May Heritage Auction

[spider9698]

Posted this in marketplace but probably belongs here.

 

I know the dust hasn't settled from the February auction but the May auction already has a Calvin and Hobbes daily. No image or date up yet so it will be interesting to see the quality of the strip.

Oh, and look: A Romita (or Kane/Romita) ASM cover just popped up:

I'm a nitwit for not thinking of the Ditko ASM 33 homage before.

ASM 151 cover!!! Wow, it's a beauty!

[Doc Joe]

[Bronty]

that's lovely.

What do people think the hammer will be on it? $40k, $50k, higher?

Given what some other small art Romita and Kane Romita covers have gone for recently, I'd take the over on that.

Remember how you said FMV seemed to be your estimate x 2 in the past HA auction? I think that your rule of thumb holds here

thanks for reminding me. Looks like I am out !

[Tokay]

Yeah, I'd be shocked if it was closer to 50k than 100k.

[Doc Joe]

65K?

[Bronty]

I might have agreed with that before seeing the scan but IMHO it presents especially nicely and IMO there will be a considerable premium for how good it looks

[comix4fun]

65K?

 

 

I'll see your 65k and raise you TWO Micronauts covers.

[Bronty]

oh that's right, 65k was the ask for anything these days; the magic number

[TMNT]

What a stunner!

Could this be a placeholder scan? The top left and bottom right (of the 2nd pic- with the paper area outside the art image) make it look like it's from a printed copy. My eyes are going bad though.

This auction just keeps getting better

Two New Voyages covers!!! Wow, someone is not up to date on market value...this would be a very Nostalgic Investment for someone....

I think ASM 151 is one of those covers where the original art looks superior to the printed version. Just like Miller's Daredevil #188.

Nice one.
