This McSpidey is currently at $49.2k w/BP...I guesstimate that it will have breezed past $65k(all in), before the floor bidding begins...let's all recalibrate.

[...wonder if 'they' will throw another Nason/McSpidey page out in one of the Sunday auctions before the next Signature auction?]

...$69k w/BP. Live auction tomorrow...

I'M GONNA CLEAN UP! I'm fixin' to fill a lot of holes in my collection, I just need the prices to hold steady for 2 days.

Hey a man can dream can't he?

That's been me with this one, too.  There's a small handful of things that I'd love to own any one of, that are all at lower-than-expected numbers this close to the live.  I'm feeling a bit like Charlie Brown getting ready to take another kick at the football.  I know how it's all gonna end, but hope springs eternal...

Kinda like holding a powerball ticket, you can dream before the numbers are drawn.

All those lots that I bid on that were flying under the radar have been detected by enemy intelligence. 😒

John the fact that you know this is important because ...

Knowing is half the battle ... I guess bidding is the other half ; )

I may be jumping the gun a bit, with only three original art listings thus far, but my oh my, what an exciting pair

 

SOLD

X Men $300,000 with BP

ASM 328 $120,000 with BP

[DeadpoolJr.]

I was not expecting that deadpool cover to sell for $25k and the double page splash title page for $14k. I was blown out of the water on that one. Those along with the other pages in this auction and the ones from last time make me think this is a deadpool collector with a nice collection cashing out.

[grapeape]

ASM 10 Ditko SOLD $96,000 with BP

Frazetta painting did not get the Million dollar reserve

The Kirby FF 55 did not meet the reserve

Alot to digest

I was texting with my buddy Scott Dunbier just a minute or two before the Xmen 268 cover went up and called the final bid exactly and to the penny. Am I tooting my own horn? Absolutely!

For the uninitiated, what are we looking at here (besides a painting that looks straight out of Jr High art class of course)?

Im assuming some form of Magic card or something, but no copy up at that Heritage link. From an early set I presume, since so much of the art in later sets is so much more accomplished. Dumb old guys wanna know.

OA for one of the key cards from the first set.  That’s all you need to know.  
 

And if anyone is looking for evidence that MTG original art collecting has come into its own, this auction provided it.  I don't know what preliminary estimates were, but one of the pieces finished at $168K all in, with another finishing at $114K.  For pieces that appear to have sold solely on nostalgia (no offence to the original artists, I'm sure their mothers were proud of them) that strikes me as incredibly strong pricing.
