Just ran across this on ebay. Some people have been asking where the unpublished pieces were. Here's one of them.

Well, I for one am not interested... I don't think I'll even put it on my watch list... I certainly won't bid... it's not worth having.... I don't think I'd own it to save my life.
















:gossip: Let's see if that reverse psychology really works or not. :D

For the winning bidder, I will also include 8 1/2 x 11 inch hardcopies for all the art AND the scripts for issues #4, #5, #6, and digital copies of the first three issues plus all collected info for the last three issues, so you can see how the story would have turned out.

It's currently at $20.50. What do you other original art collectors think it will go for? Rare piece, but kind of a boring page, IMO. I see it going for around $100-150. I'm sure there is a huge variable when it comes to Starlin art, when it comes to its age and company it was produced for. I know his Captain Marvel covers have to go for thousands, when (and if) they ever come up for sale.

funny you say that....I was gonna bid high, til i saw the page itself. REALLY boring page, I can't pay big bucks and not even appreciate the subject matter I'm paying for. It's a page you buy just because it wasn't published.

If this book would have been published, this would be a $20-$30 page! :thumb:

It's a really boring page thats for sure.

I can see this page reaching the $80-135 mark.

It's more than I'm willing to spend on it... :hm:

If it reached $150 it wouldn't shock me but the buyer would have overpaid for it IMO.

He does and there was a point where he only wanted to sell it as a LOT meaning all at once or not at all.

Well, it was sitting unsold for years. At a price which would make this page cheaper than some of the guesses here. It's a pity that Rubinstein uses a dealer who takes liberties with the truth. Had he used a good dealer these pages would have been sold a long time ago.

When the issues were still complete, they were for sale at $2000 each.

Someone else who feels the way I do! I can't tell you how many deals I've passed up because it turns out the creator is represented by this individual and I will not deal with him.

Dialogue for the Page

PAGE TWELVE:

1. I’m starting to feel good about things, Lou. I know that Solar won’t simply go away, but…yes, I’m feeling good about the situation.

2. Don’t feel too good…

3. As long as the Armageddon Clock is still ticking down, all existence is still in jeopardy.

4. Here, I’ll make it so you can see it, too.

5. Betcha the Man in the Red Suit’ll make some kind of desperate move…there’ll be some kind of showdown…

6. …four cosmic ticks from now.

7. Perhaps. But as long as I have his darling Gayle…

8. Yeah. The way I see it, the only problem you got is if he finds her and…

9. Hey, where did you stash her, Alex? Maybe I can suggest someplace better.

10. No thanks.

11. Playin’ it close to the vest, huh? Good idea. Yep. Loose lips sink boats and all that.

12. Well, hey, my wife’s probably worried sick that I’m having a good time. Guess I’ll say good-bye to Sandy, crawl home and grovel my way through another lambasting. Seeya.

13. Soon.

14. The recruits all here, Darque. Every one (NOTE: “Every one” is deliberate) we contact. Some brought friends. They waiting for you.

15. Thanks, Anansi.

16. Ah! Ladies and gentlemen…

Yes, they were priced like that for a few years.

Unless you love Starlin art, paying over $50 if too much IMO. I was never a fan of his art on this series.
