Not quite the comic art thing but found this cool auction with some one of a kind vintage toy prototypes:

Neat! My local comic shop owner has the prototype for the "New Frontier" Batman and Superman action figures based on Darwyn Cooke's art directly from Darwyn Cooke himself. Darwyn lived nearby and was close friends with my shop owner, and he has/had lent/gave him things like the action figure prototypes as well as original art including the cover to the "New Frontier" trade paperback

They are also offering art. There is an n.c. Wyeth painting for $50,000 . No idea if that's a good starting price or not.
