Top Love 14 sold elsewhere for $125. Other two books on ebay. This a chance for you to get three early romance books! The titles are teen-age romances #5 (Baker art), popular romance #25 (Toth art), and the great top love #14 (L. B. Cole cover). I have them at good plus, with the pop romance at VG. CLOSED Thanks. Send me any questions or comments!

I think I fixed it. David

FIXED LINK to the ebay auctions seller bakeralbright These are pieces I have tried to sell before, maybe you can take a look and make a bid at the reduced prices. Thanks for your consideration, David S. Albright Questions and comments always welcome in the thread, or send me a personal message! David

Right I can see his point there, it isn't about the money and he just wanted his privacy.

I have sold to Mandel, DocJoe, Burkey, Donnelley, the main thing is just set your price and don't worry about the aftermath, their networks are beyond me. I have always had smooth transactions with these big type dealer/collectors. Best, David

LINK TO WRATH ON CAF SOLD Thanks for checking this out! I just priced my Mike DeCarlo Wrath pinup with Batman cameo from April 1987 DC Who's Who. It is Wrath on DC Bristol (signed De Carlo) with the Batman cameo on vellum overlay. All is original art. $200. US only, buyer to pay shipping. I take check, money order, or Paypal. Copy of the comic book is included! Questions or comments are welcome in thread, or send me a personal message. Best, David S. Albright

Don't mess with HULK $15K cover Keown Rubinstein. David HA Hulk Cover Link

Link to the Severin Comedy page I just have this John Severin page featuring Red Skelton, Jerry Lewis, Woody Allen, Joey Bishop, Johnny Carson, and Buddy Hackett from Cracked #77. David

Yes, exactly right, sorry, I should have explained that. Apparently, the way the book was designed required the artist to create the background image on the separate overlay, which is, indeed, original art. It makes it difficult to display, and I keep it because I like the Batman figure. I had to deconstruct my amateur "mock-up". If I had an 11 X 17 scanner it would be a fun project to create a complete composite print. David

Very interesting, thanks for pointing out the ebay listing. I had followed the HA auction. Kind of a shame to break up the matching pair, both are nice pieces. Seller has many other nice pieces on ebay. And a website ... berserkerart.com I'll be watching the ebay listing (just for fun). David

Other than the bad spelling, it seems like a nice example, maybe a little rich at that price point, but you are not likely to find a better Greene (born Green) political piece any time soon, if that is your attraction. He is better known for his comic strip art like Bringing Up Father, and others. He was a career cartoonist. David

Great page, good luck with the sale, love Aparo Batman. David

Link to Huge Buffalo Bill Original Comic Strip Art on ebay Here is a great piece of old comic strip art I just listed on ebay for Buffalo Bill by Fred Meagher with the last panel of Bluebird. It is auction format, the first bid could win. Starting at $150. The large size is overall about 22.5 X 8". May 3, 1955, United Features Syndicate. This is the original art for....one day. Check the ebay listing for more pics. You can really zoom in on these pics. Best, David

Here are a couple better pics of my Wrath with Batman overlay, signed Mike DeCarlo.

Your confusion is warranted. This is a two-piece production art and I did a lame mockup. I will try to get better pics. David

Jaime Diaz studio (Brazil) shameful plug. David

I have a Who's Who Wrath that is pretty cool with a Batman cameo. Will try for a pic. Hang on. LINK TO CAF WRATH ILLO

LINK TO THE CAF LISTING Closed, thanks for looking. This was part of a lot of art I won at an auction, in Charlotte, Vermont, many years ago. This is my last Adams strip, there were a couple others. The woman who consigned this art was married to Les Snow, a military friend of Jerry Caplin (brother of Al Capp). She exhibited the art in the local library, and eventually I got it at auction. Thanks for checking this out, David S.Albright

The message is for people just starting out, take a deep breath and do some research before you take a plunge on original comic art, or animation art. It is all cool, and maybe you will like an entry level piece more than you expect, and begin your journey from there. For today, David

Google translate "the most delicious".

It does seem like a nice opportunity for a collector who would like to downsize their stash and concentrate on single, top shelf pieces for whatever reason. Or a nouveau riche with fondness for everything this cover represents. The cover has enough crossover collectibility to be considered blue chip for a variety of collectors, including investors in fine art, even (perhaps). Spoken from someone who is downsizing, but not even close to being a player on this piece, so please don't take offense from my peanut gallery remarks. David

Agreed, without handling the actual piece, it is not possible to fine tune an opinion about the trade dress. Mounting would have been done later? Since HA has given a heads up, the bidders should check it out in person, if possible. Amazing historic piece. Just thinking, David

Re: the Frazetta cover art... "The board has been affixed to a larger illustration board with a recreation of the header/logo added to the top." While it is just a sidebar in the description, and this is a unique classic example, here is a case of restoration which will be interesting to follow. David

I'm sure you have considered how much of the board to crop with the mat. I like to see more of the border, just my personal taste. Nice looking Peanuts! David

Interesting that any buyer cares about how much the consignor nets in a sale. I actually have a long story from the buyer's point of view I will share to follow when I have time to edit this post, and is another example to look at. ...I had left a bid on a lot of Al Capp originals, and some background ephemera, at a local auction which I was unable to attend since I was working that Saturday morning. (CONT'D)) So, I had left a bid of $800, on my lunch break, with the auctioneer, and I won at $500. Since I was not at the auction, I will never know if that was a bid he pulled out of the air, but I didn't (and still don't) care. As I was picking up my lot after the end of the auction, I scraped up a worn piece of paper from the floor which described most of the contents of the lot which the consignor had previously attempted to sell through Jerry Weist @ Sotheby's?, anyway it had her contact info. (CONT"D) I actually contacted this woman to see if she had additional material I might be interested in, and she gave me some wonderful back story about the lot (another whole story), and, by the way, indicated she was having trouble getting paid by the auctioneer. So, I contacted the auctioneer, and told him that I was aware of the $500 hammer, and hoped there was no further delay in the woman getting her share, which she finally did, and we even had a later deal (not comic related) based on our good faith that was by then established. End of this story, and hopefully not too dragged out to be boring. Best wishes, David David
