Original Art Harbinger #1 - Lapham Sale

Post by playparadise »

Any of these pages come up for sale recently and at what price? I have the 1st cameo appearance of Torque (shadow) and wonder if anyone is willing to make an offer for that piece...

Sounds like the page that starts on the top left with Pete saying, "No, that's a waste of time. If this guy was anything special they would have found out."

Hey guys! Thanks to everyone for your interest. I bought the page for around $450 five yrs ago so I'm looking for North of $650. Thanks again for reaching out. I thought these pages would have been worth a pretty penny more than my purchase price.

Problem is, it's just hidden away all wrapped up right now so if the price is right it could find a new home.

Might BIN it on eBay if nothing settles here.

It's the first page in Harbinger #1 with all five "Harbinger kid" characters, even if it's only a little of the big guy.
I can't blame you for wanting more than you paid... it's a nice piece of Valiant history.

:clap:

Nice page! Part of the problem price wise may be that there was very little of Laphams work on the market back then, then he basically unloaded the floodgates. I think they still should hold a premium and you made a solid buy back then and would today as well. I think Interest has also seemed to fall off some as well in the valiant art market , maybe the economy, maybe death of the genre, who knows. Unless its Kirby or miller or someone similar, investing in it really is a crap shoot and valiant art is definitely not the way to load up the 401 k truck/car, unless of course you were joe p. at the tale end of the 90s.

It's a great piece, but I can't swing that much for it now....still have to finish my slabbed collection of all the V1 variants.

Man, it would be just an irresistible page without the paste-ups. Many do not mind but it really bugs me. Anyone know why there were paste ups on the faces? Shooter force David to redrew them??? :)
