    Comunication problem with Cadence Comic Art

    I have had great responses from Paulo, Andrew, and Corey. If anyone is waiting on art that is paid for, feel free to reach out to me for their emails.  They have been very responsive in my experience (with the occasional necessary nudge).

    Andrew replied to me once in December and copied Paulo, but that was it.  Since then, no reply over a matter that could have easily been explained.  I ended up reaching out to the artist of the cover I purchased since I had commissioned him in the past.  Turns out he was supposed to pass the cover on to Paulo with some other art at a show, but mistakenly didn't include it in the artwork he passed on.  He apologized to me and will be sending it out this week.  IF Paulo, Andrew or Corey had just shared this with me, there would be no worries.  Why it's so difficult to communicate for some reps is beyond me.

    Thanks to Josh for starting this thread. I am at a loss of what to bring, for trade, since I sm open to trading a huge portion of the pieces in my gallery, for the right published pages:

    - Incredible Hulk #227 pages by Buscema and Janson

    - Batman vs Incredible Hulk pages by Garcia-Lopez

    - good Amazing Spider-Man actions pages, especially interested in Andru, though Byrne and early Sal Buscema are possibilities too

    Link to my gallery is:

    Good luck, Fred!

    Found when I started back in 2016 and I think it still applies today, that a rep is much better to work with than a dealer. The rep needs to clear volume and for the artist, for many, the number of pages just keeps on coming, so sitting on them and waiting for them to double in 2 years is not a big thing. Also found the artists to be very reasonable compared with many collectors/speculators etc. Back in 2016 I picked up a  stack from Spencer that Porter had been sitting on from early 2000s but could use the cashflow after injuring his thumb very badly. Spencer also repped Finch so grabbed a few of those and Booth was doing some awesome Flash work and he repped him as well. So for pages yet to be listed I simply asked the prices, and eventually Booth dug them out (was not too long, but when you are chasing, it seems for ever).

    Same for Anabel Kirby, when Rafa Sandoval was working Flash, picked up two complete books, that were never offered to the public. Actually only two covers and one double splash was ever offered, that I grabbed. The rest were offered to me before the market. Kept cashflow moving for the artist and rep, happy client, happy rep and happy artist.

    And of course some artists have sat on stuff, and you can buy direct.

    When buying at auction, there is a false feeling, that you are buying at the market price. It is an illusion. Nothing beats knowing past sales and importance of content. Auction can be great, but not always.

     

     

    I'm not so sure anymore.  I agree that it used to be that way, but these days, rep or dealer, prices have gotten so high that customer service has gone out the window and the majority of them take the attitude that you'll get it when I get around to it, no matter how much you are spending.

    Anyone else heading over to Orlando for OAX on January 26-28th? Bringing pages to trade?  Post them here, along with what you may be looking for.

    I'll be there and will be bringing several pages for potential trades (or sales).  If anyone is interested, here is the link to what I'll have on my CAF gallery:
