**FOUND** WTB - Steve Ditko original art page 0

[spidey300]

Thanks for the leads, guys! I was aware of those already, but I'm thankful for all the help. It looks like I have located my desired Ditko page and have already paid for it. Once I receive it in the mail I'll post a pic and close the thread. Thanks!

It only took 8 weeks and 1 day to arrive from Sweden, but it's here at last. I can finally close this thread.

Congratulations ! Very nice page !

Can you tell how much you paid for it ?

And do you know in which book it was published ?

congrats! Wow, 8 weeks+ for delivery from Sweden  I have been waiting about 6 weeks now for a package from Spain. Looks like 5-8 weeks is the average overseas delivery time for USPS due to the pandemic.

Thanks everybody!

I paid just over $2,600 for it including shipping. I don't mind stating the price because I'm not planning on selling it. There were several affordable penciled and inked pages out there, but none that had "it" for me. When I saw those magic Ditko hands 😍 Going to be as close as I get to a Dr. Strange page.

Took a deep dive on Comic Art Fans site to find it. Was listed as NFS but the owner had a note in his byline to contact him if interested.

Neither the seller or Heritage Auctions (where he had purchased it several years ago) knew which Charlton comic it was published in. But a Google search on the character's name yielded the answer: a 6 page story titled Class Reunion in Ghostly Haunts #48.

He sent it via PostNord. USPS took over once it reached the U.S. We believe the package ended up on a boat to cross the Atlantic due to reduced flights.

Chin up and have no fear! I believe we’re picking up tracking signals on your sweet Ditko Page! All is well !!
