I'm wondering if such pieces ever were sent to PedigreeComics or if they all still are at Coollinesartwork. The scan looks identical on both websites. When buying from HA or CLink I think they always had the pieces in their hands, so they're able to check and investige the pieces if necessary.
If most of the pieces are still at the consignors, then PedigreeComics can do little to evaluate the pieces before the auction is over. I've always thought that the good thing about HA or CLink was that their art experts provided some security if there's something odd about a piece.
If you're sure Ron Lim didn't draw anything on this piece, then to me there's a serious error in the listing on Pedigreecomics - it directly states that Ron Lim is the primary artist of this particular piece.
On a side note over the years I've bought a few books from Doug, never had any trouble and I didn't pay more than usual compared to GPA prices - and Doug was very helpful.
Did I miss in the description where it says it's ink over blue line? I'd expect a reputable auction house to specifically call that out.....
it was in the description on Comic Link when it went for $1200 (which was why it went for that).
since then the price tripled & that got left off subsequent descriptions
Well it sold for $5,150.
If CLink was wrong about it being inks only, then both buyers got a steal.
If, however, the CLink description was accurate.....
