    Are OA prices out of control?

     I hope “your” artists see these comments and what kind of person you really are. They would make just as much from their amazing artistic talents, having someone else drive their art to the post office. 
     

    Worst comments I have ever seen from any “professional”.

    It doesn't bother me that you're a gambler. Gamblers are nothing new in this hobby. They'll always be around. What I don't like is that you're two-faced. You'll have your fun bashing me privately, but then come smiling to me in person, pretending to be my friend. I can't respect that. I much prefer this now, when there's no more pretense.

    This latest post about the Heroes auction, though, follows that tired passive-aggressive style. Just say what you want to say.

    As for "shady business tactics"...you won't deal with me, but you were a big fan of Cadence? HAHAHAHA!!!

    This is a recent post you made:

    You object to the gambler characterization, yet these are your own words. You're talking about stock picking/odds-making (i.e. future potential) more than anything having to do with collecting/appreciating comic art. Which again, is nothing new. Just about every collector I know has at one time or another succumbed to that temptation, to some degree. It's a lesson we've all learned (what I was referring to in our phone conversation that you asked for, which not surprisingly you have completely misrepresented to suit your narrative). The difference here, though, is that you're promoting this gambling to new collectors. While dealing in first appearance art. This sort of "help" is nothing new, either.

    I know you can afford any of the art I've sold. That's not the issue. The issue is that everything is great, until the asking price is no longer worth the bet. Then the gamblers get salty. It's not that you can't afford the art, it's that you can't afford the bet. I've sold a first appearance for as much as $40K. I'll be the first to say that was a crazy price. I don't blame you or anyone for not buying it or even objecting to the price tag. But let's be honest, if it was $400 instead of $40000, you would have taken a flyer.

    We don't like each other. To you, I'm a crook. To me, you're someone I find disingenuous in their motivations for collecting art. Actually, pretty much disingenuous in everything I've seen. Everyone else can decide for themselves.

    This post is gross and full of lies. Both from any professional standpoint, or even a good human standpoint.

    Sad and gross.
