I had remembered that piece switching hands a few times a few years back and was interested when it came up again at auction but decided I needed to be frugal. From what I can remember the price it sold for was only $25-50 more than it sold for last time.

Where are you seeing older comic art on Instagram? I know that it's big for modern/ well-known artists in the industry and their art reps but haven't seen much if at all for other stuff that many here would be interested in from an older time period.

It's become active from what I understand. I haven't really experienced it myself but from looking on Instagram, the comic side of things is doing well.

It could actually be a boon for those that live in no-taxed states. Less and weaker competition for them now.

How long are commissions on average? I've only had one and it was finished in around 3 weeks to a month?

Comix4fun's worst fears have been realized.

Have you experienced and seen younger collectors entering the market? I've seen a large amount of younger ones myself from sites like Twiter and Instagram but not sure if they seem to deal exclusively with modern art and artists and would have an interest in older art pieces. Either because they have no connection to it, too pricey for them, or because they wouldn't care about artists from the period that weren't famous now or did A ranked titles.

Anybody looking at the Star Wars and other action figures in the current Heritage auction?

300K for the "Hook" Movie poster. Poor nostalgia movie for me. I remember watching it on VHS a lot as a kid. The, "An American Tale" poster is another piece that would be a buy out of nostalgia for me. As others have mentioned they do seem to have an issue saying whether or not if these are all the published image. Not to mention that they don't seem to list a distinction between prelim drawings and the final image.

This isn't a new practice for dealers but bring up the interesting point where a lot of times "new" inventory that dealers will have is stuff people can recognize as recently being in an auction a few weeks or months back. You can even see a few pieces that were in the last Heritage auction up on their walls in the pics for SDCC that I recognize. Do they believe that they got a good deal on the piece with it selling under FMV? Or do they just believe that if they hold on to it long enough that the market will eventually catch up to their asking price, or hope that someone like the underbidder from the auction comes by and just has to have it? I could also see these pieces used as trade pieces where they argue them being worth more than what they sold for.

I noticed that. My method was to click on share and after picking the image option just send it to myself through one of the other apps on my phone. Text or email it to yourself for example. My choice is to use discord since I can just send it to my own server on there and download it on to my computer.

From my experience dealing with Comiclink they seem to round the sales tax. I'm also going by the local sales tax where they hold their auctions in these states. California 9.5% Hawaii 4% Illinois 6.25% Kentucky 6% Maine 5.5% Minnesota 6.875% Mississippi 7% New Jersey 7% New York 8.8% Ohio 5.7% Pennsylvania 6% Texas 8.25%

Has it been decided who owns the Dire Wraiths or are Marvel and Hasbro still in a legal battle over it? I don't really know how a ROM movie could be made without the characters and other things developed by Marvel since they are part of what made so many people like the series in the first place. It's also interesting to point out that for toy tie-in comic, that ROM was intertwined with the Marvel universe to a large extent.

My only Ditko example from ROM #75. It's weird, I've been said about creators passing before, but this one really hurt.

With James Gunn getting fired and the belief that this means no Guardians of the Galaxy 3, does this also extend to the hope of a ROM movie? A --script was being made for it it seems, but nothing new has been heard for months. Gunn did say before that he did show interest in doing the movie so it's hard to say how much of the effort for a ROM movie was pushed by him and if it dies with him after his firing. Cosmic Marvel as a whole should be fine though with Thanos, however.

Is this strictly a WWBN thread or also a general Moon Knight thread?

Works pretty well for me. The only issue I found is that you have to be conscious of the light when taking the picture. I had some issues when doing a DPS but my regular pages worked out well. Before shot After

As a New Jersey resident who had this introduced to us a few months back and also has the same issue with Clink, welcome to the club. On a serious note, yeah factor that in when you bid. If you have friends or family that live in a none taxed state that you trust, you can also have the pieces mailed to them to avoid the tax. This has always been a handicap for people in taxed States since we've had to bid above FMV of an art piece just to have a FMV bid on it at auction. This can be really painful once it starts to get to a few grand. Another thing you can consider is the spread the money pain out by working out a time payment with them before if you plan to spend an extra thousand which helps if you would have had the money if not for the extra tax.

There would be too many problems such as who would hold on to the art? Could one investor buyout another's share? When would people agree to sell? It reminds me of that guy who wanted to get investors to buy those Jim Lee trading cards from Moy so he would be able to keep one since he couldn't afford to buy them himself. People brought up the issue of how the cards would be distributed since some characters would be worth more than others.

This was a thing that some people tried to do a few years back. I think it was posted in comic general but can't seem to find it. The guy had two comics that people could buy a share of and you would be given, I think, "comic coins". It went as well as you would expect it to on the boards.

Poor, ROM. I can still hope for Moon Knight though!

Sounds like my type of scene.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the correction.

Artist, Kelly Jones was given them with Wrightson wanting him to finish his work when he knew he would be unable to himself. You can actually see them with Kelly in an early video upload by Ethan Van Sciver when his Youtube channel was still more comic based when he interviewed Kelly Jones for it. Even if you don't like him I recommend watching it. It's a pretty good video where KJ talks about a lot of how he got into comics, his start and how Marshal Rogers even gave him a small drawing lesson when he was a teenager at a convention. He shows the Frankenstein stuff at around 1 hour 30 minute mark.

I don't think it's for sale since they have it listed in the preview for their coming auction. They list the coloring done by Roy Richardson.
