MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by verbalkint on May 27, 2007 0:29:14 GMT 1, Has anyone else noticed that the amount of micallefs going on ebay has dried up quite dramaticly. Still a few JD's, but hardly any angel bombers or FF's, SMS's and only a trickle of eyestorm prints.
There was a time a few weeks ago when you could guarantee at least 6 angel bombers, 6 JD's and loads of other gems every time you logged on. It certainly looks like the flippers have flipped and the prices are on their way up. FF went for ยฃ1275 today which i think is a new high.
Just wondered what everyone else thinks

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by mose on May 27, 2007 0:52:12 GMT 1, i would think that there are 2 causes:
1. After a while the pieces, especially the eyestorms with their limited numbers, end up in the hands of people who are going to frame and keep. This also applies to the early February POW releases, which found their way into permanent collections after a spell on the 'bay...
2. During the Micallef lull of the last few months, people began stockpiling in anticipation of the September LA show....
I think Save My Soul is the POW that is going to take off like a rocket in the fall due to it including hand painting.....the time for a bargain on ebay is quickly coming to an end...

respectable job....I think it is the 'Radar Rat' of Micallef(or at the very least his 'Insect President')........
higher run, yes, but by far a better piece...

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by verbalkint on May 27, 2007 2:05:20 GMT 1, i got 2 pair of angel bombers for ยฃ1150 total which i think will be a great buy, there are some bargains to be had, but friendly fire will be his most expensive POW release in the coming years my opinion. Infact i can see it easily topping ยฃ2k by the end of the year

it's funny, Friendly Fire was such an instant hit but I really think it is his weakest POW work overall(although, the printing of the Angel Bombers was a bit of a let down)...
I definitely like my Micallef less immediate than Friendly Fire was........i don't find myself getting lost in it like a lot of his other works....

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by verbalkint on May 27, 2007 4:24:58 GMT 1, I wouldnt say 'no chance' thomas, you have to admit that it is a hell of alot more popular than SMS is right now. I havn't seen either in person so wont comment, but you are not the first person i have heard rave about SMS, so i will buy it and give you my honest opinion. fair enough!

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by neutral on May 27, 2007 9:35:15 GMT 1, Even if FF is more rated price wise, I agree with Mose that it is not as strong as SMS.
I know the majority seems to go the other way but I love Micallefs work dealling with mass consumerism rather than guns.
For that reason I rate much more SMS.
Eyestorm time was more appealing to me, still nice pieces with Lazinc yet when there is no weapon...
Anyway, I am happy to have both but only one is on my wall...

I watched the final couple of minutes for the FF auction and saw it quickly go from 1k to 1275. quite funny to watch the frantic bidding conclude.
You're right though. The last Angel Bomber went for 585, which is quite a lot more than usual. This must be due to the lack of availability. A few people have noted that AM's work will rise in cost as the supply dries up, and it looks as though this has now begun.
Agree with Thomas on the SMS point. Very underated.

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by slinkink on May 27, 2007 10:22:41 GMT 1, i agree with thomas!
SMS is an amazing piece of work. i have two and the overpainting (or artists mark or whatever you want to call it) is very different between them. i honestly think it is very underrated. i love the angel bombers but agree the printing isn't best. friendly fire is a little too obvious for my taste but as ever each to their own.

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by worlddomination on May 27, 2007 11:51:39 GMT 1, I bought SMS just after Xmas for just a shade over ยฃ800,typically the prices dropped after I bought, but I bought it to keep so I wasn't that bothered.I have noticed now however that it's come back up again and there's one on the bay with plenty of time to run and it's at ยฃ875 already. I would agree that although it's a high print run it's hand finished so should prove to be the one that will continue to rise, and it's a wicked image.

MICALLEFS DRYING UP, by stuey09 on May 28, 2007 16:31:11 GMT 1, Very true. I think the NOUM that has just gone for 1106 also suggests that the demand for Micallefs work is stronger than the supply. The Eyestorm and PoW prints will seem quite cheap if there is the anticipated hype next year.
