  1. It's not restoration per se drawing frowns. Its the non disclosure of restoration and the allowing of pressing to improve a books appearance but not call that restoration
  2. Agreed. this was a nice check the box page for a collector. I would always want a better page so I laid off.
  3. Control freak. Love the guy though and this letter is humorous + a bunch.
  4. Cabbage soup Only for grape ape makes him bitter and H8. But the pounds shed quickly!!!
  5. I’m very pleased for you my friend. I just think this is super with Snoopy and a baseball theme. Schulz just the best. 🍇 🦍
  6. An anti bidding Corgi! Here I come to save the day!!!!!!It wasn’t meant to be this time buddy
  7. I really appreciate your diligence buddy. I worry about our newer collectors. The desire to “score” and join the club can override common sense. Inexperience leads to regret. For newer collectors please go slow and consider buying from dealers and auction houses you can trust to have authentic art work. We talk about them all the time on the boards. You might pay more but you’ll pay for the real thing. 🍇 🦍
  8. $20,400 hammer (D) Drussila = 1 (DMV) = Donnelly Market Value (DD) = 2(2500)=5000 (DMV) = (11320) or 2 to 3 times everyone else’s fair market value (BP) 20 % So 1 x 5000 + 11,320 = $16,320 x 20% = $20,400
  9. Yeah some unsold items. Bigger pieces will continue to go to HA. Opening day come on already.... #LFGM
  10. This one seems like a steal to me at 2 K sold. I like as many auctions available to bring out the art. So long as they are done professionally.
  11. What were the art samples they had for sale?
  12. These pages in person are examples of the very best comic art has to offer. What a monster addition to your collection. Congratulations!!! 🍇 🦍
  13. Haha yeah it was made just for this HA moment. Nice auction offerings but bidders did not throw money at the reserves today. All of this info means something. I’m trying to remember it’s about fun and the art. you can’t help think about the future of this thing of ours though.
  14. $102 K with BP and without Hobbes great piece though
  15. That would make me sad. At least I have a chance at a Peanuts.
  16. Sold $60 K It wasn’t that long ago that the cover was listed at $65 K with Albert Moy. So how much is that worth now?
  17. Brunner Sink Buscema Adi Full disclosure to the Sal Buscema cult please know that my choice of Bruner over Sal is merely an educated guess. it is in no way meant to besmirch Sals legendary status and place in the top five of all time comic artists. I sincerely insist you do not send me to re-education class.
  18. hey..... next time I sell with HA they can feel free to trip the reserve. At 52 and sinking I’d enjoy the foreplay.
  19. Wow this looks very promising. Grapeape needs to take a closer look. I see potential. Thanks for posting and of course 2 + 2 = 5 and don’t eat any fake plastic trees!!!! 🍇 🦍
