Tracking bids in.

Nice to see so many Kirby pieces up at auction again.

I didn't even know it was on, I was just killing time and searching for stuff on comicarttracker (where I always forget my password) and was linked to an piece on HA.

Should be interesting, for the first time in awhile, there are a lot of pieces that aligns with my collecting interest and budget.  We shall see, I have been generally slowing down though

The bidding habits of OA collectors are so different from the comic guys!

[Bird]

okay, current high bidder on Frank Miller, Moebius, and BWS pages. No one else bid please. 

[batman_fan]

Really hope I snag one of the Peanuts dailies. 

[Bronty]

I hope you do too  between the kirby prehero splashes and the peanuts, you have good taste sir.

Would anyone care to give me their critique of this page? It's in the weekly auction and I have a better Neil Adams, already. The top two panels are okay, but the rest don't do much for me. The Phantom Stranger/Adams pages so rarely pop up, however, that I don't want to regret a decision later. I'm figuring it for a low $3K figure.

"Really hope I snag ____________" - said no one ever who then actually managed to snag what they publicly announced they were going for.

I kind of thought of this too.

while some items that come up -are rare examples with little or no recent comps to use - the peanuts pieces have come up a lot lately. my suggestion is - if you really want to snag one - look at recent sales , add 25%-50% and ask yourself if you still want it at that price. that way you have a comfortable limit/margin. still no guarantees. hopefully you will get it below your max, but the point I am trying to make is to have a max # that has a chance of winning.

hoping to snag a piece at last auction's prices, or less is a good way to not get what you want.  then another auction comes up and prices could be even higher.

Let’s see if I can buck that trend!  The good thing is given there are several examples in this one you need to guess which one I am interested in to do any punishing on.

I have certain artists that I hoard, but even within that group I have to be selective. So I would pass if you have a better example already. Something will come up down the road.

I’ve only recently gotten into both OA and comics.

just out of curiousity, in what way are they different.

In OA, you don't snipe or bid live at the last minute. Instead, you bid insanely right at the start of the auction and then go back to your main job of melting the polar ice caps in order to uncover more oil.

Then, when you win your page, you put it in a portfolio and never look at it again.

This seems like a very good course of action. Seems obvious now that you say it,  it hadn’t occurred to me before. Thanks.
