kbmcvay Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Would pages from the "Angelville" aka UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD story be A level? If I was going to pay top dollar for a PREACHER page I'd certainly want one from that arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_not_so_nice Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 SOK is just cool. And SOK pages are a lot more rare than Jesse, Tulip or Cass pages. Yep, SOK is a bad-arse And he's certainly not a villain like Starr. He is more of a tragic character put into his position by forces greater than him.

mister_not_so_nice Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can anyone think of a page (not a splash) that sold for more than $3,000 which did not feature the Saint on it? THIS ONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can anyone think of a page (not a splash) that sold for more than $3,000 which did not feature the Saint on it? THIS ONE Well...kind of an exception because it's an issue #1 page, and comes with a premium attached. The question is worth considering, though. I'll say that even a halfway decent SoK page will get minimally $3K these days. It's just what the market wants. There are not that many, relative to the overall number of pages, and they don't pop up for sale often. And while I do know of a few non-SoK pages that have sold for $3K and up, it's a rare event. So for the purposes of a rough price guide, consider the "$3K-$5K" range for PREACHER to be be primarily concerned with SoK...important to remember when shopping for non-SoK pages.

What about "The Duke"? Or is anything with him automatically bumped since he is talking with Jesse on the page? Just curious of your thoughts on this.

J.Sid Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I had a decent Duke page I sold last year on eBay. I think I got about $1,500 for it. I think my timing was off though. I sold 2 other (non-Preacher) pages within a couple weeks of it and each has since resold at 150% what I got for them in public auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you rarely hear him mentioned by fans, at least compared to SoK. I'm not putting myself out much by saying that a Duke page would sell for less than a comparable SoK page. I put two Duke/Jesse pages on eBay a couple of years ago. They were both very good, but not quite "A" in my book. They went for around $1K each. Which was more than what solo Jesse pages were going for at the time. So yes, fans will pay more for the Duke...but not as much as for SoK.

Nexus Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 A $499 starting bid for this page may as well be "no reserve": http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-comic-art-PREACHER-45-p-1-title-page-Ennis-Dillon-/231140488101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35d10bf3a5 A solid example, and a title page, to boot. Doesn't quite make "A" for me, but will still be interesting to see where a quality page like this ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and I don't get why if you're going to start an auction that low, why not start at $0.99 and try to pull more bidders into the fray?

J.Sid Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 With the exception of the consensus on SOK pages, this thread appears to be kind of all over the place in terms of what people are looking for, which I'd say is a testament to just how much there was to like about that series.

Agreed. It's what makes the story as a whole so universally appealing. And if you collect PREACHER art you can focus on any number of things: Jesse pages Tulip pages Cassidy pages SOK pages The WORD Deputy Cindy The humor of Starr The humor of Arseface The love story of Jesse & Tulip The Duke Fist fights Gun fights Jody & T.C. (I need a good one of these two ) And a few more niche areas i am forgetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he saw the Arseface page on eBay that went unsold for $600. I like his better but he might be motivated to sell but scared at going too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonahjameson1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I don't own any Preacher pages. Never have. Likely never will. But $3-5K? I think that's high. Maybe if you got the best of the best up for auction and two sets of deep pockets went after it. Maybe.

J.Sid Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Actually, the thread has Sandman territory (for 'A' pages) in the $10-20k range, which seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
