I thought I must have missed a claws-out Wolverine hanging out in the background or something. It is a really nice page, but the prices are just going through the roof. That's the "invisible claws out Wolverine" issue...he's in every panel, you just can't see him. delekkerste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only you had inked it that way at the time, it might be worth some real money these days. 🙂 adamstrange, tth2 and MagnusX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures. Sorry to hear it. I've had terrible luck with that, as well. Don't know if it's a systemic thing or what, but for one reason or another, I can't count on it.

This stuff may be considered the red headed stepchild compared to Marvel, but apparently DC has been drinking it's milk and doing lots of push-ups behind closed doors. The Wrightson ST page went higher than expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know with Wolverine’s claws out premium, if I were the artist, I would bribe the writer to have Wolverine inflicted with the dreaded claws out virus. They would be impossible to retract. This would last through the entirety of my run, resolving on the last panel. Where Wolverine claws retract, “Looks like I’m over the claws out virus.. first round is on me, bub.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus is that I have the page! Time to ship it off to Heritage! Edited April 4, 2021 by GotSuperPowers?

Don't know if it's a systemic thing or what, but for one reason or another, I can't count on it. Just to add salt to the wound, I did end up getting a text later. About an hour after the lot ended, and 50 lots after another lot I got a text about at the correct time. I was willing to go higher, so I’m hoping I see it in the flip of the day thread soon.

sfilosa Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 2 hours ago, Timely said: The Wrightson ST page went higher than expected! I thought it was going to go for around that amount. Remember another page just went recently in $40K+ range. I need one page for my collection. I was the underbidder (I think). It was a good page (lots of Swampy) but I really would rather have a bigger Swamp Thing and a few less panels. Maybe next time. I also wanted the Ross Andru Amazing Spider-Man page. I liked the fact that Goblin was in it so I was willing to pay pretty high. But $26k when half the page is Flash being thrown out the window seemed like too much. And Cockrum X-Men pages just seem to be increasing a couple grand a month. I really believe there has to be a slow down coming on fairly soon unless..... there are just a few collectors out there scooping up a lot of this art. The challenge as a collector is that any good artist, drawing one of the more popular characters seems like $20k and up (which is just crazy). I do expect to see more and more quality as prices rises. We will see if supply starts to bring the prices down (just slightly) on some of these types of pieces.

Nope. There will be a couple of shallow speed bumps along the way but basically all private assets will run hot into 2032. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about value on this. I love Wood, but don't follow this market as closely as others. My question is, is this the Alpha and Omega of Wood covers? He did so many great ones, but I feel like this might be THE one. Would this be an accurate assessment?

I asked 2 dealers and 1 collector and no one valued it over $8k. Where the hell did I leave my time machine? My question would be why would any seller even consider selling except via auction now? grapeape and John E. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 9 hours ago, jbud73 said: Given what other stuff went for, I thought the BWS Conan panels were actually pretty reasonable for what was depicted on the panels and how many included CONAN. They were the only 2 things I bid on and was outbid as well. Its now 2 years without adding a piece. I just can't justify paying 10K for what is a B to C level piece from an artist I like. Jason! What's up?! And there's the crux of it. While Gene may lament the weakness of BWS Conan interior panel pages, the fact is they're still going for 5-figures. Outside of this little bubble world that OA collectors are inhabiting, that's real money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
