    The OFFICIAL "This week in your ORIGINAL ART collection?"

    I really like X-men Whilce's pages.  What is their price range for his OA X-Men pages now adays? Like 15-20K for a choice Bishop DPS or SPS? And like 5K for a basic page with no heroes or villains, very uninteresting but a story page and a Whilce?  As I am building out my collection I want to get a sense of what is realistic and what is not and budget, etc.

    Thank you!

    I emailed again and he did respond and did mention he was in a car accident.  Looks like he is recovering and in the grand scheme of things I certainly wish him well which goes without saying.  He said I am in line and he will do his best to get to me ASAP.  I came back with a full list of items I would like to purchase from his website.  He almost immediately came back to verify that I am not just kicking the tires and will in fact commit to buying - which I confirmed.  While I was very frustrated, must say I would rather wait or never hear back than be in and out of hospitals - gotta keep perspective.  These guys are just people that often have life get in the way of life and not in a very good way.  Hope he fully recovers.

    Hi,

    I am new to the hobby.  Always was a fan from childhood but now can kinda afford some stuff I have always wanted.  Quick question about artistschoice.com.  I have gotten no response from spencerbck@aol.com.  There is a bunch of stuff I would like, but there is no way to purchase other than emailing spencerbck@aol.com.  But I don't hear back.  Is this a site built 20 years ago and simply out of commission? 

    Thank you!

    That's a great point and one I learned with Jim Lee.  I really wanted a few X-Men pages.  Found a few Superman/Unchained ones and thought, well, the X-Men gotta cost about the same.  Boy was I wrong!  More like tens of thousands IF you can find them, otherwise its waiting until one comes up for auction I guess.  So then when you pick the ones you like, could you also include what they are known for.  Like Jim Lee is X-Men and Batman.  Ryan Stegman is Venom/Carnage.  Bagley would be Spiderman.

    For the ones Twanj picked: Segovia, Kubert, Bachalo, Cassaday, Yu, Cheung, Rivera, Booth, Asrar.  Who are the top character/book representations of each of these artists?

    Hello everyone! I am new to the hobby.  I have collected comic books in the past, x-men, spiderman, batman, spawn, venom and carnage.  I recently realized that there is such thing as original art and am hooked.  I have yet to buy anything but have been looking and familiarizing with the lay of the land.  I first realized there is way more artists and art that I like than I could ever buy.  Moreover, I don't have a budget such that I can just buy stuff I think is cool with no regard for its price and future price as well.  The purists may say just buy what you like, but with art costing thousands and tens of thousands or more certainly once a collection is put together as the total value, it would be nice to have an expectation that the prices will at least hold up.
