What are your "pages that got away"...??

I'm touching, a little; not much, though.

Bah... spent the last hour looking for that page on-line, and can't find it; I have no idea where I saw it before.

Oh well.. money saved, regrettably.

Ed draws a great Hulk, but I can't find that page now, and the other pages don't appeal to me for the price that they're going for. I'm still refusing to use credit cards on art.

There's a great page of Hulk vs. Rulk, but the Hulk is just getting POUNDED in every panel... which probably explains why it's still available.

I always play the waiting game on art, so I don't mind waiting. I'm probably not familiar with half the art dealers/auction houses/websites you guys are, anyways.

I got beat on a Swamp Thing page earlier this year when I was not going all-out on bids and lost out by like $20. Wish I upped my final price though since it was a nice one. Now I just place my highest big initially since every time I try and snipe I forget about the auction's end time.

I also missed out on a Gray Morrow piece that was nice when I checked completed auctions and saw a nice page that sold pretty low but I never paid attention to since I looked at it on my smartphone earlier and didn't see the details in the OA that the piece had some characters in it that I collected.

My biggest disappointment though is a full-group shot animation cel from Battle of the Planets that was on Yahoo! Japan that I skipped out on since I didn't want to place a bid so high on an overseas auction. Wish I did since it is so hard to ever find a BoTP group cel anywhere.

Not Necessarily a page, but at my first con in Calgary in 09, I was looking through Mike Choi and Sonia Oback's art for sale and there was a huge Punisher pin-up that took up the whole page , it was penciled by Mike and colored by Sonia. Such an awesome piece but I had already spent all the money I had on comics and I knew nothing about OA at the time so I didn't pull the trigger, but if I ever came across that piece again, I would buy it in a heartbeat!!
