Do you think the pages all come from a single source?

I have no idea. Total speculation on my part. But somebody was sitting on Power Records and GL 85 piles.

I think it is pretty obvious they do.

I myself have been chasing after one of the Batman power records pages that have been hitting the block, but have come up empty as the underbidder or second underbidder most time.

There are some Antman inside the Vision pages from Avengers 93 I'd like to get my hands on.

Yup--Avengers #93 has some real gems throughout.

Yeah, ASM #252 is a top 10 nostalgia piece for me.  Would have loved to have had a shot at it back when it last traded hands.  

I love this cover, too, and I'm not even a huge superhero nostalgia guy. When I inquired about it with the previous owner, it was very firmly not for sale. I left the guy alone after that. Of course, it ends up in another gallery.

There's a common presumption that the top of the BSD food chain will pay the most, and that's probably a safe bet more often than not. But there are exceptions. At the time, this would have been one.

Baldy here has been absolutely excellent for consignors. Bidders, not so much. He is dragging out each lot to squeeze out every last possible bid. Or cut bid. Love the strategically-timed sips of water.

Congrats to consignors who lucked out with him...condolences to bidders!

My goodness, someone loves them some Buckler JLA....healthy $35,850.

Compared to some of Heritage's previous auctioneers, he doesn't seem so bad. At least he knows how to pronounce the artist's name!

That said, I pity anyone looking to bid live on a Zeck piece. You're gonna have to set your alarm clock to catch it!

Yeah although it’s still early, that is winning the bonkers price of the auction so far to me.

These things usually last till around 4 am my time... it's brutal, especially during the time I was hunting after Wood and Williamson pieces.

I am calling him Mr. Wonderful.

buscema conan cover seemed reasonably well bought to me at 10k

Ugh, gonna be here for a while. I get off work in two hours, then have dinner with the wife and folks...wonder if it'll be closer to what I'm looking at by around 7pm est?

Depends. His rate is one letter of the alphabet per hour.

Mr Wonderful seems to be going about an average of a minute a piece so just time it out right from there for what your hunting.  He isn't going to suddenly speed up.

Would have caught on quicker if you had used an animated gif.

I won't get my gif allowance refilled until March 1.
