Every piece he lists is a flip. JJ is not a collector. If he collects - he keeps it private.  He buys to resell from what I can see.

Hmmm. This is Borock's MO, buy high sell higher, (and as we'd all agree, nothing particularly wrong with that) but I think $1500 was already top of the mountain for Bright Firestorm ;)

He may be stuck with this for a while. Which is too bad; there are some Firestorm folks out there (me) that would have been happy to get this for $700-$900 that it's actually worth lol

ive heard he is also a person who will verbally agree to a price on  art items for sale then vanish for a week while he is trying to shop them. If he works out a deal he will pay, if he fails he will break his word and back out of the deal. That is not a flipper, that is a scumbag.

Really? An 80's Big Two superhero cover (even of Firestorm) is not a sub $1000 page. And this one is pretty nice, from a pure aesthetics point of view.

Wrong artist. "Big rocks falling" is the villain? No. This is sub-$1000 all day long. However, I do think Borock will find his "one right buyer" at that price eventually. May take a few years though. And it won't be me :)

Sold on Heritage for $2629 in November.

On sale on for $5000 archangels (rob hughes?)

see art aficionado report on this piece here.

perhaps it was always worth 5k, and only they saw it?

I used to own that piece.

Had to sell it.

Spidey's assparts were just too intimidating.

There are tons of 80's Big 2 Super hero cover that won't go anywhere near $1K.  I should buy them all and sell to you at $1k! :flipbait:

Weird.  Do you think the sellers use of "cgc gga sleaze" in the title of the auction how he feel about his auction being featured in this thread?

Well, thoughts on this..... 

1) What the hell does CGC have to do with a random  mid-low-end bronze horror page? 

2) I think the seller might be a little misguided in his market analysis when he states 

"When you say Steve Ditko Bronze Age horror page, you say $ cha-ching $"

then you should have bought it from my site for 200 or 300 bucks.  :-)

  but this was before the "Stats" were added.  it was pure art when i sold it a couple years back.

That’s interesting. I wonder if the added stats contributed to such a high hammer price. It does take two to tango.

@Jay Olie Espy of course it made a difference.   when steve b. bought it from heritage.  im sure he thought they were original stats as there was nothing stating that they were replacements or not "original stats"
