I have never seen a good Ditko panel page sell for $64K before tonight, so you might be right. Ask Burkey for prices on his twice up Romita ASM pages; I'm sure they're not cheap.
ASM 59 is standard 11 x 17, not twice up.

Seemed like prices were really strong in this auction. The Ditko blew my mind. Another weird price was brought by an Adam Hughes Wonderman sketch that went north of 5k. I'm used to seeing these go for 2 or 3 grand, but 5? It all seems like irrational exuberance to me.

The summary for me is "always the bridesmaid never the bride" 
I was underbidder on a couple of items. DIdn't win but at least I made the winner pay an honest price
Too bad I had dinner plans and had to put m max bid a couple of hours before the auction ended, not sure if a manual snipe would have made a difference. Oh well

The ASM #6 page is already at $34K. Any prognostications on how high it'll go? Solid Spidey images, Lizard appearance (to tie in with the upcoming movie), earliest Spidey art on the market - lots of things that would push this one way up there. $64,000!!!!! WTF!?!?!?
Maybe Marc Maron bought it.

The were approximately 770 large art interior asm pages drawn by ditko (not counting annuals 1-2) (38 issues but some earlier issues had 21-23 pages)
And there were 300 large art romita asm pages ever drawn.... (39-53) minus annual 3
I sold recently a large art lizard battle page from asm 44 for right about half what the asm 6 sold for... (i promised the buyer i would not disclose the exact amt.)
i only sold this page to him because he is a friend and has been asking me for about 2 years for it so i did the deal.
I started colelcting comic art in 89-90. a large art ditko asm actain page was 1000 dolalrs on avg, and i chose instead to buying large art asm pages for 40 dollars early on sometimes 75 bucks as i didnt have the big bucks for Ditko asm collecting!
the range was about 25-1 up to 12-1 for a ditko versus romita large asm pages.
I'd say a 2-1 ratio nowadays is about right.
but for small art romita asm obviously the ratio is way way bigger for ditko versus romita..
i've done many deals privately over the past 2 years on small art asm pages...all deals were for 10-17k range with spiderman on em.
on a side note...... these 2 comiclink asm 59 pages were offered to me 1-2 months ago....i agreed to pay the guy 13k for the pair through a middle man buddy and the guy balked at my offer sayinghe can get alot more.
after comiclink takes their commission he gets hundreds LESS than 13k for the pair. 
but its part of the chance you take with auctions... sometimes you make a great profit.....sometimes you dont.

Question to the folks that were astonished at the $64K closing price - what do you think it should have closed at?
I was surprised by a few other results:
-Kirby JIM 106p17 = $15K
-Colan TOS 94p8 = $5.7K
-Sekowsky WW 179 page for $2.7K (yeah, change in direction, but still, no costume)
-Land Wolverine 55 page = 4.5K

I was surprised by the Land. I had offered it on the site for 3K before. I even bought it from the Donnellys and did not take a loss on it but a slight gain. A large reason why I went a head and put it in the auction was I noticed the Yu Wolverine cover in the last big Clink auction sold for 4K which I thought it was pretty strong.

Just when we thought we knew the answers, they changed the questions!
