The picture for the Kirby Thor 157 cover is up and it is truly stunningly beautiful :cloud9:

I think the Thor 157 cover is so much superior to the JIM 122 cover that sold a little while back for $155,350

Large art vs small art.

 

That is definitely a valid consideration

 

Me personally, I think image is more important, but I do respect that consideration

 

Is it nicer than the Thor 154 cover (small art) that sold for $71,700 in 2014 ? I would say so

I go for image first too, but the market tends to bifurcate values with a bright line between large and small. So while one image might be better I'd wager the market will have it sell for a premium amongst like era covers.

I tend to prefer quality of the image (granted its subjective) and its importance in the canon, over the size of the art, which means much less to me. So I would value the 154 (or the 157) at about 2x the 122 instead of the other way around.

 

(though the 122 might get value added points if I was an Odin man; But were I an Odin man, I would value a "small" cover with Odin over a 2x cover without him)

It's a show piece cover and from a great story arc but without color it really doesn't do the image justice:

Decent set of color pencils can resolve that. :insane:
