Barely any action on the Captain America 154 cover or Subby 27 cover. I thought he was supposed to be a Mt. Rushmore artist. I think the consensus is he is more the Christ the Redeemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick2you2 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 2 hours ago, batman_fan said: Sal Buscema fans are very shrewd in their approach to bidding on Sal Buscema artwork. They carefully map out the auction, watching bidder interest daily, waiting for the right moment to pounce.... ...on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much hype? It's way to early but the BM 251 cover at $312,000 so those in pursuit are showing their hand early. Will the frenzied bidding come late on Cap 103?

NelsonAI Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Once the Neal Adams Batman 251 cover was announced, it basically, sucked the life out of all other consignments including the Kirby Captain America 103. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is he still seemingly not sure it's the real deal? I heard from very reliable sources that interested parties including the auction house were approached. The auction went ahead as planned. I don't know what was worked out dollar wise. Let all of the Godfather references begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every dime spent over that amount will result in a punitive corrective action. grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wait until the Cabal gets into a members only roundtable discussion (he said he heard we have on good authority)over the right time to unload before the impending OA market collapse. Then we strike the keyboards with vigor. We bid into the six figures. Then we sink beneath the floor until the next auction. When the time favors our return you will quake as you hear our fearsome battle cry, " Silvio Sal Buscema!"

These are dark times indeed brother, the ministry of approved thought hounds us at every corner...we hide our numbers among them and cheer on their five figure starlin and 4 figure Perez pages...biding our time until we can overthrow the orthodoxy and once again walk in the light!
