I've never known Glen Gold to be anything less than bold, in font and in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not kidding about this! Metro told me that the consignor doesn't have anything else (which wouldn't describe either Glen)...but, maybe they just don't want me or anyone else getting too close. In any case, my guess is $110-120K. Not my page, but thank you anonymous folks for suspecting my moral compass bends to the left like that. My hunch is that the owner got it when the book broke up at a con in the mid-80s. I was looking for it for a while, and did that thing of putting post-its next to all the Ditko pages in the Omnibus that equalled it. That's how I came up with five. YMMV. I can also see the argument for it being in top ten instead, if certain character moments mean more to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, YMMV, and this page simply can't come close to numerous pages from the 'If This Be My Destiny' trilogy or ASM Annual #1, but this is merely my opinion.

Yeah, I totally get that. The #33 sequence is one of those things like the 1812 Overture or the Odessa Steps from POTEMKIN, but I was thinking in terms of single pages that stand alone. I just find it hard to frame one page alone. I think Annual 2 (where the heck did that thing go, anyway -- never seen a page to that story, and never even heard rumors about where it went) might just have the best ratio of money pages in it.

GreatEscape Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Any tips on the ComicConnect search function? Can I see the original art separate from the memorabilia? So far, the best I can do is select Event Auctions, refine search, and select VF 8.0 for both Min and Max grade ranges. This shows the OA (most of which are VF 8.0) with a few memorabilia items in that grade range. Also, if I select Event Auction and refine search, click "Art / Memorabilia" then any search (ie, artist = "Steve Ditko", title = "Spider-man") results in a generic page with only "An Event Auction is a coordinated and highly promoted auction..." . buyatari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello there, at the moment we're working toward updating our website to make the search function even more user friendly. Unfortunately, there is no way to separate art and memorabilia at this time. Though, if you would like to reach out to us directly, we would be very happy to assist with whatever you are looking for. We are in the office Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm eastern time. 1-888-779-7977. -- Brandonp@ComicConnect.com Ryanfromottawa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unca Ben Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Well, the Ditko Spidey page is at 62K with 11 days left. I'm still guessin' between 100-120K final. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, split out Original Art from OA/Memorabilia so OA has its own section. williamhlawson and buyatari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
