Web
site "new look"
Well
fellow collectors, we haven't had a "news" article
for quite some time, but we've been busy buying art and
making sure we have a number of pieces to update our original
art section. You'll also find a heap of cgc-graded comic
books (finally I hear you say!).
The
web site overall has also gone through a "face lift"
and we hope you guys like it. Any further suggestions on
improved navigation, please let us know.
Original
Art Selection
There's
still plenty more art to go up, but there's a great deal
up already for you guys to peruse! From new bronze-age covers,
to plenty of great splashes and panel pages. There's something
there for everyone.
Tim
Sale is hot, hot, hot!! Check out the double page splash
featuring Daredevil and the Owl from Daredevil Yellow.
There will be approximately ten more pieces from Daredevil
Yellow to be placed on the site, so keep watching!!!
We have also acquired the best three covers from Spider-Man
Blue by Tim Sale. The cover to issue one is already
available.
We
also have art for Ghost Rider fans and a heap of new bronze
age covers/panels. Check
them out!!
Comics
Comics Comics!!!
We
finally got around to categorising our comic books and they're
up in our new CGC section. Check
them out and let us know if there's anything in particular
you're looking for. We are also actively seeing consignments,
so contact us if you have high-grade books for sale.
Of
particular mention:
- the
highest graded Three Dimensional EC Classics #1 (CGC
VF/NM 9.0), Gaines Pedigree. This is one of
the rarest ECs to come across and is complete with all
3-D glasses.
- Tales
from the Crypt #32 (CGC NM 9.4)
-
only 1 of 3 copies graded NM, there is only one other
copy graded higher (9.6). In our opinion this should have
graded a 9.6, but thems the breaks ;-)
- Sub-Mariner
#1 (CGC NM+ 9.6), Western
Penn Pedigree.
- Nick
Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 (CGC
NM 9.4) Western Penn Pedigree.
- Iron
Man #1 (CGC NM+ 9.6)
- Iron
Fist #1 (CGC NM 9.4) -
a hot bronze age book that just keeps going up!
- Doctor
Strange #169 (CGC NM/M 9.8)
-
a tremendous book, none have graded higher than 9.8
- Daredevil
#1 (CGC VF+ 8.5) -
we believe this book is still very undervalued. With the
Daredevil movie out next year, watch this hit the roof!
There's
plenty more comics to choose from them, so check em out!
Icons
of the Orthodox Russia
We
are pleased to introduce some magnificent examples of Russian
Orthodox Icons soon to our web site. Please e-mail us if
you would like to be notified when they are available These
icons originate from the 17th century through to the 19th
century and encapsulate the religious faith of the Russia
people. All have been authenticated and are some of the
best examples of this kind. Keep watching....
Auction
Report
We've
been watching closely what's been happening on eBay and
Yahoo over the past 4 weeks. A few Bronze Age books are
shining through as keys for this period. In particular Daredevil
#158, Ghost Rider #1, Marvel Spotlight #5 and Amazing Spider-Man
(in general). Other books worthy of note are Daredevil #131,
Daredevil #168, Incredible Hulk #180 and Daredevil #1, which
have all been showing very strong growth. The Daredevil
Miller run (DD #158-191) is also emerging as a potential
investment lot and should do very well next year when the
Daredevil movie is released. High grade Bronze/Modern books
are fetching prices that surpass the NM Overstreet price,
especially those in 9.6 or higher grade. 9.8's tend to go
for exceptional prices and there is no shortage of bids
in the market.
With
many key Silver Age books out of reach for most collectors,
auctions prices realised for Bronze Age books is heating
up. And it doesn't look to stop any time soon. Key books
valued at the $50 mark in the Overstreets price guide are
now commanding $500+ (in 9.6/9.8 grade) with 9.8 graded
books often realising 50x or more than the NM Overstreet
price!
