Original Transformers G1 Packaging Art Painting up for Auction

It's kind of sad, but your childhood is up for sale. What could top Andrew Wildman selling off Marvel Transformers comic cover art? Jeffery Mangiat's actual artwork from the back of Generation 1 toy packaging, that's what.

This is no print or reproduction. It is the actual artwork created in gouache (paint) on cold press illustration board that was painted by the world renowned illustrator himself!
