Rob, like many creators in today's comic collecting world, has figured out that some collectors put a perceived value on a comic if the creator signs it and then it gets slabbed.  More than likely he's trying to figure out at what price people will no longer stand in line to get his signature.  If people keep paying then he's gonna keep charging more for it and add any additional upcharge those same collectors are willing to pay.

Think Geek has been running a moving sale promo.  I picked up a Fallout 76 Pip-Boy 2000 Construction Kit and a Plasma Pistol for 50% off.  The Fallout 76 Pip-Boy 2000 Construction Kit has sold out.

I'd think that the OA work for the Spawn ad that appeared in Rust #1 and then became the cover of Spawn #2 might have a shot at the title of the OA Holy Grail for comic ads.

I’m sure both companies will be happy to make state of the art websites if we are willing to pay buyer premiums. Until then, I’m good with not paying a BP and managing with the sites.

Yep, this is spot on. 

My positive experiences of using the Comic Link platform far outweigh any negative ones I may have gone through.  My experience has been that Comic Link has always been super easy to communicate with, and buy/sell items through.

I love them, they’re often tight and drawn full sized, and cost a fraction of the published art ( 5-15% ) . So that fits my budget 

 

Here are are some of my favs

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's a very sweet Sale prelim.

Very iconic prelim from Miller. 

Mike Zeck and Eddy Barrows have produced some great prelim covers.

Unpublished. Since none of the art on the prelims were ever published even if they are close still different.

Thanks!  With the above in mind, then about 90% of my collection is published.

How do prelims of published covers and published inner pages get defined?

4.0 - interesting cover

Only picture I got of my DD #1...

I'm gonna take some pics tonight of some of my DD keys and post them and take a better pic of DD #1

OMG, great wall!

Always thought this was an interesting cover.  The colors pop on the book.

That's freaky.  The pause on the blink makes you doubt you saw what you saw.

2.0, good luck

8.0, nice book

Interesting conversation.  Like to know what grade you get if you send it in.

I purchased a piece from Chris Samnee.  He threw in an extra head shot he'd sketched as a thank you.  It was a surprise to find in the package he sent.

4.5, good luck

The color really pops on that!  Like everyone else - 4.0

6.0

The creator makes the decision and it might change.  An example would be Jim Towe.  He did his Youngblood work digitally.  When he went over to Marvel and did Spider-Man/Deadpool he switched to pencils.

I just took a look, almost $1K for that is insane and makes no sense!

Noting that Infinity Inc "splashy" type pages sell for around $800.00 I have to agree.  The consignor was a happy person when that page ended.  Like I said, there was some interesting ending prices in that auction.
