+1, but seriously I know it is way out of my league. This is one of the grails and I expect the price to show that.

I am happy it is sold through Dan. That is the best that could happen both for the buyer and for Lapham.

As do I, but so not in my price range.

Good luck with the sale, Dan :thumb:

Thanks, Guys!
Understandably the price for this historic piece is out of range for most of us.
Any comments, likes or shares, on social media etc., would be very helpful and appreciated!

I posted an update on fb and thought I'd update this thread as well:

I have had several inquiries on the Rai #1 original art cover. Naturally, this iconic piece is going to be out of range for most of us. I'm in the middle of some negotiations and it could sell at any time. If you are on the fence or figuring out a budget plan for this, message me soon so we can talk. Once it's gone it's gone!

That's what he initially told me too. I convinced him otherwise. 8-)

So true. Would even say it's the first appearance of the original Valiant universe. Perfect art for Dinesh and perfect care-taker for the art.
