I don't have any New Warriors art, but i thought it was cool as a kid, so i keep an eye on those pages from time to time.  FWIW, I thought $1500 was going to be about the hammer on the page.  It's a really well done page, every main character, a title splash, heroic poses.  If someone was looking for their singular example, I'd say that was a great get.

I actively collect New Warriors art (didn't bid on this one though) and I mostly agree.  $1500 feels high to me, but I think it's a more desirable page than the double page spread that went for $1200 last week (it may be a dps, but it's from an alternate reality story and mostly features non-series characters), so I guess the market is what it is.  Speedball is missing, so it's not perfect, but as a single page example, I don't think you could find many that are better.

It's a title page with the team (sans Speedball) and they way the New Warriors market is going, the $1500 price doesn't surprise me. I tried bidding on it (because it's my jam). Kudos to the guy who purchased it off of HA several years ago for a few hundred dollars.

I wonder if HA asked Joe Sinnott (or Joe's son to ask Joe)?  Is Joe too ill (hopefully not) or doesn't recall?  I had a question for Joe about a year and a half ago and his son got back to me relatively quickly after checking with Joe.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the number of trackers is higher than usual......unfortunately you can't see tracking comps from past auctions.

I think its true for some artists.  For example, the Miller pieces seem to have lots of views and trackers.  Case in point, the ASM Annual #14 already has 950 views and 182 trackers.

Conversely, the Wrightson pieces seem to have less views and trackers than I would have expected given where we are in the auction.  Case in point, the Wrightson HOM #225 splash has only 353 views and 169 trackers.

I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say that the guy who replaced Barry as the auctioneer when the art section started wasn't the biggest comic art fan.
