I wonder if HA will just trip the reserves themselves if need be; it's not a secret that they buy aggressively for their own account.  Trip a few reserves, do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight, reassure the market...  

hey.....

next time I sell with HA they can feel free to trip the reserve. At 52 and sinking I’d enjoy the foreplay.

Let’s play some Heritage poker!  I’ll raise you four pairs below, each with two lots with matching current bids. For each pair, which lot will have the higher final bid?  
 

Pair #1  Brunner vs. Sal Buscema

Pair #2  Sienkiewicz vs. Starlin

 

Pair #3  John Buscema vs. Kirby

 

Pair #4  Granov vs. Byrne

 

My guess is:

1. Brunner

2. Lee

3. Kirby

4. Granov

 

Thoughts?

Full disclosure to the Sal Buscema cult please know that my choice of Bruner over Sal is merely an educated guess.

it is in no way meant to besmirch Sals legendary status and place in the top five of all time comic artists.

I sincerely insist you do not send me to re-education class.

I really liked that Moon Knight cover when I first saw it years ago...but then I noticed the giant hands. Usually that kind of stuff doesn't bother me too much but for whatever reasons this is one of those I can't unsee it things and my eyes go immediately to it on this piece.

You know what they say about hand size...

No you choose properly...Sal’s name must never be spoken of positively. Besides the hard cap has been placed, the SB avengers cover has hit the max price we will allow it to go.

That's how I would guess also although I much prefer the Brunner to the Sal and prefer the Kirby to the John

I have a question for HA consigners.  Where do you expect your pages to be at this stage in the auction vs their number at the final hammer? At about 1/2 of what it will ultimately sell for? 2/3?  Is there any kind of typical “ball park guesstimate” you can make based off of where things sit 3 days out?

I'd say 40-50% usually?   But I'm guessing.

Sometimes there's no more bids and sometimes its 10x where it sits now.

Doubles up on day of auction is loose rule of thumb I look at but could obviously vary greatly up/down

I'm going:

Sal

Sink

Buscema

Adi

Yeah I noticed that as I got shut out on stuff. Was sorta hoping people would miss this auction, good for the sellers overall I guess.
