this i blame on sketch covers. to me prices seemed reasonable and then a boom in sketch covers came over and now prices have gone sky high.

I will say the Smoking Jacket crew were a bit obnoxious the first year they were at the Heroes Auction but some of the members aren't there anymore and it is not that bad at all now. There are a few people who wear them but doesn't seem as clicky as it did the first year.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Good call ... the whole market has gone crazy and there are many examples of it - I thought the hobby jumped the shark when the McSpidey cover went for $650K.

Starfire is very nice - do you know if this was an eBay/pre-con piece and if so what it cost?

I seem to recall the Ursula piece and IIRC was maybe a con piece that was before the pricing shift

Wasp seems less detailed than the Starfire - any clue if this was BFS (before flipper shift) or after?

the starfire is for the statue design he did for DC, i ended up being the underbidder on it, upset i lost out on it but i wasn't willing to go over 4k on it so i guess someone else was
