Description

I remember this pinup very well. But for some reason, I'm also thinking this ended up being a cover for something. Maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I know it's Wolverine, but seems a little pricey for Chaykin. IMHO

First, let me apologize in advance for the pain I am about to inflict on all of you. Especially if you are the current or former owner of any of these pieces. I figured since I have a near complete set of Mitch�s old mail order catalogs, it might be �fun� (if not masochistic) to take a stroll down memory lane. But take heart. For even though most (if not all) of these posts will be almost unbearable and cringe worthy to many of you, just remember that 20-30 years from now, these will be the �good old days� to some new collector just starting out.

I�ve gotten many wonderful compliments from the fine people of CAF about my collection/gallery. All giving me credit for being smart enough to buy all the pieces I bought way back when. Well, now I�m about to show you all what an absolute idiot I was. Keep in mind that many of the pieces that currently reside in my collection came from these very same catalogs. So the next time you want to call me a genius for all the pieces I did buy back then, just take a look at some of the rubbish I DIDN�T buy! In other words, this is the collection I COULD�VE had. (Somebody shoot me now! LOL)

What is very interesting to note here is that during this 9-year span of catalogs (1984-1993), there is nothing here that is priced over (or anywhere near) $1000. Actually (with the exception of the Killing Joke page), nothing even breaks the $500 range. Absolutely incredible for pieces that could all easily be five figures (or more) today!

By the way, I�ve got dozens and dozens of these. So I�ll be posting them in chunks from time to time (to prolong the torture).

It would have to be the Davis artwork as its funny! I like his sense of humor.

From a value standpoint, I also would have chosen the Davis. But from a collecting standpoint, since I already have several Davis pieces and no Chaykin art, I would get this to check Chaykin off my list. Plus there was a time when I was actively seeking these Marvel Fanfare pinups. If this was in the $200 range back then, it would probably be in my collection right now. But I think it was priced higher than the other Marvel Fanfare pinups I was picking up back then.

Yeah, actually tracking this on HA. I'm sure the guy who got it for $400 is sorry he ever let it go. Unless of course he's the one putting it up for auction. LOL
