cstojano Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Frazetta's on fire. The Fire and Ice, if I had to speculate, the rumored live action movie may be driving some of this (although those rumors are years old now). 65k hammer on that piece is insanity to me. Sold for 8900 in 2015. Edited July 10, 2020 by cstojano vodou 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jjonahjameson11 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Buscema Conan splash = 31K Cockrum Xmen 100 page = $23K Cooke Batman/Spirit cover = 8.4K, which is interesting considering it has a $12.5K bid on Clink comic art exchange Cowan ASM 266 cover = $16K Link to post Share on other sites

Also, not to sidetrack into a political discussion but I do wonder if a team of white people will age well. Late in the run and not an ideal image IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Bill C Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Interesting thoughts on Kirby- what do people think of the 44.4K price tag on the Kirby/Sinnott self portrait? It's a great piece but does that seem high? (I don't follow his market close) Twanj 1 Link to post Share on other sites

robert frey Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 to me it is interesting that the increase in the number of auctions HA is now running really doesn't seem to have hurt them. for the material that i look at, most of it seems around where it should be and some of it on the higher side of normal. in general, no real bargains not no real headscratchers either.

Everything comes down to personal preference but I like the Fantastic Four 95 cover. I hope whoever bought it holds on to it for a long time and enjoys the piece. delekkerste 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And that Spider-man image was used HUNDREDS of times on toys and merchandising throughout the 1970's. it was awesome. FWIW..... i didn't bid on it Twanj 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Two things that I have learned over the years: (1) Don't dismiss a piece because of condition issues/damage that can potentially be fixed (the near-complete G.I. Joe #2 story would be mine today had I realized that the "aggressive mold" could have been removed/treated) and (2) Don't dismiss a piece because of a stat paste-over without checking if there might be art underneath ON the ASM 97 unpub cover.......Spider-man was all completely drawn under the stat....(just moved 1/4 inch) There is ALSO a bottle with pills falling onto the ground drawn under the drawn empty hand of Harry Osborn under the drawn art (I had zero knowledge Spider-Man was drawn...) I just had a strong feeling that art would be drawn underneath the stat as i didn't believe in 1971 they would have blank area under the stat and that marvel editors just moved the art hopefully. I'm glad I was right! I also bought the Andru ASM 185 cover from Heritage and they listed the Spider-man head as STAT....while that was true...the beautiful Andru / Esposito Spiderman drawn head was directly under the Romita Spiderman head stat. I also won in 2018 the Carmine Infantino Spider-Woman #13 Unpublished Cover They listed the Spider-Woman character on the cover as ALL STAT..... and i bought it and the original drawn Spider-Woman image is directly under the stat, (just moved over 1/4 inch) the best one i ever got from heritage was the Large Art Strange Tales #168 cover..... listed as art in layers........ and part stat..... well......... under the very bottom layer of art was........a completely drawn full size different large art cover image right under the top layers of art with a completely different Dr Strange cover scene with the space scene also drawn in slightly different poses.....
