I know, right? Especially 158... Mine would be 169, (158), 181, 171, 182, and 179.

Not sure, but can't wait to see the picture of it since it's one of the massive multimedia pieces he did. Nostalgic for me because it was the first issue of the series I bought, but didn't read it until I had the first five issues... which took a hell of a long time. 😁

Easy one. Hope everyone is well.

Pretty simple / modest goals for me. Another McKean commission if I am fortunate enough to land on the list again. Decide on artist(s) to work with for Sandman commissions of the Endless. Try to find and land a nice published Sandman page. Extra points if it's from the sequence I'd love to complete. Good luck to everyone on making their goals in 2020.

Thanks for posting the pics. Some great stuff. Cool to see the Sandman 1 pages at Albert's booth. Thanks again.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any. I did see a few people taking pictures, but I don't think any of them were boardies. It was a lot of fun though. Looking forward to the next time we have one. Thanks again for hosting, Mr Bedrock.

Yeah, was very lucky to land what I have in my collection back in the day. Definitely was a challenge to find them back then like they are now. Pages that I used to own - The death of the Corinthian page from Doll's house, a great all Death and Dream page from Seasons issue 21, pg 23 "I am not doing well at all", and a Brief Lives page that had Dream in one panel. The Dringenberg Dee page was one of the first pages I bought in 1992, along with the Doll's House page. The game show pages from issue 4 are my grails - got them when I was helping out at a booth at SDCC in the 90s. Guy came by the booth and haf art he wanted to trade for comics. Pulls them out, I freak out internally, the dealer knew I was searching for them, and the deal was made, and then I worked out the deal for the pages. The Dee pages from 5 were through Albert's website in the late 90s. I have thought about trying to complete the sequence for those, but that'll probably not happen. I remember seeing the Dee killing the woman page before, and know who has the last page of the book. The Jones page was another mid 90s purchase. The Wake pages were from the late 90s - Scott Eder put out a ton of them on his website, and I think I grabbed the only Daniel page that was posted at the time. Regarding FMV - it's really difficult to say, since the sample size is so small between what little has shown up on dealer sites and for auction. I was a little surprised with the 9k ask for the page from issue 1 that was mentioned, but I think the scarcity factor is definitely a part of that. Love what everyone has shared so far. Hopefully more will come out of the woodwork.

Couple more things. The McKean commissions were inspired by the page where Dream would go to the room with the family member sigils.

A little late to the party...

Will be there. Looking forward to it.

I would think out of towners would be more available on weekends. Being local I'd be good with either.

Always a great time. I'll circle the date once it's announced. Thanks!

Wasn't able to attend this year unfortunately, but it didn't stop me from being able to complete a collecting goal of getting Dave McKean to do portraits of the Endless. Despair was the last one I needed and had him revisit Delerium as well. Couldn't be happier with the results. Hopefully will be back in 2020 if I can land a pass. Thanks to everyone who posted updates.

Wasn't able to personally attend this year due to some unexpected things coming up at the zero hour, but was able to get this arranged, picked up, and brought home. Hope to be back out there next year, and also be able to get Despair to complete my set of Endless. So, I'd still consider it a win, but I still miss hanging out and chatting with other collectors..

Pretty easy goals for me this year: 1. Hopefully be able to complete my set of Sandman commissions by Dave McKean. 2. Continue to look for the other "game show" pages from Sandman 4. Anything else is icing on the cake.

Same. I already have my personal grail. Sure, there's a lot of other things that appeal to me, but I wouldn't give up my collection for it. However, if I could get the complete game show sequence from Sandman 4 while being able to keep the 2 pages from it I already have...then, done. No brainer.

I'll definitely be attending. Looking forward to it. Should also be dragging Tom Coker along as well. CAF link in my signature.

Purchased back in 1991.

For me: Sandman issue 4, page 16 Sandman issue 4, page 17 Sandman issue 4, page 18 Again, not the end of the world if I don't ever acquire them. Would just love to see them in black and white, have a chance to complete a sequence, and have confirmation that Kieth didn't destroy them in one of his art burning sessions.

Amazing stuff. Get the whole book? Later. -Will

Mail man decided to deliver this today. Finally have a very nice Jay Anacleto example: I'm BEYOND excited at getting this cover. Later. -Will

Was all excited about scanning today, and my scanner decided to die. BUT, I went ahead and broke out the digital camera and took some pictures and uploaded some new stuff that I have had on my CAF. For those who might be curious: Jill Thompson / Vince Locke page from Sandman 43 (Brief Lives) Fastner and Larson - Demon Baby piece Sam Kieth - Wolverine action page from Marvel Comics Presents #117 Eddie Campbell - From Hell issue #9 Ron Lim - pages from Silver Surfer #45 and #50 Double page Silver Surfer splash from Devil's Reign #1/2 Jim Starlin - page from Silver Surfer Resurrection #4 X-Men Alternativerse TPB cover http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryNew.asp?GCat=4918 Enjoy! Later. -Will

Finally got around to taking some digital pictures of some of the framed artwork that I have and put it up on my CAF for anyone that might be interested in the following: 1. Mike Dringenberg - Sandman and Death multimedia watercolor painting from 1992 2. Joe Linsner - Dawn commission from 1994 3. Joe Phillips - Sandman and Death acrylic painting 4. Scott Clark and Sal Regla - Spawn / Wildcats double pager from issue #1 Here is the link: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryNew.asp?GCat=4918 Couldn't get a good picture of the big unpublished Michael Zulli Sweeny Todd paiting that I have, but will hopefully try again soon and get around to scanning the rest of the stuff I have. Overall, I think the pics turned out well considering they are framed. Enjoy and thanks for looking! -Will

Not sure about anyone else, but those are quite my taste....especially the McKean. WOW. Major congrats on both of those. Later. -Will
