What a great commission! Huge congrats!

Hi all! I have two pages on eBay right now: Preacher 6, page 5 (Steve Dillon) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Art-Preacher-6-Page-5-by-Steve-Dillon/123163935891?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Excalibur 16, page 7 (Alan Davis) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Art-Excalibur-16-Page-7-by-Alan-Davis-and-Paul-Neary/123163947337?hash=item1cad24b149:g:RkAAAOSwwwRbD7tS Thanks for looking!

I don't think that's correct. Here is what Heritage told me in an email this week: "This is a HAGI sale in Texas. Sales tax is applicable if the property is delivered to Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois or California; otherwise, no sales tax is due." My read of this is that a buyer in LA would pay CA sales tax.

Why 21% tax? Heritage told me that the art would be shipped from the Netherlands, so would this not be tax free in your case (assuming you’re in Belgium, but might be completely wrong)? I have to say the whole auction is confusing to me. It’s called European comic art signature auction, but it includes non European art, the bids are in USD, the actual auction takes place in Texas and the art is in Europe? It’s really all over the place!

Apologies if this has been discussed already, but is it possible that there are a lot of Donnelly covers in this auction? A lot of the lower tier covers seem to have "modern stats". No biggie, just curious.

Thanks!

I don't recall ever seeing so many great pieces in one auction. Is this the peak we've all been waiting for? The last hurrah? Especially with the recent developments in the stock markets I can't imagine that this enormous supply will be easy to absorb.

Hi all! I listed a nice Action Comics page by Kerry Gammill on eBay: Action Comics 657 Page 15 on eBay Thanks for looking! ***

Hi all! I listed a nice, early page from Fables on eBay: FABLES 13 Page 11 on eBay The art is by Lan Medina and Craig Hamilton and the page features Briar Rose, Bigby Wolf, Flycatcher and Prince Charming. Thanks for looking! ***

Thanks guys! The hinging tape looks interesting, I'll give it a try. @Infamouspure22: Here is a (bad) pic of the full cover :

One of my covers has a small tear. It doesn't affect the art, so no need to give it to a professional, but I would like to put some tape over it to avoid it getting bigger. I'm looking for tape that is easy to remove and doesn't damage the paper, but still does the job. Do you have any suggestions? I think I heard the term "masking tape" before, but I might be making this up. Thanks!

Thanks to everybody who responded, really appreciate your thoughts!

I'm trying to figure out the value of a page and wanted to ask you for your thoughts. The page is from Thor 136 (page 14) and is penciled by Kirby and inked by Colletta. I think I know what the current market rate for a page like this would be as there is plenty of data. But I'm trying to understand if the "first appearance" of Dr. Kincaid in this issue and on this page would have any (positive ) influence on the price. Would the page deserve a premium for Dr. Kincaid's introduction? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Thanks everybody, really fantastic suggestions!

Comic Art in NYC I will be in New York next weekend and was wondering if there are any comic art dealers/galleries I could check out. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Wanted to share my first framed artwork. Usually all the art I collect is in binders and I rarely see it so I wanted to give framing a try. The page is from Adventures of Superman 457 by Jurgens and Templeton. I chose this one for a first try because I thought Templeton's inks would display well. I'm really happy with the result and will definitely free more of the artwork from their binders :-).

Thanks! And, what a shame!

Alex Maleev daredevil covers I noticed that there are no Alex Maleev daredevil covers on CAF (nor many other Maleev covers for that matter). Did Alex keep them or are they just locked away somewhere?

Hi Steve, I'll take it. . I'll send you a PM to discuss the details. Matt

I'm selling all 12 Watchmen issues and New Mutants 87 on eBay: CGCs eBay Thanks!

Sorry to hear this happened and thanks for the heads-up.
