  1. epic!!!! we may hit defcon1 before expected!

     

    and yea Raph, the thread definitely did explode in the last two days, awesome stuff guys!

    yesterday before i posted the thread had 600 less views! its a win for spider-men everywhere!

     

    id really love to get Mark Brooks, ive tried emailing but i keep getting the busy response :(

     

    Mark STAYS busy, even at conventions it seems. He knocks out awesome convention sketches but just a handful each time. I need to move him up the list to see if I can get on his sketch list in time to actually get something from him sometime....

  2. I don't blame them a bit then. Still, it looks like with the exposure they get off of ebay currently they could get more out of the items on their own without having to pay the auction house fees or the art broker commissions which will be more than ebay's fees more often than not. Plus, some of those auction houses will list it on ebay anyway for more exposure.

  3. is there any concensious as to the rarest? not graded, just overall hardest to find

    One of my personal grails. Only 50 of these were made for Dragon-Con 1999. Collaboration between William Stout and Dave Stevens.

    There are also the Bettie Page trading cards by Topps that were never published.

     

    Any personal sketches or OA trumps almost anything. IMHO :)

     

    I could kick myself for not getting one of those. I was there that year.

  4. If the estate has any original art remaining they sure are taking their time dispersing it. I've seen stuff from when he was taking classes doing oil paintings come from the estate, but I have yet to see an OA page of any sort come from them on ebay. If I were a betting man I would say they probably went to an auction house OR they want to only sell a certain amount each year in order to maintain the estate. Hard to say really unless the caretaker of the estate just lets us know.
