My view would be that supply will be the biggest factor that is likely to hurt the Walking Dead's original art value over time.

The series is ongoing, and there are already over 2000 pages of original art out there. Those are huge numbers, and you have to wonder if the continuing demand can really sustain higher price levels with that much supply?

Has anyone used the Epson perfection v330 for scanning slabs?

It's not legal sized, but seems to be the cheapest 'new' scanner that uses CCD technology.

Would be good to hear positive feedback before I pull the trigger on one.

It would appear that Valiant variants and #1's, after 20 years, has finally paid off for those people who have held onto them for all these years after the bubble burst!

 

Harbinger #1 - Currently selling for $63.

Eternal Warrior #1 Gold - at $50 to $80ish

X-O Manowar #1 sells at a brisk $20

Harbinger pink seems to get about $55.

 

Valiant is all over The Market's modern books heating up!

Maybe the time is now right to sell my NM sets of X-O Manowar 1-10 and Harbinger 1-10 (with pink sendaway book also NM)

I still have dozens of #361, about 100+ #362, and over 300 #363's...

(Plus the silver second editions)

 

 

Sell off a few of those ASM 363's on eBay and mention in the auction that the Original Art for the cover by Bagley just sold at Heritage for $17,000!

Does anyone know how to acquire Capullo original art? Does he have a dealer or sell it himself? I'm very interested in grabbing pieces by him. Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks!

If you are thinking about Batman art, think again. None of it is for sale!

man, so glad I randomly saw this announce yesterday evening. I must have randomly got one of the last ones for mail order. the WC ones were still available until about 8 last night.

 

Is it me or is $250 just a great price for this book?

 

Also getting the WW Wonder-con book. Super stoked to have these 2 great books.

 

 

 

 

250 is a steal. Stan's been charging more than 50 for his sig for a while now. And a sketch that nice should be 100 by itself. Add in the book and that it is limited edition of only 250 copies and I would have expected 350 to 400 to be the retail.

So let me get this straight...you will be flipping them for $400?

but, overall, I agree that it's much less about aesthetics than one would think.

The same could also be said for the fine art market.

While we're at it, how much work did Miller do on the first Wolverine Limited Series? I recall that Rubinstein said that Miller did only extremely loose breakdowns, though I don't recall whether that was directly on board or on separate loose sheets of paper like DD #185-190. Does anyone remember?

I'm not sure on the specifics, but it is pretty clear from looking at the art style that it is mainly Rubinstein.

Has Frank Miller himself ever made a statement on this issue? Have we ever had any direct confirmation from him as to what he did or didn't do regards art on his DD run? Surely this can't be that hard to clarify.

All this anecdotal, second and third party information only succeeds in muddying the waters further. For such a major run on a major title, it just seems crazy that there is so much misinformation.

There were a few OA pieces that looked like they were in the bid drop of doom though tactic. Though I don't think anyone hit the magic bid.

I haven't the slightest idea what this means.

Arch flushed the toilet yesterday.

 

I miss the old days...

Thanks a lot guys, and I hope you enjoy the books.

I dont like the part where posts have to start with"WTS:" its too blah

I agree.

 

Also, the part about "threads may not be bumped to the top until a week after they have fallen off of the front page" is a big disappointment. I realize Arch is trying to prevent serial bumping, but a week seems much too long to keep any momentum. Speaking as one of the "little fish" that the guidelines are presumably trying to protect, I would have lost out on most of my sales if this had been in effect before.

I agree with both sentiments.

So do I.

I don't think a time limit should be put on the bumping of a thread, rather a number of bumps limit should be applied. Say for example three seller bumps after all other activity has ceased?

kudos to blowout for a good deal on a spidey 8! Good value for the money and a very nice book! Super sturdy packaging bordering on

You can't be too careful when dealing with the US postal service.

A pleasure doing business with you, and enjoy the book.

Major Kudos to blowout for some nice Neal Adams Detectives.

 

I've been wanting to read the rest of the Man-Bat saga since I bought #400 earlier this year from ComicSupply. #402 is one of my favorite covers from the BA and now I own the Don Rosa copy.

 

Kudos to Norinn Radd for being one of the best on the boards, and a man with taste too!

SERIOUSLY overdue kudos to the following forumites with whom I've had great transactions with recently...

All were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks a bunch guys!

Major kudos to Blowout for yet another order. Nice books and a great slab! Thanks Lee!!

Kudos right back at you Mr. Anfield for the usual swift payment. Hope you enjoy the books, you probably need some cheering up after your teams latest league defeat.

Here's page 10 - Pete's unforgettable first meeting with Gwen Stacy, who, I repeat, was totally the right girl for him instead of that ditzy ho Mary Jane...

 

 

that the first appearance of elizabeth montgomery from bewitched?

Great pages for sure Gene, but it is amazing to note how much Gwen Stacy's appearance changed after Ditko left the book.

Hey Frederic, great idea for a thread!

 

Are some of these books my former CGC beauties that you deslabbed, or did you pick up some nice raw copies?

 

Either way, a really cool bunch of books.

 

ST 103, 106, 116 & 120 were bought raw and then slabbed (except for 106, I did not scan them once slabbed) In fact, ST 106 was my first purchase on eBay and I got it at a great price

 

As for your former beauties, I still have ST 117 & 118.

Your former ST 120 is in the caring hands of another forumite, the one that you originally sold it to...

Glad to hear they are all still being enjoyed!
