That point was brought up last week by one of the guest dealmakers selling a Bob Brown page. I'm just trying to give some continuity to this show that they can build upon. One day we might get a New Edition meme out of it. I want them to do an interview show with Galactus 3:16 guy and Stephen Donnelly - Rich. Those two have the best screen presence and are genuinely happy to be on the show. Marcus

So collecting comics books graded by CGC is no good either?

Same amount of work, less money to be made. Basically doing loss leaders for advertising and buzz for an overall effect to get the bigger things to sell and sell out. Maybe they don't want to have all the attention because it goes positive and negative as we see in this thread. Also depends if the artists are confident enough their loose prelims and sketches will sell. It would hurt sales of regular art and commission requests if a prelim at $10 just sits around forever.

I never said treating people poorly is part of their job. I said it's part of their job to take the heat when doing things fans don't like on behalf of the artist. That way you can still love the artist when they raise prices, turn down commissions, etc. You said they are rude and off putting, but never mentioned anything about being lied to before this post.

It's a necessary part of their job to do the dirty business stuff, turn people away, and raise prices. Some of them are their family members / sig other who see all fans as taking advantage of the artist. They take everything personally when art is flipped and then turn that energy on the rest of the fans for bidding/buying. No one is going to call out some of these people by name anyways because the artist is too popular and it's their family. So give me the professional rep who's a jerk, at least they won't hold grudges and pre judge anyone new who approaches them.

A part of their job is to take the heat when the artists raise prices, place restrictions/limits, etc. that make fans unhappy so the artist themselves don't take the heat.

Just to be clear since it was a topic on here before, nothing is to be expected in return for these scans correct?

You're asking a lot from people who don't read comics.

Nice cover story.

The thing with the odd or less in demand characters is that he may not draw them ever again going forward.

They are not 4 quadrant movies and take a higher budget that see lesser returns since you won't be buying tickets for the rest of your family. There are a lot of them on Netflix - 6 Underground, Extraction, Triple Frontier, Spectral, Revenger, Spenser Confidential and The Night Comes for Us just to name a few. You will also find a lot more with direct to video releases with Bruce Willis, Nic Cage, Steven Seagal, Scott Adkins, etc.

I first saw this in 2000 with an inker's art being sold by a rep. It was explained by the rep that the veteran inker created it because he was teamed with a hot rookie penciller on a new DC book and the art had a lot of anatomy issues that had to be fixed. He didn't want to waste time erasing, so he made a copy (converted to blue) of the entire issue to redraw over the problems with inks and returned the pencil pages untouched. It might have been done only early on in the penciller and inker partnership.

Albert's is the prelim. The other one is the final version.

If you tend to purchase art in public auction, save up and hold out for a grail to show up. If you are looking to pry art from collections, some pieces have that trade/cash or "trade only" sticker price. Collectors want to trade up instead of down. So you may need some better artwork that is also appreciating in value to use as ammunition.
