    Auctions without scans of artwork

    How can Heritage or any auction house start an auction without scans of the artwork?

    The question is "why can't they provide a scan ?"  I guess it's not for a lack of time or resources, so does it mean that they don't have the artwork physically? If that's the case, how can they/we be sure of the accuracy of the description, condition of the artwork, etc?

    Hello everyone! 

    Holidays is a good time to work on ComicArtTracker, and I have a few new features to present!

    First new feature: Artists, Characters, and Series now have their own dedicated pages! At a glance, you can see some of the best sold and available original art for many of the most popular searches. Click on the top right button in a page if you want to be notified of similar new art. There is more than 2000 pages, so feel free to tell me if there's something wrong on any of them... or if I forgot someone / something (with enough original art to display ^^)!

    Second enhancement: search for past sales is no longer limited to 2 months. You now get access to the whole ComicArtTracker database -- more than 900,000 artworks! However, price display is still limited to the last 2 months... To see the sold price, simply click through to the source page.

    Last point, I finally created a Facebook page for ComicArtTracker ... I will mainly use this page to announce new features, new sources added and things like that. But who knows, if it works well I might consider new ideas as well. And to have something to start with, I added a few new sources lately (mainly artists) and there is a few more to come. If you know of a source that should be indexed in CAT, please tell me!

    Hope you enjoy ComicArtTracker and will find new pages you like!

    I enjoy ComicArtTracker, and use it frequently. Thanks, Nico! Weird thing happened this morning, though: When I type in "Bob Montana", I get 29 results -- but no images or working links to take me to the results. When I type in Sekowsky, Oksner, or what have you, everything pops up as expected. Anyone else experience a similar issue?

    Thanks for pointing out this issue. It came from one of the results being wrongly encoded (encoding is really painful for developers ^^) ...

    It should be fixed now! Tell me.

    Hi @NicoV

    I love using the comic art tracker, and one of my favorite features is the New art by Source screen.

    The screen displays each source, with a "newly listed" number.  But when I look for the details, many of the sources return return no results.  Like right now Illustration Art Gallery says 69 newly listed, and Comic Art Store has 33 newly listed.  But when go to View the recently listed art, the New comic art screen shows no results.  Is this a known issue?

    I am using Chrome (on iphone X)

     

    Thanks

    Hi @Catwoman_Fan

    Thanks for your feedback. I do see the new artworks for the two websites you mention, which probably means that you excluded these sources. Did you check your settings here? https://comicarttracker.com/en/settings?sources

    In all cases, I'll improve the pages: you should either be warned on the "new art by source" page that you excluded these sources, or see the art (and be warned that you won't see this art on searches, notifications, and so on) on the source page itself. Probably a combination of the two. And thanks to your message I see that I have a problem to get the images from Comic Art Store (:

    On one hand some of you say he's a rep and does not necessarily have the art with him, and on the other hand some other say it's easier to catch him at a con and flip through art. There's something I don't understand. (:

    But at least I now have an idea why he's the ONLY dealer to have blacklisted ComicArtTracker servers... maybe it's because it gave him too much work :bigsmile:

    Apologies for thread drift but the only thing more frustrating than trying to find the artwork in this auction is trying to find out what it sold for.  Is there a way to see what the Kirby stuff sold at?

    As @BCarter27 said, you can see results here: https://comicarttracker.com/comicconnect-auctions/2018-12-10

    @Panelfan1 answered better than I could do: the idea is not to sell all pages at $25k but to make high prices look like bargains. And I'm not even sure that Batman published pages will be available for sale: Marini posted a video on Facebook a few days ago (can't find it :-/ ), showing artworks "he was selecting for the coming sale" and it was only illustrations / commissions-like drawings. He also often publish on Facebook about drawings he does quickly in 10mn while drinking his morning coffee and sells 800-1000€. So it might be easier to offer such unpublished commissions at 1-2k€ (or more) when a published panel page sold $25k...
