Bump. 19 responses.

Bump. As we hit 20/40/60 responses I can share findings if ppl would like? So far... 11 responses. Good response-view rate.

Since responses are coming via the survey monkey site, I'll bump this topic as needed. Or others can bump as as they respond (if they see value). So far 7 responses.

So many threads on the question of where will art values be in years to come. Figured I'd throw out a survey to see where the majority is. 3 questions... 5/10/20 years from now where will the hobby (in general be)? https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2CV8J6P Ps I'm no analytics person so apologies if the survey isn't 'scientific' or 'smart' or 'representative'.

Yep. Was trying to emphasize that icon status is ageless and used aged rock stars as the metaphor.

Early Elvis=early kirby. Fat Elvis=late Kirby. Still obviously the king but slowed down a lot.

My assertion was that, like some rock stars, some comic artists' impact will live on long after their generations because they have surpassed their mediums to become icons. So while the exercise below is ridiculous, and I'm neither an OA or music expert, here are my comparisons for comic artists who's popularity and impact will live long past when the medium they used falls out of the popular culture. I see these artists, like these musicians retaining popularity or even experiencing huge resurgences in popularity over many generations to come. Miller= J. Cash McFarlane=Jagger Adams= Clapton Romita=McCartney Ditko=Hendrix Kirby=Elvis Frazetta=Bowie You may now

I think when an artist surpasses their craft and grows into popular culture icon/rock star status, they become somewhat impervious to aging out and we will always see (some) growth in value for their art. I cant think of many who fit this bill. But there are a few. They are the ones we recognize easily by face or who created iconic pieces that we equally recognize instantly. The Sinatra, Jagger, Elvis types....icons. In time, none of us will have been around to see these icons in concert or will have bought an album of theirs hot off the billboards but their music and impact will never go away. So the big question is...who are these comic artists?

Its posted! I hope you all like it. https://bit.ly/32ekA5c

I hear ya. And I almost always post. But figured I'd see where folks are at on this topic.

That is the question. I find myself having just acquired a grail level McSpidey cover (for me). Its my second. I love the gratification of posting on CAF and getting comments but I also like the 'fresh to market' element if/when i sell (cant be buried with it afterall). Poll time: Post or Private?

With lots of people waiting til the last few minutes, ppl will have to be super aggressive in the final moments if they want a chance to win. Should be exciting! Good luck to anyone bidding!

Bump! Strangely quiet group on this and I am bored at work so... BUMP!

I take over. While you can get a McSpidey piece here and there, it's not often a prime piece hits the market. And this is a prime piece. Like with all other OA, image is key. The 311 that sold a year ago had a distorted spidey image. Excellent for its artistic merit and worth every penny and more but not a cover known for its 'spidey-ness'. This one however has that and could draw some serious interest.

I think anyone really looking for great McSpidey pieces knows how hard it is to find them. Yes they are around but you tend to have to pay a heavy premium to shake them loose.

As the previous poster requested... anybody attending today please take great high res pics so we unlucky folks who cant attend can see all the goodies and their prices. We thank you photographers in advance and await your pics with great anticipation.

Sweet! Thanks.

Hey folks, I am looking for the post with pics of OA dealer booths from late 2018. Specifically New Jersey and New York art cons. If anyone can point me to that post I would be grateful! Thanks!

Hi folks. Taking cash/trade offers on this. Larsen ASM pre-fire art is very rare. The title is hand drawn. PM or email me. Stanton.singh@hotmail.com

This is a really good Comiclink auction. I am excited to see where some of the pieces land. I have my eye on a few but expect bidding to fast and furious as hammer-time approaches. Especially since this thread has been quiet...too quiet.

Topic closed.

Hey Group! I recently saw a piece of art again that I had seen just a couple weeks before. It looked yellower than I remember. It hadn't been in the sun, It had only been shipped from the US to Canada. The owner wasn't looking to sell it nor were they complaining but I hadn't heard of this before. Is this something that any of you have encountered? PS. I cant share a pic of the art as its not mine. Thanks!

Just bought the attached and was offered a grail piece. So this and maybe other pieces on my CAF are expendable. I'd like to get what I paid for it at the last HA auction but I know I may need to take a bit of a loss. I'm negotiable at 6k. And here's my CAF. https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=90970 Thanks.

Ya I'm the consignor. And I miss it very much. I might have made a mistake... Hopefully I can get it back one day.
