Original Art Harbinger #1 - Lapham Sale
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."eternalwarrior wrote:Yeah. i would make an offer if you either posted a pic or say the page #.

Re: Original Art Harbinger #1 - Lapham Sale
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.playparadise wrote:Hey guys! Thanks to everyone for your interest.

I can't blame you for wanting more than you paid... it's a nice piece of Valiant history.

Re: Original Art Harbinger #1 - Lapham Sale
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.

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???
