Just to add, I echo the original posters sentiments in 'wishing' they could own a Ditko Spidey page.
I LOVE this stuff, but unfortunately the asking prices are now far beyond most collectors reach.

There have been several sales of panel pages not from a main Spidey villain's first appearance at public auction in the last 9-12 months, between $38k and $45k....so I don't know how crazy $33k is for a battle page from Mysterio's first appearance.
Given the private and public cash sales I have seen and heard over the last year I was expecting a higher price when I paged to the bottom of that listing.
I didn't say the price was out of line with the market, or that there wasn't some way to justify it.
That doesn't make it any less crazy though.
Oh... I get it.
It's the world we live in I guess.
Just be glad you don't collect Tin Tin Artwork by Herge.
You could buy a whole lotta Ditko with what one prime piece goes for....
I get it.
