How many of these attempted flips are collectors in a uncertain but rising market trying to get affirmation that they didn't really overpay for a piece by trying to elicit offers from others.

Thinking about this, for 27,500 dollars you can buy this WD splash or the BWS Conan 7 splash. I love Conan, and one could argue the merits of that particular splash, but it seems the upside potential (and downside) makes the WD piece the better bet.

So I read the image area of 13x19 as the painted are itself. With the size of the yellow paper its on, and the thin margins at the top the mats will have to be huge on this from side to side with little room above the image to expose the paper. This may not be making much sense ;). At any rate, curious what your opinion is on the mounting now that you know the piece.

It is this piece. I always loved the Bysouth poster art, this piece has all of the same elements and even the same color schemes but re-arranged. Indy with whip Toht with yellow face, right eye in shadow Indy holding Marion wearing white dress Convoy truck chase scene Ark of the Covenant Indy fighting mechanic Indy descending into well of souls Scheduled to arrive Monday. I will likely frame this up, hence my question about the backing. The landscape paper layout also makes this a challenge to frame. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/illustrations/ron-fenton-raiders-of-the-lost-ark-uk-re-release-unpublished-movie-poster-art-original-art-1982-/a/121729-13032.s?ic2=mybidspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyBids-101116

I must have missed this booth. Whose were these? Thanks

I don't collect WD but this stopped me in my tracks. I don't think it had a price when I saw it.

Different page http://www.comicartfans.com/searchresult.asp?txtsearch=A Moy

Is that separate from his main page? I don't see any recent updates.

So I picked up my first piece of movie poster art for much less than I thought it would take. I am not complaining but wondered if the fact that the piece was mounted hurt its value. I know drymounting is a big no no, in general, but with presentation pieces like this it may not be uncommon. The second question is whether Poster Mountain could work their magic on a gouache on paper piece? Thanks

I ended up bidding. For this price and it being the top census SS copy I figured I could live with sig snafu.

EDIT: incorrect info posted. I swear I thought this Vamp 5 9.6 sold via offer on eBay when this same seller had listed it previously at a high Make an Offer listing. EDIT2: Makmorn talked me into it

I too am interested in how this one does. It "sold" on eBay previously via buy it now, I think. Same seller here so that sale didn't go through apparently. The sig though, we discussed this somewhere in this thread, its not the best sig. I'd prefer one of the unders (I think 9.4) with complete sigs. The Amazon copy, the guy won't budge below 3k because that was his cost, supposedly.

Yeah I had no idea what this was worth. I suspect 46 all in is a decent deal, but there aren't many people interested in this magazine, I take it

Picked this up at Clink. Not bad for 26 dollars (plus 20 for shipping, ouch). If the res is high enough I'd love someone to tell me why this is an 8.5 as my eyes really don't see it. It seems to have one color breaking spine tic and the rubbing. I suppose that is 8.5 territory??

Beautiful stuff. I just read the announcement at the top of the page and was curious how these awards are determined? Thematically, it seems there is some person or group at CGC that decides these based on a point system. I assume the winners just earn bragging rights (for the year?) and no compensation.

I really can't see any other reason to use the system Heritage uses. You can roughly estimate the time the lot will appear at live auction with plenty of time to submit max proxies. Auction fever is rampant - bid again, bid again, bid again. Buyers leave nothing in their wallets, like the eBay/CLink system allows.

I wonder how often the art inventory is checked. The Frazetta DD5 prelim has been listed for some time, just sold at auction at CLink, but is still listed on the CC site. I don't know what that means.

Estimates can help a new collector get some sense of ballpark, but then Heritage closed sales can do that as well. The big houses usually set the estimates pretty low to toy with us mortals.

15,250 for the Frazetta DD5 prelim I think is a record price for those prelims.

delete.

That is one of the nicest Frazetta sigs I have seen, certainly nicer than any of the SS sigs. If that right corner kills an 8.5 then what to make of this casing error https://comics.ha.com/itm/magazines/horror/creepy-6-warren-1965-cgc-nm-94-off-white-to-white-pages/a/121722-14731.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116

I prefer the CLink piece in almost every way, though I didn't catch the differences on the signatures. A similar prelim for the DD5 piece was being offered in the UK for around 11k GBP, which is about the same amount that the PIH piece sold for. That piece is gone from that website so I assume it sold.

Under Warren Presents, 4 Universal and 3 SS, 2 in 9.8. Man I love the cover...

That Ring of the Warlords, new to me, LOVE the Sanjulian cover. Does CGC NOT grade this particular issue?

So I have to break the silence here, but any thoughts on these green labels?? I couldn't see the money they brought with the associated risk and uncertainty.
