Hi All

Any ideas on the Iron Man poster (bought mine via 1XRun)? Just curious

Cheers

Bast, not Bask

What's the going rate for POW Mickey please? Its the larger edition not the glitter one. One of the later ones that went back to Bast and got extra hand finishing. Thanks

[Howard Johnson]

Sold one last year for $675 if that helps. Its one of his best!

Do we have to guess which one it is? Didn't know this was going to be on the final exam.

I can attest to a $750 sale in OCT of 2014 if that helps at all.  I know it is quite dated, but figured I would provide it to you just in case -

Thanks for that. They don't seem to come up too often considering the edition size.

It's underrated. It's one of his best IMO, and the composition is much more pleasing then the jumbled colleges he's known for (although I'd love me an Old Spice). The glitter ones are nice too, if you don't mind paying a little extra.

there is a Mickey at ebay right now. starting at 500 gbp.
not mine :-)
but have a similar one bought 2 years ago for 220 gbp - and love it - not for sale :-)

Iv always though the Mickeys very good value.
Even at £500 it's good value.
Classic image hand finnished and fairly large. The one on the bay has a ton of hand finishing.

I do own one so I'm biased (not the one for sale). My one has shit head written on the bottom..

I remember those sh*thead's landing and a few people complaining that the wife didn't like them. Few hit eBay and were snapped up by a forum member. Pretty cool IMO.

I agree with all of the above sentiment; it is indeed one of his best!  The interesting thing with this first edition, and the value holding and climbing, is that it is a large edition for him sitting at 100 total pieces.  The Glitter has 30 and the colored has 40.  Besides Popeye (1st ed. - 140) and Calling Card (150), I don't believe he has any additional higher editions.

...and speaking of underrated, I love Calling Card.  It is such an awesome print on that glossy stock.  The hand finishing on it is plentiful, not overbearing, and thick.  Plus it is still available at POW and a "steal" when comparing what has just been said above ($355 USD).

Huge Bast fan here. I realize that I'm in the minority, but I don't like Mickey much. Although the different hand-finished variations are appealing, the composition as a whole seems flat and lacks depth. There's too much empty white space bordering the image that could have been better utilized. To be honest, I prefer the jumbled collages: they're inspired, well conceived -- and full of surprises. I always discover something new each time I look at Creme Fresh or The Nose.

Any thoughts on a hand finished painted screenprint of Popeye from POW with COA etc, blind stamped, numbered. Would like to get a ball park figure of what to expect to pay for this. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hand painted base colours, oil stick details and signature, black screened key line on recycled paper with what appears to be pieces of straw etc in it. I would imagine this is pretty hard to fake and what with the COA or paperwork from POW it looks safe enough. Just wondered what the going rate might be, ball park figures anyone?
Thanks in advance.

[frankiefrench]

Its at times like this i'm so thankful for the forum members who have seen it long before I did.
Really appreciate the heads up. I mean I love the piece but its a bit over the top price wise, still got 17 watchers though at the moment.
Cheers geester.

For sure, $625+ USD is about spot on right now - awesome piece.

[frankiefrench]

The seller will not budge on price, no idea why when he couldnt even shift it at £650 so how he got up to £800 I will never know, its way over the top so i'm OOT! As Duncan Bannatyne would say.
Thanks anyway everyone for the advice, this post is done with.

[bonesy]

Where is the COA from?

edit: found the listing, purchase receipt included not COA

[disappointed]

This Popeye search reminds me that I have the low edition (maybe eight?) black background release of this somewhere. I recall it being very ugly (when compared to the regular edition) which, for me, is very much a positive for a BAST. No idea where it is now though or I'd have a proper look at it..

Incidentally, this hand finished Popeye seems a bargain at £600 or so. He was making great work back then, much more so than the direction he has been following for the last five or six years which I've found to be quite awful. Rae used to seem a poor man's BAST but I'd say recent BAST is now a rich man's Rae. Sad times..

[iamzero]

There was a time I just didn't get the appeal of the Popeye or Mickey pieces but I love one now and do wished I'd bought one.

Had the same issue with that seller. Made multiple offers up to £700
I ended up paying £795 for one from a gallery.
After I bought it he was messaging me offering it for less.
Go cold on him and he may well come back to you.
It's been on eBay for ever!
I suppose the hard thing is finding one for sale. Rarely seem to come up

I have one and recon they will keep going up in price, it's been a slow rise but it's a underrated future classic.
I think I paid around £550 a year or two ago.
£550/600 would be a good price, but if you want one maybe you will have to pay a little more.
Lovely thick paint on these....

Wise words and thanks for the repiles all on here. I did in fact offer him £600 in the end, which I and it seems everyone else felt was a good and fair deal at the moment for one of these but he is shooting for the stars and i'm not the guy on this one. The fact that i've now found out from helpful forum members that it has been around for time is also off putting.
Definitely agree that this is a future classic but i'm not letting my heart rule my head, as keen as I am for a Bast piece i'll hold out for a better price.
And yes, anyone with a genuine good deal on something is free to contact me.

[frankiefrench]

Agreed Etongroover, they come up only rarely. It seems this seller is not the easiest to deal with, i've dodged a bullet.
Cheers.

Does anyone have any idea about the value of a Bast - Revolution Mickey hand finished print?
Thank you in advance.

Sold one last year for around $800 if that helps. Good luck, I definitely regretted selling mine!

Many thanks, much appreciated.

Looking for price check on Bast Piggy1/8... Amazing print and very rarely comes on the market. US NYC based and looking to shift mine soon. COA in hand and framed floated to archival standards behind UV glass.
