I bought one page, but there are still five left! I think $50 each (and Buy-It-Now!) seems pretty reasonable.

Neat!

$50 a page?

That is crazy if you ask me.

[ironmask]

For original comic pages? Nah. That's actually pretty good.

[Draznar]

I don't understand. I own the first three comics and bought them all for considerably less combined and complete.

Pass.

Draz, I beleive these are the original drawings that the comics were printed from.

[ironmask]

These ARE the original drawings. I don't know how that keeps getting missed.

Stupid Canada.

I bought a page. $50 for a piece of original art is ridiculously inexpensive.

[Run Amuck Duck]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of original artwork. I wouldn't have posted them if I didn't think $50 each was a good price. You talk about rarity? Each of these pages is truly one-of-a-kind. Frame these babies up and it's a great way to round out a BB display!

But, probably this.

You know how shifty those snowherders can be.


Personally, buying just one page of a comic book, even if it is original artwork, doesn't really appeal to me.
Maybe, if it was a full page, single-panel of a character that I liked. But for just a regular, multi-panel page yanked out of the middle of the story?
Not for me.

Is still neat, though.

I think 50 bucks is an amazing price for original art and I also think this is a pretty sweet little thing to have in a BB collection....too bad I don't collect them!

I agree 100%. Cover artwork or splash pages will always be more desirable than just a singular page. I did some investigating of the seller and he has the original cover artwork to issue #1 in his personal collection, and I think that's really cool.

 

For me, subject matter is what's important. There's just not a lot of original artwork for Battle Beasts that's even available for sale. Somewhere, the Hasbro paintings for the packages exist, but there are only a handful of those and they'd bring a fortune if they ever came up for sale. For $50, I can now say I have one piece of original Battle Beast artwork.

 

I was very lucky for my Mr. T collection. I have a panel done by Jack Davis for Mad Magazine. However, he did the piece separately, so it's just Mr. T firing a gun rather than a whole page of other stuff that I wouldn't fit in my collection. So sometimes, you luck out with interior page artwork.

This is exactly the reason I bought a page. I have a bunch of side items – magazine ads, pamphlets, etc. This is a nice addition to that stuff.
