<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3101005, member: 5833&quot;]I&#039;m starting this thread as a place to post the outcomes from completed cameo sales that surprise you, either for how much a cameo sold for or for how little it fetched.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, we had our eye on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/284093860444" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/284093860444" rel="nofollow">this cameo of Jesus</a> in another thread because it is signed, clearly, Perotti, and the market for signed cameos has really grown.&nbsp; It went from £30 to £206 (about $275), sniped, with 4/10 second to go, by a 7th bidder who placed no earlier bids.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SU0AAOSwObdfvrXL/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From the same seller, an <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/284093861195" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/284093861195" rel="nofollow">unsigned cameo portrait</a> of an unknown gentleman, a type of cameo that not long ago attracted very little interest, went from £30 to £216 (approx. $288), sniped at 6/10 of a second to go by an 8th bidder who did not bid earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/XrAAAOSwwiFfvrYM/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The quality of workmanship is comparable, neither is set, Jesus does have a significant hairline crack that could become a break.&nbsp; The signature accounts for the price reached by Jesus.&nbsp; My surprise is that the unsigned gent surpassed him, evidence that a new appreciation of cameos has been developing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
