FWIW, I ordered some pages from David in November last year along with a commission and received them yesterday. Outstanding work. As @vodou said, he ships when he ships, but I doubt you have anything to worry about (if you haven't received them already).

It's an attempt to tease out more money -- if you check the Etherium exchange rates these pieces are now more expensive than they were when priced with the US dollar.
I can see the thinking. There are people who stumbled into some easy money with cryptocurrencies. If you bought in cheap (say, $100/coin) you can look at that Amazing Spider-Man cover as costing you $3,500. What a bargain! It's not that much different from trading a piece to a dealer to facilitate a purchase. You know it's being undervalued but if you bought in cheap and want the new piece badly enough it's easy to justify in your mind.
With crypto being so volatile you're trading some risk for a more stable asset. I think it's an interesting gamble. I'd love to see how things play out if the currency crashes after a customer makes payment but before the art is shipped. There are some dealers I would trust to send out the art and some I wouldn't.

Miss out on the Web of Spider-Man #8 cover? Scratch that itch with an interior page from the same issue! I promise it will be significantly less than the $30,000 the cover went for.
This ends tonight - thanks for your interest!

Sorry, my message was a little confusing. Comixology offers two services -- one is to purchase and download digital comics. You get to keep these and you can read them even when you're not online. They are in a restricted format so you are limited to reading them with the Comixology app.
There is also a service called Comixology Unlimited, which is what I meant when I wrote, "If you join Comixology..." This allows you to download and read selected comics (they are clearly marked with an "Unlimited" banner) as long as you're a member. It's $5.99/month and the first month is free. When your membership ends the CU comics you downloaded disappear but the ones you purchased do not. Bonus - while you are a member you also get a discount on purchases (15% for Marvel, though I think it differs by publisher).

If you're open to digital, Comixology is having a sale through July 15 on all of the Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Masterworks for $5.99 each. Unfortunately to get issue 100 you need the 11th volume, which reprints 100-109. If you join Comixology (first month free!) you'll get an additional 15% off the sale price for a total of $55.99 for all 11 books.

Lots of red flags here. As you noted, the difference in sizes of the characters. The signature doesn't look right (and is it signed 'Charlie' rather than 'Charles'?). The difference in line weight between the characters and the tree/grass is something I've never seen in a Schulz drawing before. The line work looks amateurish. I'm pretty sure it's a fake.

now...since it seems my opinions always get copied and pasted a lot here... (LOL) , should i even mention about the ASM 61 having about 40-50 things different on the art versus the published cover?
This ASM #61 cover/OA comparison might be useful if anyone wants to see what Mike is talking about. Scroll down until you find the slider bar and you can go back and forth between the published cover and the original art.

Are there any comic book stores in southern Vermont? I've been searching online for awhile and am coming up totally blank. Surely the good people of Vermont have somewhere to buy comics at?
Anyone have any suggestions, or know of a comic book store in southern Vermont?
When I was in school in the early 90s there was Country Dreamer and West Side Comics in Rutland. There was also a decent store in Middlebury... Comics Route, I think? Before that there was Moondance in Brattleboro. I used to drool over the full page ad they had on the inside front cover of Marvel comics around 1980 or so but I never made it to the shop. Sadly, all of these closed and nothing has sprung up to replace them. I think comic book collectors in Vermont have always relied heavily on mail order.
If you're looking for back issues you might pop over to Comic Boom in Keene, NH, about twenty minutes east of Brattleboro. Otherwise you could come down to western Massachusetts and visit Gary Dolgoff in Easthampton or Superworld Comics in central MA. You should call first though as neither of them are traditional comic book stores.

Huh. Did not realized they owned the X-Men 141 cover. Unless that's a repro - which I doubt, looking at the other stuff on those walls. I had heard Terry Austin had managed to hang on to a lot of those later, legendary X-Men covers.
It's not the original -- it's a recreation by John Byrne.

Bought a nice batch of mid- to low-grade Strange Tales to fill holes in my run. The books arrived quickly, were well-packed and looked exactly as described. Very happy with this purchase -- thanks!

Saw this at Bechara Maalouf's table yesterday:
Price is in the upper-left corner - $850.

Bought three Silver Age TtA in low grade. Grading was tight, prices were good, packing was solid and shipping was fast. Would not hesitate to buy from again!

I bought a bunch of Bronze Age books from Chris in July 2014. They arrived quickly and the packaging was second-to-none. Count me as a very happy customer and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again!

I purchased a large number of inexpensive books from Tyler. He carefully screened them to make sure they met the minimum condition I was looking for. He also packed them very securely, sent them in a timely manner and even threw in a few freebies.
It was a great transaction and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Mike sold me 51 books from my want list. The price was right, they arrived quickly and in tip-top shape. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

A bit of serendipity had two pages from the same issue of Daredevil auctioned within a couple weeks of each other. Since I consigned the one with Comiclink, I was very interested in seeing where the one at Heritage finished.
The two pages seem comparable to me - page 7 is a much better action page, but there's something to be said for the DD/Kingpin interaction on page 8.
As I was only auctioning the one page, there's no way I would get any sort of favorable terms at Heritage, and I assume it would have been dumped in a weekly auction. To match the net amount I received from Comiclink, it would have had to sell for $7,062.50 at Heritage. No way to know for sure, but I think that's unlikely.
I'm very happy to have consigned to Comiclink and think they have their place. That said, improvements are always welcome, and you never know when someone is going to sneak up on you (MyComicShop is poised to each their lunch if enough eyeballs shift to their auctions). It's much easier to maintain an audience than to try and win them back after they've left.
