Bronty 25,070 posts Posted August 1 (edited) On a personal level, disappointed with the way Lone Wolf 3 looks as an original (and the fact that its two boards frankensteined onto one). That's a high nostalgia one for me personally, but I can't see bidding as a result. Cap 1 already at 855k Edited August 1 by Bronty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That'; more than Heck Avengers covers have sold for in the past and way more than any previous Heck Avengers splash. 1 Bronty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you're the captain of the BWS Conan Trendspotting Club, what did you think of the #11 cover result? Seemed strong? Hasn't it been for sale for a long time with no takers?

Hasn't it been for sale for a long time with no takers? Very glad to see that this one did not sell for just $60-$65K, because it is one of the best of the earlier covers, if not the best, a sentiment shared by the consignor (David Mandel; I think people know it was his as it was on his CAF for years) I think $90K is a good price in light of the weakening sales trend in recent years. Though, it's probably only flat to slightly higher than where it would have been 5 years ago - anyone thinking that this result somehow invalidates the overwhelming evidence we've seen that the BWS Conan market peaked about 5 years ago is kidding themselves. The best pieces will still fetch $$$, but, probably not more than where they were 5 years ago when adjusted for inflation, and most examples below that level are flat to down even before adjusting for inflation. 1 Ironmandrd reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
