Nexus Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 7 hours ago, comix4fun said: Watchmen page with no Rohr for $29k too. Very surprising result. Page has changed hands a few times since it surfaced in 2009 and has never come anywhere close to this number. Also, while this is arguably the "best" solo Nite Owl page, the market values other characters higher. Would like to see what a similar quality Rorschach, Comedian, or Manhattan page would fetch at auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhamlau Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I’ll probab regret not throwing down one more bid or at least using my cut. Oh well, if I really wanted it I’d have thrown harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCarter27 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Olivia for $40K! https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/paintings/olivia-olivia-de-berardinis-wonder-woman-gal-gadot-painting-original-art-2017-/a/7169-91096.s Was this because it was Olivia or a Gal Gadot WW likeness?

The only way I see things going down is if I decide to sell something I’m in the same boat. Listed some really nice pieces for tomorrow just to stash cash for future purchases. Probably would have been smarter to keep them and am having sellers remorse since I’ll never afford them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 $46k on that Venom page. One of the best panel pages of Todd's run. (A little bit of spaghetti webbing and it'd be a near-lock) Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... Perfect storm of perfect timing of character and piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lago32 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Someone should complain to Heritage about that auctioneer yesterday....absolutely brutal. Zero knowledge of the content he is auctioning and zero passion or enthusiasm. I guarantee that he left money on the table for the consignors that day...I know I definitely feel that way. Just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lago32 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I also think separating comic art now into three distinct days of auctions is wrong...there are too many folks I have spoken to in this hobby that have either missed, almost missed, didn't know, etc. about yesterday's "premium" or "Diamond" or whatever-they-called-it event. Keep it to the usual two days, nice and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 True, although for 40 grand you might be able to get Gal Gadot to show up at your birthday party in a G string. Kidding! I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhamlau Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Was the buyer known? If not, odd speculation, but what if it was some exec buying it for her or some producer to celebrate the movie and to hang in the home? Only reason I can think why a piece would sell for 5 times FMV, someone who didnt care a lick about value or historic relevance just wanted it as a present for someone with a deep connection to the Gadot WW.

Possibly true. My guess was only that it would be someone who is new to comic art or doesn't collect at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
