I like this better than the last BWS NM cover that went up a few years back. Curious if this will stay in a collection, or be offered up at SDCC for double like the last one. 

If it is the page in the deleted link... pass. Great artist, but don’t see the appeal at that price. 

Just got the Cockrum Artifact in the mail today. I don’t get a ton of these, but might have to start. Love it.

If you're looking for ball-park figures, you might want to consider inviting opinions from members of several of the FB groups specializing in OA.

I don’t disagree, but I find Facebook a little predatory in their estimates. Whenever I see somebody inquire about pricing, it’s usually tons of lowballs followed by ‘pm sent’.

Well, it looks like Los Dees won the other New Mutants #93 piece (same feedback winner as the other New Mutants #93 UNUSED cover art that sold previously on eBay, which will soon be ALTERNATE cover, with new/fake stats, which were never meant to be on the piece in the first place. #sad).

Yeah, it’s them. It’s one of their many eBay accounts.

Gotta control the market of unused covers.

What is the general consensus towards the current experimental sketches compared to the earlier inked sketches? As well, is he also publishing these watercolor, mixed media, ... sketches?

I love seeing them. So many of these guys have amazing talent beyond pen and ink, so I appreciate them getting to show those skills off.

I'm tempted to bid stronger on it than last time, but the previous one went for $6,766 on ebay (with the brothers beating a $6,666 bid).  Is an unused cover really worth more than that?  I want to avoid the brothers getting it, but I'm not willing to overpay either :P

Malvin

The devil bid was mine, and it was more than I really wanted to pay and a little more than I thought it was worth. Made sense once I realized I was bidding against a “dealer”. I actually like this one better, but I’m not bidding crazy just to outbid los bros, so I’m out. 

Maybe spend more time vetting your pieces than measuring yourself in front of us children.

That’s not Jean Grey. It’s Colleen Wing.

Well, if anybody wants a chance at another unused cover (that’s better than the last imo), here it is

Better get it before los bros butcher it and jack up the price

I bought a finished piece what was the issue there ? All he had to do is ship it and couldn’t do that either ? Then he reposted it on CAF same day I had to file a PP claim? He’s a crack head 

It sucks that you were scammed, and you have every right to post about him wherever you want to warn other people, but maybe stop calling him a drug addict and crack head. 

I only have 1 piece framed. I’m back and forth between 2 cities a lot, so I always bring the art with me.

Thanks P!  

Regular mat is 14x20 size (so I can fold over mylar top with tape, no open end) with opening size 10.5 x 15.75 (I like some margin notations, title/page etc). 4-Mil Mylar is 14.5 x 22.5 inches, available everywhere  

Twice-up mat is 18x24 with opening size 13 x 19.  4-Mil Mylar is 18.5 x 24.5 inches  DPS same board and mylar, no mat. 
 

Archival foam core boards and custom mats from matboardandmore.com

Lineco archival corners

EGerber mylar 1422R and 1824R

Total $8-10 per piece, bargain vs framing!

I love this method. I’m def stealing this idea.

Maybe it’s the dog owner in me, but having all that liquid above a bookshelf makes me super uncomfortable.

I am thinking the same thing.. I was trying to sit it out.. but won the Adams Storm cover because it sat way below what I thought it was going to go for

 

Yeah that wasn’t a bad price. Congrats.

2) On a similar note, it might also be good for commission lists to start a few hours before or after the art for sale postings to give people time to focus on one or the other. 

 

I liked everything together because it was like a normal con. Gotta prioritize, which generally leaves something else open so others can try to get stuff.

Didn’t find any OA I needed, but I did get a commission in with Michael Golden which I’m very excited about!

Just make sure you’re patient...

There’s really only one page I’m interested in at a price I like, but it’s from a seller that I purchased from months ago that can’t be bothered to remove the page I bought from him. So I’ll pass. 

But I agree that I think this is all set up pretty well.

As a Premium Member, I should be able to access the art at this time. All I can see are thumbnails. No access to the actual item. 

What's up with this? Is there some special portal I should have gone through to access the site as a premium member?

 

The comic art live > art for sale tabs are working fine for me for viewing the art

Well, definitely feels like a real con. Got up early to walk the floor to see aggressive pricing.

Just got a pretty cool page in the mail I wanted to share. Giant Size X-men 4 pg 1 by Rick Leonardi and Jimmy Palmiotti. I didnt even know that marvel continued the GS X-Men somewhere in the 2000s (I stopped new comics before that) until I saw this page on Jimmys website. I remember the Leonardi X-men issues from the 80s fondly so getting this page with some great action was a no brained! 
 

 

Nice pick up. I lucked out and saw Jimmy’s tweet about new art and picked this up. Was debating some of those Leonardi X-men pages.

What about an LCS? Preferably with the owner involved?

I don’t collect a lot of new books anymore, but I’ve always liked this shop. Has a good mix of everything.
