That could happen any time. Last time i saw a plastino page was several years back on romitaman - around 5k.

alxjhnsn Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 $9K seems really high to me. I do like it though. otherworldsj331 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 A page sold on Heritage Dec 2017 from Action 293 for just under $3k and earlier in 2017 a page from Superman 95 sold for a similar price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pemart1966 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Too high...but the provision is there to make an offer. I'm a stickler as to finding out the condition of the paper itself - especially something of this vintage. Looks good in the photo but what does it look like in real life?

Al Plastino page link Is there a back scan? But seriously, the condition looks OK. I’d be a little concerned about that pasted on Action Comics header. Given the age of the page (69 years old) that probably is loose or may have been re-glued at some point. I have a couple of pages in that age range. The paper stock is otherwise pretty hardy; better than modern stock It’s thicker. No opinion on value, but it’s a really nice page Here’s what the published version looks like for reference.

I believe those are much later pieces? Does that make a difference for art by this artist? Opinions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCarter27 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Great page. Superman in almost every panel. "You poor deluded male!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions welcome. Probably not a whole lot, unless this was from a Key, and it’s not. It’s a nice golden age Supes panel page with him in all but one panel, including a classic flight pose. This is also very early Plastino Superman where he is aping Wayne Boring’s style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions welcome. Here is my general opinion on OA prices. All original art is overpriced, ever single page ever offered for sale or sold. How overpriced may vary but nothing is underpriced. What this means is each buyer has to ask themselves if they like the piece enough to justify overpaying for it. If your real question is "if I buy this piece at this price, can I sell it in a few months/years for more money" then you have your answer, pass on buying it because it is hard to know where prices will go on a piece like this. The buyer pool seems to be limited on pages such as this so prices will not move fast in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any panel replacements, dialogue cut outs and/or foxing will become very evident. I'd ask for high res scans too. Can you tell by the photo whether there are any stats (beyond the banner at the top) or pasteups? Can you tell whether the seller has artificially lightened the image to make the paper appear less brown or tan? At thousands of $ asking price you'd be foolish not to ask...
