May Heritage Auction starting to look pretty interesting 3 3

[tth2]

There are a few OA pieces I wouldn't mind winning, but for the first time in ages my focus in a Heritage auction is more on the comics than the OA. 

[innocuous]

In my perfect world, I would make a run at this. But, I'll have to just dream something similar will show up in the future...

 

 

I'm also interested in this just for curiosity. I have something similar on a backing board, not a sketch cover.

I know what you mean. I was amazed when I saw that Captain America Comics #74 with a grade of 9.2. That book is hard to find and when they get listed always in low grade. It will be fun to see what that goes for with it being the top graded copy now too. Same with the Startling Comics #46 in 9.8. Almost all these books are now the highest graded copies available or tied for it.

Definitely gonna be interesting to see how this unfolds as much of the country (and world) open back up.

1st Sabrina story already at 13k...

Or for that matter, Sub-Mariner doing his best Mr. Fantastic with his left arm.

I like the namor image well enough, but there's no way jack drew that hulk face.. .which is a shame when its so central to the image.    The rest of the piece is really cool

Now I feel better about giving up on it.

And why are they all levitating off the ground?

and why is Captain America punching the air?

and why is Spider-Man about to fall on his head?

and why is Iron Man’s feet so small?

and why are the Thing and Dr. Strange just standing there?

and how can the Human Torch turn on a dime at a 90 degree angle?

and when will Thor finally cut his hair?

and when will anybody notice the Invisible Girl? Or is she a woman now?

and for that matter, where is Mr. Fantastic? Is he really the Sub-Mariner in disguise? That would be a stretch!

This is one of the most curious Kirby pin-ups I've seen. Almost every character's pose, separately, would be cool corner box art, but when you see them together they make a strange repetition of form (see how The Thing and Thor are bookending each other? There's a lot of that). Esquire must have given him some oddball art direction. And I think that's a Marie Severin Hulk face.  HA seems to have dropped the Sinnott inks attribution.

He also has the impact of gravity all wrong.

We must be looking at different things, ‘cause 99% of the 300 times that I’m tracking are quite tame.

Still got a ways to go.

any others?

This thread has gone super-quiet over the past few weeks but now there's only a few days to go before live bidding and I'm already priced out of the comics I wanted to purchase ($96K for Marvel Spotlight #5 in 9.8 is bananas, but there's only four in this condition so if you really, really want one, you're really, really gonna have to pay up for the privilege)

Looking through the current bids in the OA section, there's still numerous pieces that should triple, quadruple, and even quintuple by the time the final hammer is struck.

Good luck to all!

Yeah JJ11 that MS5 is special but you have to print money to compete at that level today.
