Wow! The linework is excellent, thanks for posting those!

Nice! The sketchy drawing for the bottom of the dress is pretty incredible, she has a beautiful signature as well.....are you going to Pøst the others?

Yeah, I’m with you, it’s not like there’s an extra zero on everything

, yeah they seem to be doing fine, Herriman has been going steadily up as far as I can tell, no dramatic jumps really just slow rise.....Segar seems to be flat, but holding its value.

In regard to Kirby, all I can say is he pretty much came up with the entire Marvel ensemble

Nice! I’m glad Stan didn’t sign that first one right in the middle

I pretty much agree with everything you say here here, it's also poorly put together......what's with the soundtrack!? Also I know a couple people in the film and they are exactly the opposite of how they portray themselves....which is kind of funny. It's also funny that every individual seems to have the perspective that they are the ones doing the "right" way and everyone else is ruining art.

Haha!

“Flipping has long been a bit of a boogeyman for art dealers and many high-level collectors, as it can distort an artist’s market and disrupt the careful calibrations of pricing and placement that guide art career management. In a 2014 statement, however, Christie’s told the Timesthat, “The speculative art buyer, or ‘flipper,’ motivated purely by short-term investment potential, is the anomaly in our experience.” https://hyperallergic.com/412560/from-benefit-to-blockbuster-a-kerry-james-marshall-paintings-dramatic-flip/

I really haven’t settled it in my own head either, I have been on the losing end before (Much smaller potatoes) but enough to know that it sucks, and Im sure many others have been there. Anyway I don’t know the whole story in this situation so I’ll just leave it there.

I should add I personally don’t think I could go ahead with the flip without giving some of the proceeds back to seller when it’s a discrepancy that large, there’s a HUGE difference in sale price vs value, and the seller I would assume, was naive to that

Who knows why the seller did it this way, which is what made me, and probably others hesitant. To me it seems like he knew,or thought, that they were worth st least 25k, so why not start the auction at 25k and see if it increases, instead of a BIN......but he didn’t

I don’t think it was up long enough for many to see Yeah, it’s odd, but maybe someone just needed quick money....Heritage takes months to pay, or they don’t know about Heritage....it’s definitely odd

Yes I was very tempted but I didn’t have 25k, so there that, but I definitely thought about trying to get the money somehow.....and then it was gone. theres also the “ if the deal is too good” theory that always enters my head ....I get hesitant.

I have to admit, i'm always a bit happier when a fan gets deal than when someone just flip something.....but, definitely a good score

it was a BIN.....a little h2o damage doesn't make that much difference

I saw that lot on eBay, a steal before those results.....we will find out soon if these prices were a one off after a couple auctions.

if these guys would just not instantly jack things up due to one auction result i think they would do so much better!
