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.

We must have been watching different auctions.  I thought there were deals, and very few 'WOW' results.

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?

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

The page I was watching started the final day at 469 and ended at 951

 The Super v Spidey Treasury splash is now at almost $50k....crazy. I wonder if the high bidder(s) have taken the time to save the HA image and properly adjust the contrast ratio to see that 90% of the Superman figure is covered in whiteout...

I've been watching this too... what a page!  I'm SOOOO thrilled I got my run of the mill DPS from this book last year, although it obviously is laughable in comparison to this legendary splash.  But I just wanted something from this incredible book.

I do hope whomever is lucky enough to win this knows enough to realize that these treasury pages are tiny.  Not that it matters but I remember the first time I learned that... for years I'd always assumed they were bigger than normal pages, certainly never dawned on me they'd be smaller!

As for the Superman figure being covered in whiteout? That's part of the legend of the book... Andru's original Superman art being reworked by Adams in spots, etc.  It's all good!

Must be

[vodou]

Is it sacrilege to think everything here BUT Widow is sexier than feeling bloated and gassy Widow here?

$1550...that's a lot to pay for a nice lamp, plant and used couch.

Look at the size of that Sienkiewicz painting in the background! Makes me want it even more than I already did.

[glendgold]

Whoah. The ASM 32 pages passed.

Sold $60 K

It wasn’t that long ago that the cover was listed at $65 K with Albert Moy. So how much is that worth now?

I was interested, but the reserve was too high...

Yeah, it was, uh, aspirational.

The more you bid, the more it's worth!

Seemed like a slow auction no?

You're gonna make aspirational™ a "thing" before this is all over. I know you will.

That would make me sad. At least I have a chance at a Peanuts.
