  1. I'm going to guess that MakeMineMarvel on ebay holds the record. On several pieces.
  2. Glass looks much nicer. No glare. But I use plexi because I am in California.
  3. I assume that with this many pieces at once, there will be reserves. ☹️
  4. I was much happier with the 2nd season. The first season felt forced in a lot of ways. In season 2 dialogue and plot got better and it just became more entertaining. It is nothing like I would have imagined but the season left off on a great cliffhanger
  5. The season ending episode was pretty good. Some of the plot didn't make sensevery but still enjoyable. It hasn't gone to Game of Thrones level of absurdity. Hopefully, it gets renewed
  6. Yeah, I definitely liked this season more than last season. But I have a hard time believing these prices have much to do with the show. It just doesn't seem to be resonating. But then again, all you need is a few more interested parties to make prices jump.
  7. Still shocked at that SOK page... almost 9k. I was thinking that it could go to 5k but that was the kind of a high estimate on my part. Boy was I wrong. If you live in a state where they collect taxes, this would have cost closer to 10k. Stunning. Time to start reevaluating these prices. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/steve-dillon-preacher-3-story-page-17-saint-of-killers-and-cassidy-original-art-dc-vertigo-1995-/a/7166-92084.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 And this page on eBay was a little surprising. It is nice but I wouldn't quite call it "A" level. Looks like the market is starting to appreciate Preacher a bit more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Preacher-Original-Art-Comic-Board-10-2-Steve-Dillon-Garth-Ennis-Talalay9-/222633568701?hash=item33d5fea9bd:g:AkAAAOSwYZ9ZpLHf
  8. Definitely not the first time it happened between these two.
  9. Wow. Still some good stuff on eBay every once in a while
  10. Yeah. If you are on a computer, all you have to do is drag the pic to the little paperclip right below the text area and it uploads automatically. Or you can just click "choose files" and add that way
  11. Does anyone here know approximately how much it would cost to clean some pieces? I have a few lower end pieces I was thinking about having cleaned. Not sure if it is cost prohibitive...
  12. Transformers DPS is now on hold. Added this Planet Hulk page to the sale! http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1409588
  13. Pretty historic color guide. Superman Annual 11. Not pen and ink but it is still art and can be had at a fraction of the price of the hand drawn original http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1409536
  14. Another cool early Transformers piece. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1409535
  15. Tons of great photos! I got about halfway through I think. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
  16. I got caught up in all the hype this week and spent too much money at Loser Con. Time to pay off the old credit card. See my for sale gallery. http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=60599 I will add some more pieces throughout the day. I have a busy weekend but I will respond promptly.
  17. Marry her!!!! That way you always have a partner in crime
  18. I think it could surprise. Maybe not 5k but who knows? I am just really thankful that I was able to grab an SOK page off ebay earlier in the year. The ha.com page is much better but I also believe it will go for 2-3x the amount I paid http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1371577
  19. I would say most people would consider it an A-level page. Early page. Lots of detail. SOK. Cassidy. The only knock would be that there is no Jesse.
  20. i LOVE that page!!!!! SOK??? More like 5k
  21. Went for a surprising amount but it is a gem
  22. The problem with eBay is that there are so many fraudulent listings people sometimes doubt the validity. Plus, the other sites give you a couple of weeks of extra exposure. However, I have seen some pretty outstanding results from eBay. Theoretically, there are a lot more eyeballs on eBay listings than on other sites.
  23. If you are talking about art as just drawing, then a lot of comic art probably isn't great art. However, comic art is a lot more than that. It is bringing words and characters to life. I think Frank Miller was very average as far as "drawing" but he was a great artists when you put everything together. McFarlane could draw very well and added a dynamic effect to his art that was really unseen before. Both are great artists but for different reasons. With art, you have to take in the whole picture. Not just technical ability. That applies even to tradional art. Think of Van Gogh. There are a lot of artists with more technical ability but he struck a chord with collectors. Salvador Dali was a genius in terms of technical ability but he real artistic contribution was his experimentation. If you want a more modern example think of Banksy. Is his art technically earth shattering? Hardly. But he has struck a chord in modern culture and I am sure that history will view his contributions very favorably. Heck, the Mona Lisa might be the most famous and valuable piece of art in the world... Is it drawn exceptionally well? Not in my opinion. But its historical significance cannot be denied. I guess this is just a long winded way of saying art is not drawing. It does not have to be technically perfect to be considered high quality. Don't apologize for liking Elford. If it struck a chord with you and you appreciate it merits, that is awesome. I'm sure the artist would be thrilled to hear it.
