No sympathy for the oligarch. He paid an asking price he was happy with at the time and also flipped that questionable davinci for a 300mm profit. Cry me an f’ing river. 
 

Don’t get me wrong, everyone else involved sucks too. Just not quite as much. 

I'm just over here quietly hoping we finally see a decent Fabry Preacher cover in this auction

Love that Bionic Commando piece! To me that's one of the more memorable NES boxes

Shep or...?

Yep, a large canvas from the Deitch show and a retired stencil collage (30x30" - stencil used to make a print included in The Doors vinyl box set):

Those are both great calls.  Totally forgot about that AIBO dog.

I have an 8 year old and wonder what his generation will collect later.  He's really into multiplayer online games like Fortnight and Minecraft and would rather have the virtual items in-game than any associated physical merchandise. I'm not sure what will remain when those games inevitably go offline.

The irony to the title of this topic is that collectibles in the old says like baseball cards and comics were worth a lot precisely because they weren't stored away, but were tossed away as disposable.  Now everybody keeps everything and not only that, they hermetically seal them, and create a faux scarcity of current items via things like CGC.

 

I think we all realize that. Most collectibles follow a similar lifecycle. OP is asking for the next thing to hoard to be ahead of the curve.

Shepard Fairey s/n screen prints in dead mint under $300/ea. That ship has somewhat sailed already as five years ago I would have written "under $150".

The great thing about Shep prints is that there's always a new one to buy next week if you miss out on one. The guy is a machine

The ones with the most upside are already over a grand IMO (early works, which are almost impossible to find in nice shape and key images from the later periods).

I cashed in all Obey prints about 10 years ago and used that money to fund a couple grade A originals.

I've always thought that every Peanuts character pretty much has the same face/profile.  Charles Schulz essentially used different hair and clothes to distinguish their looks.  Heresy??

Agreed. It's especially noticeable because of his otherwise hyper-realistic style.

Has it been "cancelled," or has Kirkman just decided to end the series? I can't believe its sales are down so much that it would be cancelled.

Kirkman is ending it.  Sales are still fine.

I don't think this will work on the screen and I really don't think Netflix is the right choice to produce it.  I'd describe their best shows as superficial - competently produced and well acted, but lacking the depth of HBO's best. Their worst shows are just unwatchable.

Hopefully they prove me wrong.

Watch it reboot in October with Fear the Walking Dead #1 by a new creative team

How times have changed.

And so quickly, too. That was only, what...16 years ago?

Well, if it is new/newish money it will most likely make it to CAF. No trophy hunter will want to keep it hidden.

 

At these prices I may join the one(+X) and done crowd myself.  

More like one(+ x² ) in your case

My bad - I misread that post as the final results.

Hi guys... could you help me with this preacher page?

How much is it worth? 2k $?

 

I'd say $1200 ballpark based on recent results. 

I'd rank it a bit below this page NSN discussed back in September:

PREACHER 10 Page 02 - $1300 Jesse, Tulip, Gran'ma, Jody and young Jesse on a page from the arc that seems to be everyone's favorite.  

Preacher pages are down a bit since the show hype has faded.

either Lee Bermejo is a bad artist or it was written into the ---script by Brian Azzarello

This is one of the silliest things I've ever read on this board. Pretty much every comic artist ever (and yes, I realize this is hyperbole) has pushed gratuitous T&A to sell books to the fanboys, but you're a "bad artist" if you slip a dong in there. C'mon.

There's also going to be a lot of color variation between copies of the original book due to age and condition issues. You're probably better off looking for a reprint or just going off of the pic you posted. Otherwise, I think the only way to be sure you're looking at the original color as it was printed is to turn up a high grade (likely pedigree) copy of the book, which seems unlikely at best.

Early page

Decent dialogue

Jesse and Tulip

Boring scene

I'd still BIN it at $1K tho

What did you get back in trade from Frank? You can't leave us hanging like that

I just saw this and sent a join request. I don't have any game artwork, but I love looking at it!

I spilled coffee on a Preacher page.  It cleaned up pretty well but the stain always annoyed me so I sold it. Still ended up getting full market value, so I guess it didn't bother the buyer.

Woah! East of West show rumors?!? I seriously need to pop in here more often.

I never thought this book would be adaptable, but I'm glad they're giving it a shot.

If I were an inker, I'd be very insulted by this comment.  It's the old "inkers are tracers" line.  I suspect you may not realize what good inking is really about.

Woah...do you realize that the post you replied to is going on 12 years old? Impressive.

East of West #36 wraparound cover

Coolest EoW cover since issue #16 variants. Based on recent comments, I may be the last guy reading this....other than Solar

Just popped back in for the first time in a few months and see that I got a shout out

Still reading and loving EoW - it's the best book out there right now IMO

I really liked the page as well and thought it would hit $8K at a minimum, and maybe even $10-12K.  $7.2K was very well bought by the winner (not me, though, I did seriously consider going after it!)

I considered bidding, but then totally forgot comicconnect had an auction ending last night

It's not the most memorable page, but it is a nice self-contained scene with a great shot of V in the last panel.
