he is consigning this to auction.

    Don't know about Melchoir, but the guy with the Golf Sign is a definite.

    Imran, Imran Imran....I would expect nothing less from "the most connected and influential collector in Europe" (Cabal private joke)
  21. John S.
    Just sell it to me and save yourself all the trouble

    I think you will find that the Wonder Woman market has moved up a lot over the last year, especially the Perez items. Right now In auction, this would definately go higher than the numbers quoted, as I know of a number of collectors on the look out for Perez WW covers, who have been asking around.
  23. John S.
    Well obviously a miscommunication somewhere along the line as whilst i remember you using the AF #15 cover as an example, i believed that was just a singular example of an expensive piece, and genuinely thought you were just talking about art that was out there, and not unknown art pieces that have never surfaced. It was extremely loud where we were, so maybe i didnt hear correctly, or maybe i had drunk too much by that stage. As i mentioned previously, in those cases it would need to be authenticated by experts.
  24. John S.
    You and Nick, Look forward to seeing you there.
  25. John S.
    Tim the conversation (by that point you had drunk a few, so are forgiven) was discussing known pieces and being able to identify a forgery of one of those notable pieces, given the right level of connections and the small amount of players at that level. Obviously with earlier art covers not known to exist and specific later covers like the FF 48-50, would need to be left to the experts to identify any forgeries.
