coolhandluke-migration Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 200k seems right. Spider-man is iconic and Ditko is one of the premiere spidey artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke-migration Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Any info on whether the X-Men 55 & Avengers covers sold for $175K? Has that been confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider9698 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Just got off the phone with Burkey. Both covers are sold. No details given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irchooker Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 200k seems right. Spider-man is iconic and Ditko is one of the premiere spidey artists. A piece this iconic, especially if it's from issue 3, should be much, much higher. If the cover is worth $1 million, this piece is an easy 500k. ... is what you would usually say. Don't hold back on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Anyone know if that was $200k cash or 1/2 cash/trade deal? All trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hold back on us. You think the cover is $1 million? Ok, $500k for the splash. But $200k is than a steal. As regards the Avengers - X-men deal. If that was for $175K thats strong too.

dem1138 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 This hasn't sold -- they were talking about the covers being discussed selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem1138 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 ...and it's an incredible pin-up and sure, I'd love to own it - but seriously, no one in their right mind would pay $200,000 cash for this pin-up. Oh wait, we haven't heard detail on what those covers sold for yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cover is worth $8 million, easy. Geez, Spider-Man 2 was so good, that alone should get Sam Raimi to hunt down that cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NelsonAI Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Given how mcsilly and uncanny some art have sold for recently, it's no surprise that cover prices have reached these levels. For any of the premium pieces, the sellers could certainly hold out for all cash. At these price levels, it narrows the field down quickly. Cheers!

jla22-migration Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Folks Methinks the 8th photograph contains the Spidey pin-up http://www.comicfanboy.net/node/53 If you home in on it & expand the image, it seems to say . . . due to the credit crisis, increasing unemployment, etc this has been reduced from 241k to 250k euro.

Tatterdamillion Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I bought two Eric Powell pieces, a Goon page and a Marvel Western cover. I am very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NelsonAI Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I don't recognize him. He's got some nice art -- aside from the Ditko, Dave Stevens Alien World, Marvel Super Heroes # 12 cover (1st Captain Marvel), Mystery in Space, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westform Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 40k apiece on the Stevens and the 1st Cap marvel.... i like, but a TAD steep for me.... (I'll have to be content with Cap. Marvel 4) I did just buy a twice up beauty in S.D.... even though I'm at home cleaning out my garage... ....and I sold 3 pieces to guys in S.D.... I guess my prices are looking pretty good right about now....! Check out my CAf, still have a few sweet pieces for sale !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleekerBob Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Heard of a Neal Adams X-Men-related cover selling for $120K...any details out there? I heard $175K for the Adams Avengers #93 cover & Windsor-Smith X-Men 55 cover. Would love to see those images! That was the final hammer price, Burkey was the middle man. That's 175k for both not each of course. I reiterate my previous post. 175k was the hammer price done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NelsonAI Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks for the updates guys. I regret not being able to attend just to see some of the art in person. Bob - I am assuming the $175K per cover was all cash? Cheers! N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
