It has to be one of the better splashes from the run- with both main and both supporting characters in well rendered full body shots. I only have a couple of Murphy pieces, I love him also- I wouldn't mind getting a couple more myself before I hang the gloves up. Thanks! my favorite Murphy piece is the Hawkman 4 complete story (first Zatanna) which is just beautifully rendered. An incredible artist. grapeape, fsumavila and Bill C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Robert - well don't tell us how you responded but you do have some very fine art in your collection.... i don't remember, mark- i was still woozy from the smelling salts the paramedics gave me after seeing the price on the lobo 1 cover. thank you (and steven) for the nice words about my collection!

Quality (be it stocks or art) is always going to increase much faster than the norm. You are right about that imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another splash that isn't as good but I did acquire recently for much less. congratulations on a GREAT pickup! I was watching it to see where it landed, not because I had a chance in hell of getting it. Such a great splash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have room for one more? I whittled down to 2, and both of them are already over the value I put on them. Clearly, I forgot to carry the one. One page is a long sought after piece that I might never see again, so the evil, over-bidding FOMO (fear of missing out) dude that lives between two folds my brain is whispering stuff... How are you all approaching those types of pages? How much “stretch” is prudent over your set FMV to get a piece like that? I’m also thinking I just don’t have the computational “sea-legs” yet for this crazy market. batman_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tracking over 200 lots and most of them barely moved since yesterday. Some items will need to quadruple or even quintuple to hit FMV today and tomorrow.

As I mentioned, I’m only watching two, so my sample is much smaller. One shot up very early and seems to have at least two very motivated buyers, and the other nearly tripled this week. I wasn’t speaking to every price, just commiserating with a couple people that have the Platinum Day Blues with my small watched slice of the auction, and floating a question. You also may be a lot more experienced than myself (sounds very likely), and able to adjust to the new market better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the stuff that I plan on bidding on today better not even double or I will lose out. Tomorrow is different. No reason to bid high (IMO) on those at all until I see what, if anything, I win today. Said differently, Saturday is in general a consolation prize day. Not that there aren't good piece on Saturdays, there are, but most of the time I will get more aggressive on those pieces only if I "failed" to win anything the days before. Would love to know a few of the pieces you think are in today's auction that need to hit a 4x-5x increase to hit FMV. If you don't want to tip your hand, then mark down what it was now, and then tells us where it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Most people familiar with my particular mental illness know what stuff I am watching. The Peanuts stuff seems to have a history of being bid up to somewhere between 10% and 50% of the final hammer during the pre-live portion and then really soar during the live.

I'm approaching it like converting Celsius to Fahrenheit. I take what I think the fair value is, double it and then add $20k on top of that. jjonahjameson11, Latverian Tourism Board, John E. and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
