That is mysteriously getting lost in the mail, guaranteed.
slabs are doing so so well in the market place currently; particularly moderns and particularly when theyâre not 9.8

Weâre improving though with the Duct Taped Banana.
If one remembers, several years ago was the artistic Madonna NFT âMother Earthâ 
A few sold for a few hundred thousand if I remember correctly.
Apparently it did NOT sellâŚdid not hit the reserveâŚdouble OUCH!
Iâm sure just having a reserve cost the seller a chunk of cash. Walk of shame to have it sent back.
Reserves just encourage shill bidding, IMO. Although Iâm not sure how this is handled with heritage. I assume heritage says what the opening bid is, and the seller decides if they want a reserve price at the startâŚfor a cost.
Auction houses hate reserves and try to sway people to not have one. Auction houses will try to get top dollar but their commission is based off the sale.
The economy blows. Iâm paying almost the equivalent of my mortgage for PART TIME child care. This book will sell once we recover⌠IF we recover.

Not a record sale overallâŚbut blew everything away below 9.0âŚincluding 3x that of a 4.5 during the comic boom.

I know recent auctions have been hit or miss on big books so good to see some that are positives.
For those Skottie fans out there:

Whereâs the sale through? His site?
Yes, the picture links to his original art page. It will be updated Feb 25 at 10am with the art that will be on sale.
Given what Skottie charges for a sketch, and the reference to âbangersâ, Iâd expect this drop to be quite expensive.
Youngâs style isnât my thing, but if itâs yours, prepare your pocketbooks.

Probably should start a sister thread titled âcrazy sales.â
67 is a Jim Lee cover that doesnât show up in high grade often. Mustâve started a bidding war between two people that had to have it.
Issue 29 is an odd one, as itâs not a great cover and technically all the characters the CGC label says âfirst appearedâ had already appeared in other transformer comics.
