The Avengers 74 page came from Jim Warden at DOA. Bought in early 2000 (I have the correspondence). The Sub-Mariner 4 page; I'm not sure- maybe came from eBay, maybe one of the prominent dealers. Not from an auction house. Sometime between 2000-2004. I likely paid between $650 - $750 for each page; more than $500 and less than $800 I'm sure. I paid more for the Buscema-Palmer Avengers page than the Buscema-Giacoia Subby page. Probably $100-$150 more. I did all my OA buying from late 1999 to sometime in mid 2006. I had all my records transferred over to a floppy from my old computer, and I've lost track of the disk.  It's probably somewhere with my No-Prize (which I also can't find) and the mates of all the socks I can't match. So other than hard copies of some correspondence, I don't have exact records - just my memory (which is good, but not 100% accurate). But I do remember ball-park figures. I bought my stuff off eBay (back when the OA section was OA, not amateur art/porn pin-ups and overpriced advertising), auction houses like Heritage and All-Star, and dealers like Burkey, Hans, Conrad, Snyder, Moy, Josh (before ComicLink started auctioning OA) McDermott, etc. The sale prices for the 2 pieces are still on CAF - $4K for the Avengers and $3300 for the Subby. I priced 'em to sell rather quickly, and they did. Lasted about 5-10 minutes on CAF. |

That's wonderful, thanks Ben!
I still kick myself for missing the Miracleman #15 cover that Totleben had on his website for $600 in the late 90's.
Yes, you red that correctly.
$600.
I think it sold for $50,000+ last time it sold.

If we could only consistently and accurately predict the future.  Then again, comics and comic art would likely not be a major focus if that were the case. |
