Amazing pieces!

 

Thanks (thumbs u

 

They're a way to own something original from your favorite comics without breaking the bank.

 

They're so cool to own, I'd rather keep them myself than sell them too cheap.

I agree, but the better pieces are not in my price range. How did you come about inquiring these pages?

 

They were purchased directly from the color artists themselves over the course of the last 30 years by a UK collector who paid strong prices for them.

 

Many are signed, some come with letters of provenance and any original materials relating to the guides (like the envelopes used at Marvel / DC) have been retained and are offered with the guides.

 

I've been lucky enough to purchase some of this collection so have been offering them for sale to the boards and via Ebay.

I've often mentioned the profit that can be made by those who split my color guides up and re-sell them by the page, but here's a great example.

 

These two guides were offered to the boards at $850 for 44 pages = $19 per page.

 

HERE'S WHAT THEY RE-SOLD FOR BY THE PAGE.......! :o

 

The buyer re-couped over $2,000 for just half the pages.

Some people love color guides, some people hate them.

 

Personally, I think they are awesome !

 

They are a unique, hand-painted part of the production process and set the look and mood of the comic. They also look amazing framed. :cloud9:

 

The Ebay sales aren't crazy at all. There are many buyers at $75 - $150 for single color guide pages.

 

I just have too many guides to sell them by the page. :(
