How does that work if he's charging less than he bought em for? Volume?

The Olivier Coipel Black Cat #2 Variant Cover that went for $6300 w/BP. I believe that was sold on another dealer's website for around $15k. Yeah, that one hurt!  

It was listed at 20k but sold around 8 mos ago.

In person, it was beautiful!

I've been wondering this myself. I think I asked @romitaman at Bill Cox's house. I think he said FF 48-50 haven't surfaced (could be wrong). He also said SS4 cover is known to exist.

How much art are we talking? Hundreds of 11x17" pages or framed artwork on the walls?

I buy for keeps too.

I'm usually going for artist or character, and hopefully sometimes story. When you hit it all that's the sweet spot. And I seem to alternate between nostalgia vs "better" newer art.

Keep going for published pages. Write out your top goals. Naturally, the more desirable pages will cost more.

I'm also for stretching a bit on purchase price to get something you really like (as long as it's not gonna get you in trouble). So if you usually buy $500 pages, maybe hold out 2-4x as long and get that $1k or 2k page. Slowly stalk your prey and wait for a deal.

I didn't get my Gaiman auction mailing til it was over. That happens sometimes so...

especially when we will probably never see any art from Avengers 4 for sale which makes it only 7 kirby penciled issues and limits the pool further.

Are those known to exist?

UPS delivered my last shipment from the UK to my neighbor 10 houses down. Had to knock on most doors on the street to get it back luckily!

I get so many reminder emails from CL that I automatically delete without even scanning the title so I miss things.

A production page is just a stat, right?

Is it thin or sturdy like bristol?

I was told back scan is up now on clink, but unfortunately nothing on there. 

I see it. Seems to take a while for their scans to show up.

Loved his work with Alan Davis.

I mean, if you buy a piece on eBay on 12/31 and it doesn't arrive until Jan. 7, should that make it ineligible for that year's Best Of? IMO, no.

Yep, this is where I was. I bought a cover from a rep in early November and it was sposed to arrive so I added it to CAF. I don't like to put it on CAF til I physically have it. Things got crazy and I forgot about entering anything in Best Of.

3 months later it's still not here or shipped altho hopefully soon. I'm thinking about deleting it off CAF and re-upping once it's in hand...not that it's a big contender or anything.

Wow! Super cool page from one of my favorite story eras of Uncanny.

My fav too, altho I guess you can't help what you grow up on. But those were prime years with those Silvestri/Green and Claremont.

Don't post here very often but this pickup from California Art Con was an unexpected pleasure...I know the artist but interested in seeing if folks can identify who drew this one before I post to my CAF

Enjoy!

Wow that's super pretty!

Would love to see more pics!

I wasn't able to make it up there unfortunately.

@alxjhnsn will be here in a sec to help you out...

I'm curious, I have a page from that issue too (NFS). There have been some other Avengers pages from that era/artists for sale at Heritage and one from that issue on CAF for a couple grand (don't know if it sold or what for).
