Thats a really sweet sketch by T. Not 10k sweet, but awesome anyways. Defaced by Stan of course, but thats prob where the seller thinks this 10k value is  |

| *smurks*....and it isn't even a yellow label. Can an OA on a comic book be ASP, if coming directly from the artist? Or does CBCS have to witness the artwork being drawn and then signed? IMO - as to the pricing.....I might be pushing....uhm.....$300-500.00 tops. I don't think I would even entertain anything higher than that. And trust me...that is pushing it. 1:1 OAs are cool, but the interest is usually very limited, because of the supply/demand ratio, thus doesn't interest me too much, except if I found it for much, much less. |

| We should all send him emails asking if it's still available and if he has any others. He'll think there's huge demand and raise the price. | ||

| @ZosoRocks Yes, an artist can submit the book directly to CBCS, along with a very short form they fill out and sign, for the book to get a yellow label. I've done it with a few commissions | ||

| Thanks. That explains a lot. This piece probably cost the original owner less than $200 to complete a two-color profile sketch. Are they hoping some rich Beverly Hills collector "just has to have it"? These people help give the industry a bad image. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| $1,000 maybe, but definitely not $10,000. Do you know how hard it IS to get Toddy to sketch anything these days? It's next to IMPOSSIBLE I TELL YOU | ||

For $10,000 why wouldn't you just try to reach out to Todd's people and get him to do you something custom? They might say "no" but it doesn't hurt to ask and unless you do the answer will always be "no". |

| If Mcfarlane is 10K, a Stan Lee sketch should be 15K. I know there's a TON of Lee signatures but I haven't seen many sketches. Haven't looked though. |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke 15k rare? Theres a recent sale for a Stan stick figure on a sheet of paper for $82, looks just like this one. Only other one I could see was a BIN sale of $4,500 but its a bit suspect (it was a best offer auction but sold for full asking). |

| Something just occurred to me. Could these sellers be using crazy prices with the Best Offer feature just so they get the number one search spot when searching prices highest to lowest? | ||

| That definitely could be. I've seen comic websites and accounts publish news about high asking prices or sales so it could be them wanting more exposure to liken the sale maybe? | ||
