168K for the Spidey and his Amazing Friends cover, Nice

hard to fathom that cover could cost so much.

 yeah- asking is free. they want to make money too and seem happy to negotiate with you if they think you have material that will do well.

What can HA waive, other than the seller’s fee?

they can give you a cut of the BP as well

Time to add another zero to the ask price on OA

Completely shocked at the Secret Wars price.  Looked like the seller made the right decision going with an open auction.  For decent material, are we at a place where you really should only sell in an open auction versus a private sell?

i would have to agree with that. everything i watched went for SIGNIFICANTLY more than i expected.

all i can say is wow!

the barry smith stylized signature he used to put on his covers

In some cases, yes

there was a high reserve for the bw avengers and the steranko cap dps last auction and both met and exceeded the reserve.

x-men 100 (pages 2 and 3), x-men 101 (pages 2 and 3), x-mem 107 (pages 2 and 3)

this one has

how about george perez?

maybe the very positive reviews for the upcoming monster book have revived interest in bws art?

It is always a conflict on when things sell high as it is nice that this stuff is worth something but darling wife is always - Sell It!

So Robert - well don't tell us how you responded but you do have some very fine art in your collection....

i don't remember, mark- i was still woozy from the smelling salts the paramedics  gave me after seeing the price on the lobo 1 cover. thank you (and steven) for the nice words about my collection!   

my wife actually sat with me and watched this live................ i almost had to give her cpr when she saw the prices. she could not believe what she was seeing and kept asking if i had anything like that, . the really interesting pieces sure did well.

We have N. Adams Avengers in the 10-20K range, are you saying that you think it should be higher?  Usually the Avengers pages have been less than his X-Men or Batman pages, but perhaps that is changing.  Let's hear some opinions or documented sales.  PS, I did like the one on Heritage and personally felt it was an A page.  But, again, some of this is subjective for sure!

well, the one today sold for 24k.... and the antman page (i am the owner of that one)  was also over 20k. as i said, there have been and are neal adams avengers pages on dealer websites that seem to cost around 12-15k- good pages for sure but not A-level pages and that is what we are talking about here. i'll defer to the adams experts but it there seems to be an uptick in the prices of his art.

My comments would be that any semi-decent Neal Adams Avengers page easily breaks 10k right now, let alone a great one. The one sold today was pretty good but I personally would not call that an A-level page. I think the A-level price range would be higher........... and same for Perez as well- no disrespect to the seller of page on HA right now but that page is almost at the bottom of the A-level price range and that is not an A-caliber page in my opinion.

Marvel Two in One 57 page 14  George Perez pencils, Gene Day inks:

perez- teen titans and wonder woman

can someone please elighten me how that buscema avengers splash sold for 30k in december and is now a 90k page? 

I really liked Sam's inks on X-Men as well.........  but for me, I best remember him as an early in ker over George Perez in the Avengers. Here are some examples.  First one is from Avengers 143. Next one is from Avengers 149. Next two are from Avenger 148 and the last one is from Avengers Annual 6. On that one, his name is on the credits on the original art  itself but not on what was printed- it may be uncredited

And then... something even cooler happened::: that same wonderful person offered me a Buscema Avengers Cover!! The cover to 298...

funny story on this I absolutely love the cover but I showed it to a friend before I bought it and he said it was ugly... now don’t get me wrong , I would love Thor swinging his hammer (who wouldn’t?) but for having no heroes I think it is great.. large character images including a giant robot.. a damsel in distress in the foreground building great perspective and a well laid  out detailed city background.. oh and it happens to be an inferno tie in! Being a major X-men fan that is just a cherry on top! Thanks again @AvengersFan! 
 

 

congratulations!   i totally agree- avengersfan is a real good guy

captain america, the thing and the batman?? from jla/avengers 2 page  22

wasn't this just sold late last year? easy come, easy go, i guess
