Congratulations on bringing home such an important piece of art for you. I am sure you will think of your brother every time you look at it.

I have gone through several stages here. I am shrinking my collection so my ideas on organizing have been changing. Almost every piece of art I have is in mylar and then the mylars are inside Itoya portfolios except strip art and really large pieces. So my 11 x 17 art is all in 12 x 18 mylars and they are all stored inside 13 x 19 Itoyas...nice fit. I have mylars made to fit inside the 18 x 24 and 17 x 22 itoyas too. The strip art I store in mylar bags that I have had custom made and stack them flat. The larger art goes into large flat file storage cabinet drawers and I try to have those in mylar too. I have the drawers organized by strip art, large art, giant art, complete stories, illustration art, prints and archival materials. I usually sort by artist but I have a best of Itoya where anything goes and that way I can see my favorites all at the same time. It is also the the portfolio I bring when visiting other collectors for show and tell. I have a lot of art that would bore most other collectors so I spare them that... I then have Itoyas for specific artists I collect deeply. I do have a few character specific portfolios too like prints of Milton Caniff (3 itoyas), Dragon Lady commissions (3 itoyas), Daredevil (down to one itoya now), archie, flash gordon, other commission themes. I have artist specific Itoyas but as my collection shrinks, I might have more than one artist in a portfolio. I also sort by themes/genres so there is an indie art portfolio, illustration art portfolio, jungle girl and fiction house portfolios. I have had 2 portfolios of covers and splashes but most of those have been reorganized or moved on to other collections. A lot of what I have been doing is going through and deciding how badly I need to hang on to stuff. At its peak, my collection was over 5000 pages. I am closer to 3000 now with a goal of 1000 plus extra art from about a dozen artists I'll collect more deeply. Ideally, a smaller, more refined collection with better pieces will be more enjoyable and a better use of my time/money. That is the plan anyways.

hey, That is me! sorry if i missed an email inquiry, i check my emails at least daily so somehow missed it. i'll go through my spam mail shortly to see if it fell in there. my site is usually up to date in terms of what i have sold or not sold but there are pieces i missed taking off in the past and i don't realize they are still there until asked about them again. since caf was set up, the need for a website has declined. i still keep it because interesting things still come my way because of it. sorry for any delay. jeff

there are two issues here. one about the ethics of doing this. the second and bigger issue i think is if it is done is disclosure. i think restoration like cleaning, de-acidifying, removing damaging glue stains, cleaning up stats are for the benefit of the art without adding new elements to it. once pen/ink touches that board or other new material is added, you are into another thing entirely and one i do not personally agree with(with the exception of replacement of missing stats). there is a long history of fine art repair with paintings being cleaned and touched up so this not new and i don't think it is new in our field either other than now it is becoming more common because some of the art has been around long enough that there are aging issues and we are now looking at more pieces that can use some help. for me, i get that getting the original artist to re-ink there work is one way to get things done and would keep the original attribution but as mentioned previously their styles might have changed enough to change the piece(think of neal adams when he re-inked his batman many years later). i agree, a professional restoration expert might produce a more accurate job on the piece than the original artist. in the end, both are re-inked and this is where the second part comes into play, disclosure. how the market values re-inked by original artist vs. accurate re-inking by a professional restorer remains to be tested but personally i'd take the more accurate image over the attribution although i am likely to pass on both. like comic book restoration, disclosure is important. i am sure there are art experts (just like there are comic book experts) who can spot restorations most of the time but for many of us, it might not be possible to make that distinction. whether we agree with restoration or not, it is part of our hobby now and we need to get used to it. i think if a dealer is doing this or knows about this with the piece they are selling, their credibility is on the line if the disclosure is not there. i have had a half dozen pieces restored over the years. in one case a piece of the painting was missing and replaced with some new material. that area had a white base layer of paint over it and this was matched on the new piece. if i were to ever sell this piece, full disclosure would accompany it. who knows what subsequent owners and sellers would disclose but i think it would be their duty to do so. so how do you protect the knowledge so disclosure follows a piece?

from humble beginnings.... when you start where i started, there is no where but up.

Can anyone send links to the Marvel original art inventory list circa 1980 and the return lists for the Kirbys. I have seen them before but can't find the reference now. jeff

I have not posted in some time on this board but wanted to chime in. I don't think Bill needs to defend what he did or why he did it. CAF has built a great original art collecting community and promoted the hobby in ways I could never have foreseen. I have been a premium member since the beginning. Even if I never used a single premium member service I would gladly send CAF money every year. I support the market data for the same reason. I use it a few times a year and really don't need it but another opportunity to support CAF. The hours of enjoyment I get from the site and friends I have made there are priceless. I have done many deals there as a buyer, seller and trader. I don't think anyone in this hobby can dispute the importance of CAF and its contribution. I honestly don't understand people who spend 4 and 5 figures on art not putting down the ante for a CAF premium membership but they must have their reasons. CAF has clear rules and understandings about what services it provides and what it is not responsible for. As far as the whole deal with Ankur. I am sorry you got screwed. I hope it works out for you and you get your money back. As someone who has been cheated, ripped off and lied to many times, I know what it feels like. I also know there are so many other great interactions and experiences that make up for the bad ones. The comic art community is generally very helpful, friendly and supportive although within every group there are outliers. My advice, when the problem is resolved contact Bill and I would think he would open up your gallery again as he doesn't seem to be the kind of person to hold a grudge. Learn from what happened as hopefully we all have and move on.

hi, not officially a dealer but it do sell some stuff. http://www.art4comics.com/home.htm more than 2000 pieces in my collection. jeff singh p.s. hopefully i'll have an updated site soon.
