There is too much going on in the collecting world now days to not want to be a part of a forum like this. We would miss out on too much! Heck, we all got to see the original Contra art already! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrexian Hulk | 15 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 What an amazing piece to own. And I learned something as in I had no idea the original name for Contra was Gryzor. I knew about the PAL version change being called Probotector but not this. Congratz man!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty | 187 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thanks a lot, that’s very kind. From your username I’m guessing you’re into mtg? Follow mtg art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrexian Hulk | 15 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yep played MTG back from about '95-'01 then got back into it about 4 years ago. Wish I'd have kept my original collection as it would fetch in the high 5 figure range in 2019. I don't follow anything specific when it comes to original MTG Art other than just seeing the big headlines. I believe the asking price on the art for the Black Lotus was over 5 million and moxes close to a mill each. Insane to say that but they are iconic just as video game original art has become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty | 187 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 yes that’s right time walk sold for a mil. The moxes a little less. In a way what’s crazier to me is the price some of the brand new stuff gets. 25-40k for some of the new planes walkers where the paint isn’t even dry yet. ydwen efreet is for sale at next HA auction, should do well.

Rooster | 124 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Do you know who owns the original art for Super C? And also was it the same artist for Contra, Super C, and Contra III? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty | 187 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Either destroyed or lost to the community. Not the same artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted52405 | 178 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 This is super cool given your public bounty a while back - now I really desire to go play some Contra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nuts! every single brand new set has at least a piece or three that sell for five figures yeah. Here's a transcript of some card from the new set. There's probably more valuable ones but its the first one I found. Again, this is brand new and not vintage. Anything from alpha is 50k up these days. UPDATE: We are at $16,500.00. Hello everyone. We have another new Howard Lyon painting for The card Fabled Passage from the upcoming Throne of Eldrane Magic the Gathering set. It is being auctioned exclusively in the MTG Art Market starting now and ends on Monday October 7th at 11:00 Eastern Standard Time. This is a nice sized piece with the Dimensions being 16 x20 inches oil on linen on Gatorboard. A small note. The floating Lilly pad with a Lotus on it on the left side of the tree was digitally moved further away from the tree under Wizards direction. Howard and I both prefer it where it was originally painted. This is a highly playable card. It’s better then Evolving Winds. Looking for an opening bid of $3000.00. Please bid in $50.00 minimum increments. If any bid is placed with in 10 minutes of the auction ending, 10 minutes will be added from the time of that bid until there are no bids within the 10 minute period of time. Please make all bids by PM'ing me directly or by placing your bid on this original thread in the MtG Art Market Facebook page. Bidding amount does not include shipping charges from Utah. Payment by Pay Pal sent directly to Howard. Payment may be broken up into 3 equal payments over 2 months. Howard will also include foil 1/30 artist proof. Good luck, Mark Aronowitz and Howard Lyon. PS. Howard will be out of the country till October 18th. Once back he will ship. Edited November 1, 2019 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrexian Hulk | 15 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Wow these new artists are cleaning up. I could see something like Jace the Mind sculptor original art going for this much but, art from a set that came out 2 months ago? Just wow.

Bronty | 187 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Tip of the iceberg (!) as things like Nicol Bolas planeswwlker from the set earlier in the year went 40k. Only a few new ones have gone over 40 but lots have gone over 25. From looking at jace I would think that’s digital, and from the cards notoriety I’d guess that if it was traditional it would be an easy six figures not five figures. It’s pretty nuts out there. And yeah artists like Terese Nielsen and Rebecca Guay and Chris Rahn and so on must be cleaning up. Getting assigned to paint a powerful card is basically a 25k bonus for them. And again, this is for new stuff . The heat on anything powerful or interesting that’s pre legends is off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of cool stuff out there but also lots destroyed or owned by corporations unfortunately. As a rough guide only 10% of the NES stuff is in private hands. Maybe we get to 15 or 20 percent one day? BUt never 60 or 80. Capcom from mega man 3 until the date tings went digital is generally out there. Everything else is real spotty.

1upped | 152 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I just love it when perseverance, conviction and love for a game related item comes through. I am fairly certain that Dan had to let go some of his babies to land such an epic piece. And so worth it once it comes to fruition. Congrats.
