I used to own quite a few pieces of Adams' original art and followed the market quite closely. Maybe some of the other original art collectors can chime in however I think the averages for an inside page with moderate action are as follows:
Batman - $5000 (Bat 251 pages command signficantly more due to Neal inking Neal and the classic nature of the story, specifically the page 9 is for sale from a dealer at $8250)
Detective - $3500, Not as attractive to collectors as Neal's Batman work although personally I love the Man-Bat story-lines
Brave and Bold - $2500 for #79-83 $4000 for #84-86, Once again, not as attractive as either Batman or Detective to art collectors probably due to the fact that Neal's style on Batman (at least in issues #79-83) was a little more old school vs his more popular, darker look for Batman in the 1970's. As I've said before, I firmly believe the work Neal was doing on B&B #84-86 was spectacular with the first new GA team-up being a real stand-out. It was also the only other example of Neal inking Neal on a Batman title.
X-men - $who knows? An estimate might be $7500. Any pages from this run are incredibly tough to come across as collectors hoard whatever they have and any transactions, if they do occur, happen behind closed doors. I have seen a single page from #59 with moderate action sell for $10k. In my opinion, the best work of Neal's career.
Strange Adventures - $2500. Great stuff and good pages are often made available. Not as desirable most likely as few pages actually feature Deadman in costume.
Green Lantern/Green Arrow - $who knows? Similar to X-men pages, these GL/GA pages very rarely surface. An estimate might be $6500. The pencil-only pages featuring GA from a back-story in GL #87 are pure gold and are apparently incredible to see in person.
Avengers - $3500, Very rare to see any pages from #93 surface
Would you mind sharing which Adams pages you have JB? I would to see any scans. Thanks!
