Another San Diego in the books. There was a lot of nice art and I had my eye on a couple of things but I didn't buy anything. Like most I did most of my browsing Wed & Thurs I didn't even make it to the art dealers part of the room Fri, Sat & Sun. I took a couple of pictures of pieces I was interested in in case I wanted to revisit them later.
Talked to Albert for a bit and went through his portfolios since he has a lot not on his site. He had some really nice pieces he pulled from his personal collection. I talked to Kwan for a bit too.
Art wise that was pretty much it. A lot of artists in attendance. Not all in the artist alley area, which was weird and unfortunate for the artist as it limited their potential business. I was able to have a nice conversation with John Beatty and Geof Isherwood. I have commissioned both artists in the past but have never had the pleasure to meet them. That was pretty cool! Beatty remembered my pieces from almost 10 years ago and gave me a bit of info on a Batman piece I have.
The rest of the show was spent catching up with old friends, at the booth, walking around inside and outside the convention.
Here are the pictures I took of the various art dealers. Sorry if I missed any.

What do the sketchbooks look like?

Wait I'm confused. Why is everyone comparing the pieces to the published piece. That wasn't the beef.
In the guy's original post he clearly stated that Malvin's piece was the published piece. He KNOWS his isn't the final published piece.
The beef is...he believes Malvin's piece was lightboxed by Maguire (has no pencils/is inked only) and that he has the final original pencils (later inked by Farmer). That was the issue.
Sorry Malvin, but you should have left you comment up that his was a preliminary sketch inked by Mark Farmer and that your piece was both pencils and inks by Maguire.

Is this the original or a recreation? I read recently about a recreation of this page for sale. It is a great image either way, but obviously the price would change dramatically.
The Jack Kirby original will go up for auction in the next ComicLink auction.
The Mike Royer recreation was offered on Facebook and is clearly labeled as such.

Congrats to whoever sniped me on the Joe Q Ray cover... have fond memories of that limited series
It wasn't me. Not sure how but I lost it by $33. I was winning it at 2600.

I seem to recall from years ago that a very high-quality recreation of this cover by George Perez came up for sale privately or at auction. The recreation was so good that some Perez collectors momentarily thought it was the real thing. I could be having false memories here, but it seemed to cause a brief sensation. Anyone else recall this?
Yes, Lee you were correct. It was the 161 cover. The brief sensation was caused by the way it presented.

I bought a piece. The image was great and the price was fair (at least I felt it was).
Saved 28 pieces of which 16 are above 1600 which I will not be buying (I just like to look). Of the remaining 12, tomorrow I'll make an offer on one or two, see if there are any takers.

Thinking about participating in CAL, was going to specify a) US shipping only and b) payment by check. The question is, how much of an impediment will either be to selling?
I have no issue with sending a check. I have done it a lot this year, to dealers and collectors.

I was surprised at the Green Arrow covers. All went for a healthy amount (some more healthier than others) I was hoping to snake one. It wasn't meant to be. Glad to have bought the two I have.

IMO you didn't miss much. The show was divided into two rooms. Comics in the large room and art/misc in the smaller room. Artist, the few that were there, were set up in the hall between the two rooms (except for Tex who was in the large room). Art dealers were Anthony Snyder's Comic art, Panel Page Art, Nostalgic Investments and Metropolis (Metropolis being the only art dealer in the large room). a few of the comics dealers had art but nothing more than a few pages.

Good to hear! I had no issue covering the fee myself... Cam is doing this through Mark using a list of prices they were selling pieces for at shows- so that is the final amount they are asking for. They had never intended on selling them through mail order at those prices, so the paypal fee wasn't calculated into the price. That leaves Mark with options to either revise the entire list and include the fees so the pages are all a higher price, OR offer the option to send friends and family to save the fees. I see nothing wrong with that personally, and I would implore anyone else buying to consider this before refusing to cover the fee on goods and services.
While I am not advocating that anyone choose to send friends and family and assume the risk: If you aren't comfortable with that, by all means send goods and services... but cover the fee. If you don't, I think that the more this is done, the less likely it will be that the price list doesn't get revised to pad for the fees right out the gate. And now that I have already bought pages and been satisfied, I would like to have the option of getting those original prices and not worry about the 4% fee being already included in the price to hit the number Cam already priced them at.
PS- Micheal Browning: Still want to call me a scammer now that another person has come forward with a success story?
-JamesI have no issues with covering the fees if using Goods and Services.
However, I was not asked to use the Friends and Family option or to cover the fees for Goods and Services. It was quite refreshing.

I've traded 3 times (that I can remember) in my 25 years of collecting.
2 of the 3 started off as purchase inquiries.
1st trade. I was contacted by a collector wanting to buy a piece from my collection. It was not for sale. However, I knew of him and his collection. He had a couple of pieces I wanted. The piece I had was an outlier in my collection but the focus of his and vice versa. I offered to trade. We did.
2nd trade. I was offered a piece I've wanted for a long time, by a fellow collector. We collected the same artist, with only a difference in character preference. He knew I wanted it, hell he knew it was my grail (maybe he didn't know 🤔I don't remember). Traded two of mine to get the one. Worth it.
3rd trade. I was contacted by yet another collector wanting to buy a piece or two from my collection. They were not for sale. Again, I knew of him and his collection. I asked if he still had two pieces (they were no longer posted in his gallery) in his collection. He did. We traded.
In the end, in each trade I got something from my main wants and I hope they did the same. So know what the other collector collects or has in his collection and don't offer random pieces he has no interest in.
I've turned down trades that didn't offer any of my main wants because I like my pieces better and if I wanted a one off of an artist or title I could buy one.

I inquired the day (2/11) sallah4life posted. I went through the master list, scoped out the pieces I wanted. Followed instructions, made sure it was available, made clear what i wanted and the price. I was ready to purchase just waiting for confirmation from them. Received an email 2/15 thanking me for the inquiry and that they were inundated with requests, they would process requests in order. That's it, that was the last email.
Until today! Pages were confirmed available and ready to purchase!
A success story.
Pages were confirmed available and ready to purchase on 4/6. Payment was made on 4/8 using paypal goods and services with NO added % to cover fees (only mention that because everyone now ask, even some dealers, to cover fees when paying with goods and services) Art arrived 4/26. Pages look great!
A success story. My thanks to the Kennedy's and Mark.

Quality pics taken with camera?
in Original Comic Art
Posted
Sorry I'm a little late to the party. All of my art is photographed, with the rare exception of me getting a good scan from the previous owner. Pictures are taken with a Canon Powershot S410 (I know horribly outdated), outside in natural light and I try to lay it down on a brown, grey or black background. I do take shots directly overhead which does lead to some warping but I fix most of that using Photoshop. Besides I don't mind my pictures being a little off, makes it easier to identify if someone is using my pics.
