Frazetta's good but his stuff is not at all rare enough to command such prices. An art sales anomaly. Although, it can be said that art is worth exactly what someone will pay for it !!

Art prices are not defined by rarity, but by the dreams and desires people associate with the art.

They will be rare now since he passed away a few months ago. Dead artists works always fetch higher prices.
