  1. My experience...

    On October 25th Cadence posted some new art. It was a piece I really wanted. I immediately requested if it was available. I got response within an hour saying it was. I paid the same day, Oct 25. On Oct 29 I got notice that the item had shipped. On Nov 1 the item arrived. No problems, no issues. 

    It was my first time buying from them and I would buy from them again. 

  2. Only one piece interested me and I won it. 

    On the other hand, I only half heartily bid on one piece in the Comiclink auction and didn't bother bidding on the other 3 items I was interested in.

    Is there a catalog for this auction?  If so, has anyone received it yet?

    Comiclink does not send out a catalogue. They send out a pamphlet that highlights a few choice pieces of original art. They do not have a catalogue that lists all the lots in their auction.

     

    I don't know why people call what they send a catalogue. 

  4. In greater detail. 

    The all Byrne pieces were published in portfolio, 6 plates, pencil and ink by Byrne. Later as a special edition, a seventh plate was added using of the prelims as the seventh plate. The prelims were returned to Byrne years later and were purchased by two collectors. The two collectors looked to commission Terry Austin to ink the prelims but he was not interested. They then looked to commission George Perez to ink the prelims and he did. The Byrne/Perez pieces were never published in any way. 

     

    I think that's the story.

    Hope this is okay to post here. I was directed here from reddit and thought I might get a bit more experience here. Bit of a trader of random things and not a comic book expert by any stretch. But I came across this and was wondering if there was a way to authenticate it or at least know exactly what it is. It's a transparency with the color guide (is that what this is called?) for Silver Surfer's "The Enslavers" comic. Would love to hear thoughts on it.

    I can't give you a value because I don't know. 

    What you see is a color guide. This piece was painted using the Blueline coloring technique. The black line art is reproduced on an acetate overlay which is then laid on top of the painted art. This completes the page and the art is camera ready. 

    The Paul Mounts paints are original.

    The Keith Pollard black line art is not.

    It is part of the production process. A bit more involved than just a typical color guide.

    I obviously find it easier to do so if a piece is posted on the internet but just feel awkward when I’m face to face with the artist/seller. Anyone care to share their experience?

    I am the exact opposite. I have no problem asking when face to face, (even on single items!) but find it difficult when a piece is posted on the net. It feels awkward because I can't see their reaction or feel them out.

  8. Yes. Everything was in that one room.

    Starting on the left side of the room... Richard Halegua had two spots, Bechara had the next three. Back against the wall was Mike Thibodeaux. Along the right side was Coolines, next to them was James Pascoe restoration expert. Where the lady with the pink shirt is sitting, that was Saul Zimmerman. Next to him was some guys with a scanner but no art and to the immediate right, who you can't see were Panel Page art and Will Gabriel.
