Kevin76 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 $26,400 for a McSpidey Panel page??? It's not even that nice of a page! https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/panel-pages/todd-mcfarlane-amazing-spider-man-320-story-page-8-original-art-marvel-1989-/a/7231-94081.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick2you2 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 For those of you who enjoy schadenfreude, like me, an Aparo Phantom Stranger cover went for $7,200 including a $1,200 Buyer’s Premium. Several years ago, Albert Moy was trying to sell it for $8,000 without success. Then, about 2 years ago, the Brothers were trying to sell it for $11,000. God laughs at plans. batman_fan, Twanj and tth2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the composition wasn’t a great success. That being said I agree with Gene that the price is perhaps a touch soft and that Kirby art has been appreciating more slowly lately. It’s been some time since I was significantly surprised to the upside by a Kirby result. It’s classic but let’s also be real if FF95 becomes 300k than the really desirable marvel and even DC kirbys ratchet up to a price level that’s just not supportable at this time.

gumbydarnit Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 For the sellers once you back out all the HA fees and pay Uncle Sam his cut of the seller’s profit. It really takes a massive bite out of these big auction numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Depending on cost base but yeah. The FF95 seller won’t have much if anything to pay in the way of tax on gains once he deducts fees Edited July 11, 2020 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Not everybody’s bag I know but anyone with a passing interest have thoughts on the game art results? I thought the banjo advertisement art and knuckles sega visions mag cover were very strong at 17 and 18, and everything else seemed to meet expectations at a minimum and generally strong for what it was.

That Knuckles jumped didn’t it? It very low throughout the auction. On July 7, it was still at $1,250. So deceiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Vess’ Spiderman and IMHO his version is among the top 3. If this was published as an ASM cover, I can see $45K, but as a Web of Spidey cover, I think the $30K is quite strong. 30% above what I expected.

I thought this was strong. Neither piece was a knockout and the Banjo art was for an advertisement. But the market for anything video game is going mental right now so what would I know.

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! Amazing! Would you care to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the price to some degree reflect the damage? I wasn't to bothered by the description of condition as I hadn't enlarged the picture until a friend mentioned it. Once I saw the scoring right the way through it would definitely factor into my bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see his lesser Web Cover in the last auction that went for $19k? There wasn't a chance this cover, with a Spider-man image leaps and bounds ahead of the last Vess Web Cover to sell in May, was going for just a few thousand more. There's only one or two Vess covers with Spider-man that I would put on par with this one. This was a VERY popular lot among the many folks I talked to before the live auction. I was hoping it wouldn't be and I would have been THRILLED if your estimate was correct because then I would own it right now. In an informal poll among some collectors my own estimate for this one was $30k exactly , and mine was the lowest estimate among the several seasoned collectors involved.

It really takes a massive bite out of these big auction numbers. Your biggest assumption here is that all sellers pay a fee. I can tell you this isn’t the case. Plus if they offset their sales with a purchase, it reduces tax liability I’d imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
