Power Girl by Frank Cho

Well, this is one of those pieces I wasn't expecting to get, but I am so glad that I did.

Story Time:

I built Auctions on Nerd Crawler to help Big Wow! Art auction artwork to help with Maui fire fundraising. Things were still fairly new, but Frank Cho heard about it, liked the idea, and said he would be interested in auctioning a piece to help out so he listed this 15x17" Power Girl commission-quality piece.

During the auction, I shipped an update to make bidding better by adding a slide-to-bid option. I tested it out on the Power Girl auction, and it worked! I also figured since the bid was just a few bucks more than the previous bidder that the other bidder would come back, bid, and win the page.

The auction reaches the final 10 seconds, and there's no new bid. Then the auction ends and I'm the winning bidder!

I was stunned and had to tell my wife, "Hey...so I won the auction..." Thankfully, she wasn't too unhappy, and when we both saw it in person, we were floored at how amazing it is in person.

So, even though I wasn't planning on winning this piece, I'm so pumped to add it to my collection, and I hang it proudly on my office as a sign that maybe Nerd Crawler is going up from here!
