Shh 🤫 🤐

Who is he?

More often, the opposite is true.

I only know about reducing the buyers premium as a consignor. my sales are through HA only and over the years, as my sales hit higher cumulative totals, I would occasionally reach out to HA and negotiate better terms for myself. others have sold far more and have negotiated even better rates than I thought were imaginable. Gives me incentive to continue selling through HA i approached clink with similar requests to lower their consignors rates on multiple occasions, whereby I would consign more/higher priced items with them. They wouldn’t budge, let alone entertain a dialogue.

Thanks for your quick and thoughtful response. I’m glad you had the success you did with the various sales venues. My experiences were/are vastly different

I think that's fantastic to hear, and its nice that your registry sets sold well. Did you sell similar books in similar grades at clink and at HA to compare results? When did you sell the books? Ive done it both with slabbed books and original comic art for years. I stopped selling on clink nearly 10 years ago when I noticed HA results consistently performed better than clink (and yes, that's after all seller fees were taken into account). I stand by what I stated previously: clink is a great place to buy, lousy place to sell.

It would be embarrassing to show their results vs sales from other auction houses

I realize $5K may be a lot of money to some folks, but it doesn’t require a lot of books (Modern, Copper, Bronze) to achieve the minimum threshold to sell on HA. after a few auctions, I think a consignor will have HA’s attention to negotiate the % rates, with the incentive that more consignments would be forthcoming

Just to correct a few things stated in your post: 1. the HA sellers fee is 20%. Has been for some time now. Likewise, the buyers fee is also 20% 2. I know several folks who have negotiated a much lower fee with HA, some have actually negotiated 0% sellers fee! 3. The HA buyers premium- it may surprise you to know that the 20% buyers premium isn’t always in play. There are several ways that folks have negotiated this down to a reduced % 4. HA’s customer base is far more expansive than Clink’s 5. clinks website functionality and user-friendliness seems as though it was created by a teenage living in his parents basement…and it hasn’t been upgraded since launch. On the flip side, HA’s site features, user friendliness, etc are far superior 6. In general, you pay more for consigning with HA, but it’s a small price to pay for the benefits received 7. Given the aforementioned, clink is a great place to buy, but a lousy place to sell (unless you feel like leaving money on the table)

The amount of quality pieces added over the two two weeks has been incredible. This auction has artwork to fulfill everyone’s collecting interests!

Terrificon is rapidly growing into a similar type of show as Heroes.

Now this is a show worth going to!

Try to review the dealer list/location (if available) in advance of the show. look for dealers who do not do the con circuit frequently as their inventory probably hasn’t been picked over (at shows and on their websites), and they are more likely to deal and work with you. at least, that’s been my experience. another point- if the show offers early admission for a fee, take it! It’s totally worthwhile to be one of the first at the show with early access to the books, and less crowded

Paul Smith is one of the very few creators on my bucket list. He was supposed to be at the Motorcity con in the early 2000’s, but couldn’t make it due to inclement weather. Marie Severin was supposed to be at that show, too, but likewise cancelled due to the weather. I never had the opportunity to meet this talented lady, but I’ve heard about so many good experiences from others who met her.

Not surprised by the Steranko story at all. had a negative experience with him at the Motorcity comicon nearly 20 years. It was the only bad experience I’ve ever had with a creator.

Aside from numerous UG pages and covers, there’s probably a half dozen or so pages from Preacher that qualify…things being done to chickens, catfish, and um, sausages and other meats.

Ending today at approximately 7PM Eastern time

Sadly, never had the opportunity to meet Dave Stevens in person. I was lucky enough to meet Marshall Rogers shortly before his passing, and even though he did look like The Joker, he was warm, witty, and a fantastic storyteller. Likewise, I got to meet my favourite artist of all time, Al Williamson at a Pittsburgh con in the early-2000’s. He was awesome and although we only spent a few hours together, we clicked and it’s as if we had known each other for decades.

Thanks for the clear scans, Felix. I’m neither a buyer or seller, fan or hater of Tradd’s artwork. What I do see in his artwork is something new, yet familiar and if I had to describe his style to someone, I’d say it’s an amalgamation of Beatles yellow submarine animated artwork with Gulacy and P. Craig Russell, and if i squint really hard, I can also see a bit of Steranko. your mileage may vary, but that’s what I see 🤔

Just. Wow.

The most common source dealers use is whichever one is most beneficial to them for either buying or selling, depending on the book(s) in question
