One thought on “Going, Going, Gone! …Sold for $12,000

  1. I find some of those sales prices surprisingly high and others surprisingly low. These results only prove the maxim that something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

    It also proves that, in the circles interested in original comic art (e.g., me), there just aren’t many bargains left anymore. Not like the days when people I know bought original Krazy Kats for pocket change. Alas.
