He printed out results for all the eBay auctions he followed from 1998-2002 and filed them away. He's got several other boxes just like this. I'll see if he'll share more here. Would love to hear if he kept records of Michael Golden, Pat Broderick, or Butch Guice. I might even pay a fee for copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might note that Gene, as required by some internal law I would never question, gave Doom one leg. And the raven over Doom's shoulder? One leg. Doom does not require two legs, bipedalism is a crutch for beings lesser than Doom! Edited January 12, 2020 by NewCollector101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then and now. In 1999 I got a Cockrum X-Men dps for that same $450 a cash knocked down price of $400 ESeffinga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I bought a couple of double page spreads by Garney for that price at that time. Think about the prices that Jim Lee demands today. I am not comparing the artists, just that contemporary art by popular comic book artists will be priced higher. I do not think their prices goes down with age as much as not following the same price climb that other art generally follow.

I remember you used to have one from # 37. Bittersweet I’m sure but you’ll just have to try and suck it up with your ASM splash page. i owned the entire asm 37 book in 1993..i sold that page for 500-600 i think, in 1993, with 18 other pages to ASM 37 in a CBG ad in 1993...LOL grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember the story back around when it happened, the art was stacked on pallets and you bought it by the stack. Just piles of stuff you bought as lots.
