"Problem" solved.

What was the issue ??

... as an artist

Wow. In the future, if he's set up with multiple tables, what will people assume

If you catch him at a show, he can draw something there if you give him enough time. Otherwise, he's camped out selling those prints. I have to say, not a big fan of those Marvel (literal) zombie prints, content-wise. Otherwise, I think he's a pretty darn good artist.

Also, if you haven't already looked, on HA.com go to Bid/Buy -> How to Bid/Buy -> Bidding with Heritage Live ! If your lot doesn't come up early in the bidding, you should hang back and watch the proceedings. Make sure you hit the "Disable Live Bidding" button. Then feel free to click on lots and tabs to see what's what.

If it was just a sketch in a book, I'd say you could cut it out and not feel too guilty about it. Since it's 1 of 10 drawings... It may only matter if those 10 drawings were done as "official" drawings for the publisher or if Billy Tan had 10 complimentary copies and created his own "limited edition" to boost the value of his comp copies. He could sell 10 comps at a convention for X dollars or sell them for even more with a sketch. And if the book isn't generally highly valued, it may not matter whether or not the book has a limited sketch or not.

Now that I've seen it... it's nice but I could definitely be talked out of it.

All good points. You didn't indicate cost was a factor. If not, do it. Are you posting so that you'll be convinced to not buy a piece that you don't like ?

Doesn't seem Wrightsonian to me.

I'm sure even @macrab2 is joking. At least I hope he is.

It's a volume business. Here's one I noticed while watching the live auction a couple weeks back, titled "Al McWilliams Daily Comic Strip Original Art Group of 3" 2 of the 3 pieces are by Al Williamson only 1 is by Al McWilliams https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/comic-strip-art/al-mcwilliams-daily-comic-strip-original-art-group-of-3-various-publishers-1962-73-total-3-original-art-/a/122021-17622.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116

The only thing that looks "off" to me is Superman's left bicep. I don't say it's JLGL because you mentioned it first. It's because I believe it. JLGL from a certain period is very distinctive.

Garcia-Lopez. And it might have some age to it. I would say that it was probably not originally bought directly from Garcia-Lopez. When Scott Dunbier was selling JLGL's art, none of it was signed. After getting the art, I'd have to wait until later to get it signed. Although Spencer Beck handles JLGL art these days and I don't think those pieces are sold with signatures either. But I think this version of JLGL anatomy goes back to he 80's.

Chris Dien.

Maybe because it has very little linework?? Probably the closest thing to a full blown painting so far. I've never heard of Saint Batman, kind of a corny name. I have to think that even Jim Lee is feeling a little Batman-fatigue. I'm never going to win one of those auctions and choose the next subject. However, I'd like to see him take on... Enemy Ace, Sgt Rock and Robotman (Doom Patrol).

@NelsonAI said it was called "cleaning".

Not sure if it's the same book but there's an IDW book of Marvel covers on ebay with a BIN of $199.99 and free shipping. The OP's ebay lot in question currently stands at $56 with $18 shipping. I'm not that big of a Marvel fan but I know which one I would buy.

BC (Before Corona) I usually did not use a credit card for in-person purchases. Not just comics related purchases, almost any purchase. Since, I've been getting cash from the ATM and then wiping it down with disinfectant wipes. Then letting them cool down (i.e. waiting for stuff to die). Anyone that is doing a large cash deal can surely afford to get Lysol on the black market and give their suitcase of cash the "Lysol dip" (a term I've used BC).

I agree with @NelsonAI . The seller should provide more information. Maybe he doesn't have that knowledge. The listing uses the word "original" but I would say it's not the original art. I'm assuming the original art is twice-up. The 2nd image shows that image is definitely not twice-up (compared to the laptop) and that it's printed on a much larger sheet that has a roll at the bottom (maybe because it's in a poly sleeve). The original art would definitely not have that kind of roll. There's another image with a toploader sitting squarely over the image (flattening the roll ?) that might make you thing that it's actually in the toploader. Images at 50%

Picking up on Ernie Colon and "Alarians" in the lettering... http://bronzeageofblogs.blogspot.com/2019/07/ernie-colons-to-sleep-perchance-to-die.html You have to scroll quite a ways.

I guess this is new ?? Didn't you just finish a man cave / comics reading room ?

Hmmm... it looks like the image is still reduced compared to my copy. Here's just the UNN. Maybe the marker will show better. Click on it for a little larger image.

Logo lettering at 100% Click on it to see it better.

Score !! I was able to recover a copy from my cache. This is at 33%
