  1. Of course you're right, there is no miracle: if the description is poor / wrong / misspelled / miscategorized, ComicArtTracker may not show you the art - and it can give you some opportunities of you spot them. If sellers don't want to make any effort to give their art the best chance to sell, what can I do? I could automatically accept some error margin when matching keywords, but then I would receive messages every day to tell me that CAT is a because they receive wrong matches (I already do receive such messages, but not everyday ^^). Sometimes when you know that it happens, you may choose a more "resilient" keyword - that's what I do for Bill Sienkiewicz by looking for any word starting with "sienk". It means that you also accepts to get more false positive to not miss anything (like looking for "phantom" instead of "phantom stranger"). It's just a question of balance, and it's your choice. But is there any alternative? Except if you want me to train some IA to help find approximative matches and sort the art for you.
  2. You don't have it on a regular search, only when checking your favs: define your favs (see here) go to the search page and click on "check all favorites now"
  3. With favs and "discard all", I doubt you get tons of new Kirby or Frazetta every day. I follow more than 100 keywords and I don't spend more than 30s every day to check the new listings matching my favs. In fact, I first click on "discard all" then I scroll down and if need be I undiscard / track the art I'm interested in.
  4. Yet another proof that you should not believe anything on social media without checking...
  5. You probably saw that on FB and I think it's just a joke / fake article ;-)
  6. I would also love to stop seeing the same lots from eBay every week, and that's definitely a feature that I plan to develop one day. But that's a quite complex one to put in place, and it could impact server performance if I don't do it properly.
  7. These stats do not take into account art from eBay below $100 that did not sell. See screenshot below, that's what you're looking for. But please note that it might exclude some art that you don't really want to exclude, just because someone decided to copy the whole biography of an artist, including some keywords that have nothing to do with this specific art... That's why I personally don't use this feature: I do prefer to visually filter a lot of cr*p rather than missing out a "false positive"!
  8. It might be more a question of quality than quantity. Looking at ComicArtTracker stats, the flow is quite stable. Usually between 6000 and 7000 new art listed every week. See graph below on the last 200 weeks (~ 4 years):
  9. Totally agreed! I have a page from the same What If #19 and I love how he played with the original panels from Ditko... ...compared to:
  10. I would say $1680... with this page https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/pat-broderick-and-mike-esposito-what-if-19-story-page-5-original-art-marvel-1980-/a/122110-13704.s
  11. This one? https://comicarttracker.com/history?query=wonder-woman-774 Anyway, the only WW 774 art I see on ComicArtTracker is / was sold by Comic Art House.
  12. oh I see ONE I would not love to have...
  13. Maybe if you ever want to install an air conditioner?
  14. $1700 (as highlighted on the screenshot from J.Sid) https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?id=1479714
  15. I have a single Google spreadsheet with a few columns: artist / series / description (issue / page) a link to 2DG or CAF or a private Dropbox folder a simple color code (black / red / orange / yellow / white) stating how attached I am to the page (of course I know it, don't need a color code... but this way I can easily sort / filter if I need an overview of what I could easily sell if need be) status (sold or not - to have a rough idea of my overall PnL / unrealized) purchase date / purchase price / optionally resale price estimation if I have the book and / or an image of the published page
  16. There's a text on the back, saying something like "I wish you happy holidays too. Christmas 69. Montse". So I would say a reproduction used as a Christmas card?

  19. Thanks for the pictures and the link, this video is really interesting. And these pages by Druillet are incredible!!
  20. I can't tell for private sales, but for auctions you can check here: https://comicarttracker.com/auctions/top-prices
  21. $48k for this one? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/john-byrne-and-terry-austin-x-men-137-page-37-original-art-marvel-1980-/a/7224-91011.s
  22. Thanks for the summary, was interesting to read! Now I would just like a summary in the summary! Something like a per dealer breakdown with number of offered pieces / total value against percentage of sold pieces / average discount.
  23. https://comicarttracker.com/faq-en/comicarttracker/how-can-i-see-past-sale-prices Of course it won't work if the art is directly listed "sold" / "on hold", or if its status changes before ComicArtTracker indexes it.
  24. Google ComicArtTracker is your best friend! $25,000
