And if that means making $50K Larsen ASM covers seem totally not surprising at all, cheap even, so be it! I mean that in the nicest way possible.

The Cimmerians Purse Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Any prognostication on the Frankenstein plate? With last years profiles auction taking the big one just past a million bucks, I was thinking this one might fly pretty high too, potentially higher than it would/should otherwise. I think 500k isnt entirely out of bounds. i.e. if i won the lottery tomorrow i'd take it that high.. but i'm completely a wrightson fan boy.

J.Sid Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Wrightson is not an artist I collect, but I'll guess closer to $100-150k range The Cimmerians Purse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hmm, I love wrightson but I'm bearish on his frankenstein stuff, I have no connection with it. I'll say somewhere in the middle at 200-240 maybe? Its endpapers so its more memorable than a standard plate I presume. otherwise I'd be with J Sid at 100-150 grapeape and The Cimmerians Purse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I wonder if this page will get any interest. I have heard there are a few oddball collectors out there that think it is kind of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
