Well, the fire sale is over. If any of you know who ended up with these, let me know. As I mentioned in that previous post and in a comment, I sat all of these out.

It's nice to see that the complete book went for an appropriate price, if you include the "buyer's premium" (auction tax) you end up at $610/page which is remarkably in line with the usual per page price for early pages. In my December 2007 market report, the pre-100 Dave-only issues were $596, on average, and the average price for all pages sold in 2007 was, get this, $610. Of course, I do not include tax in the annual report, so these 22 pages going for $500 each is going to ding the average a bit later this year.

Now... we're pretty sure that these newer pieces came directly from Dave, since we know they've not otherwise appeared and were listed at the Aardvark-Vanaheim (www.cerebusart.com) site. But what about the complete contents of issue #6? Who had that, anyhow? I know for sure it was not in the A-V vault.

And (dare I say it?) the color (um, colour) pieces all came in a little on the low side, historically speaking. A total of $3025 for the 5 of them.
