A grand seems… aspirational. I’d only expect to see that price on that page in the flip of the day thread.

Don’t think the person is from heritage, but not sure. A friend asked me if I knew anything about it because it apparently happened close to me. Googled and this is what came up.

I don’t recall this being discussed here. Anybody know anything about this art theft? https://www.ha.com/information/partial-list-of-stolen-artwork.s

Another seller in the flipper hall of fame.

I’ve read it several times, thanks. I think the page before and after this one are way better. Different strokes, man. You think this is a culmination page, I think it’s a breather page.

I get the price justifications (as much as I can) but this 33K page is not one that sticks out to me for art OR story.

These all sold in the last month or two for under $10K . Taste is subjective, but I’m not seeing much to make this page worth 4-5x. So I’d agree with the 6-7

Today in “dealers” “influencing” the market, we have an excalibur cover that sold on CLink 3/2/21 for $2988. https://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FComicTrack%2FAuctions%2Fbids.asp%3Freturning%3D1%26pg%3D2&id=1461760 Now available for $5500. https://www.comicartfans.com/ForSaleDetails.asp?ArtId=6735003

Yeah, ‘influencer’ is a generous term for some of those guys.

For sure. Been meaning to pick up the Marvel cover ones for a while, so I just got both of those.

Just a heads up that a bunch of artists editions are on sale for comic con at home… https://sdcc.idwpublishing.com/?utm_source=CONSUMER&utm_campaign=0e017bf46e-COMICCONATHOME-2021-02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9953d39781-0e017bf46e-83383009&goal=0_9953d39781-0e017bf46e-83383009&mc_cid=0e017bf46e&mc_eid=0636aa1080

Saw this page posted the other day. Thought ‘deal makers gonna deal make’, laughed, and moved on.

You’re hired, and we’ll expect this now after every claim show. Or you can do a voiceover recap of the actual show, MST3 style. That would actually make DM palatable.

The thread about this topic…

Gotcha. Yeah the piece I was searching for might have been listed directly as hold/sold, so probably why I couldn’t find it. Thx

How do you see prices on stuff that’s sold? Tried on something last month and couldn’t figure it out

I think it’s generous to call what was shown today B or C level. B/C doesn’t bother me, because a lot of what I collect, I doubt a lot of people would consider A. I just don’t understand the idea of starting the show with Bechara walking the floor, showing all those covers and big ticket items… then offering what was offered. You’d think they’d want to hype at least some of the great art you’re supposedly missing out on at the LA art show.

One sale at the very end. Brutal. I don’t think this Dealmakers show is having the intended effect. Because what I got from this episode, is that if that’s the kind of art that’s representative of what’s at the LA art show, I never need to waste my time going.

Cover count?

I’ll watch if it’s gonna be streamed, but there’s very little that makes me want to go to LA. This is definitely not one of them.

I thought you were joking. How would one of these shows even work with Los Bros pricing!? It would not surprise me if it ended up having more views than any previous claim show, simply from people watching the spectacle.

Probably didn’t help you that he pumped out a lot of covers this year for Deadpool 30, and that a lot of them are still for sale with his rep.

In those situations, I just figure I can’t have everything. So if I wanted Saturday more, I’d just focus on that. If I didn’t get it, more money saved for the next piece down the road.

Not going to disagree. But I will acknowledge what I thought were improvements over the last show. -The timer was appreciated. I don’t want to spend all Sunday afternoon on the computer. Helped the rounds move a bit quicker. -Glens prices were not astronomical like last time. And I didn’t get deja vu like I normally do from the stuff he lists. I think there’s a happy medium to be had between boring and frenetic. At times on last weeks DD, it was like Bill was trying to herd cats. I don’t think it was hard to improve on the debut episode, but at least it’s moving in the right direction.
