Hey RS,

I'm guessing that the seller is just testing the market with an outrageous price given the current promotion of the movie for release next March.

I would be stunned if he received a genuine bid of that amount for the page! Best,

Royd

To answer the title question? Hell no.

I love original art, but it just gets silly past a certain price level. Same for comic books. Even if I had the money, I wouldn't pay going prices for top-grade books, I don't think. (Tough to know for sure, not having that kind of scratch...)

Granted, ask me this same question about a Ditko page from issue #2 of Amazing Spidey, and I might take longer getting to the "no".

Exactly; the market will decide if this was ridiculous or not. It'll be interesting to see.
