    The Official The Walking Dead Discussion Thread

    I know you guys have talked about this before but why is Tony Moore so antifan. Seems like the better the show and comics do,the more he hates dealing with collectors. He should just take his web page down so new collectors like me don't waste our time.I really like his work but one day its going to back fire on him the way he treats people. I hear more and more bad things about him. Who finger stired his lemonade?

     

    What was your experience with him? cgcworld and Jerry S both had positive experiences with him.

    Such a shame. I ordered none so I have no horse in this race but I have followed this throughout the day and this course of events is a real shame.

     

    Kudos to you Menace, you tried to do right by people but you can never make everyone happy.

    Supersnipe Comic Art Gallery

    Thanks for starting this thread. I first learned about Supersnipe from an old ad in a '70s fanzine. Been curious about them since, but there's very little information available on the web.

     

    As an aside, the original painting to the Howard Chaykin STAR WARS poster from San Diego Comic-Con 1976 you mention in the Rebelscum thread, was listed in a late-'70s OA catalog (one of the Jim Steranko/Joe Parente catalogs, iirc) for $750.

     

    Best of luck with your research.

     

    Felix maybe you can provide more specific details?

     

    From a follow up post on Rebelscum:

    I've actually now got the first three volumes of the Steranko/Parente catalogs (1977, 78, 79) and none contain the Chaykin poster artwork mentioned in Nexus' post. One does contain Chaykin pages from SW, though. Bummed -- I dropped a few bucks to get the '77 volume

    A lot of people would like to know where Hsu's Adventurers #1 cover wound up. I believe #8 was auctioned off by Heritage a year or two ago but was not identified correctly and fell under the radar. Perhaps someone else can clarify.

     

    There's a guy who is a huge Deadpool fan that has a website and he acquired the NM #98 cover many years ago. It was on his website. If you do a bit of googling, I'm sure you'll find it.

     

    I would imagine that he's gotten some insane offers for it and perhaps he's even sold it privately.

     

    Well, look who and what showed up...

    If he hasn't gotten some insane offers before, he certainly will now...

    PROBATION DISCUSSIONS

    in Marketplace Probations

    Posted

    In my opinion, HOS should be for those who 1) stole money from a transaction [sold but never delivered or delivered fraudulently] or 2) are repeat offenders. I think deal breakers should be probation list material.

     

    I agree with #2 which is why I suggested if other people experienced the same thing (as implied in that thread) they should bring it up here.

     

    The problem is that I have had others PM or email me and tell me that he has done the same thing to them but no one else has volunteered the info either because they don't care to or because they are not board members. So should someone be protected from the HOS list because others don't come forward? Or can the fact that so many people nominated him factor into the decision?

     

    In the end, I'm not sure it matters because I think simply keeping him on The Probation List has been effective and should hopefully keep him away regardless.

    I have not been very involved in HOS/Probation list discussions so I dont have a good feel for what is/isnt worthy of the HOS upgrade.

     

    Posting dog balls in threads seems to be a one way ticket lol

     

    On a more on topic note. It would certainly seem to me that JMG's actions indicate he isn't going to change his tune or his behavior any time soon.

     

    I support this as well. Again, I have been made aware of a pattern of behavior so I'm not the only person he has done this to. If you see the thread, others actually nominated him as well. Please also note that consistent with his prior behavior in changing his name, when the thread did not go as he planned, he changed the title and removed the piece from being for sale. But I thought it was rather brilliant the way he changed his first post to still indicate that he had a Superman cover for sale if anyone y'know, wanted to PM him to inquire about it.

     

    And again, I think the entire thread is a great example of The Probation List in action.

    I wanted to bring everyone's attention to this thread. It's a great example of the Probation List at work. JMG initially came on the Original Art Marketplace forum to sell a Jim Lee Superman cover but then changed the title of the thread after all of the responses.

    JMG formerly Crees Tyler has been nominated by others for the Hall of Shame in the above cited thread. This is a nomination that I support as well.

    Has anyone been able to get in touch with Tony or Kara? Anyone help me contact them? I had a few deals in place..

     

    Sorry but they are dead to me. Charlie Adlard is the only artist I will ever acknowledge going forward as having worked on The Walking Dead in this thread.

     

    :sorry:

    While I understand the uproar, that reaction is very typical of what happens when any asking price increases. With the sheer volume of pages that Mark has sold recently, I would imagine that the reasoning on these pages is to price aggressively and let the pages sell as they may, rather than to under price and sell through everything only to then see them on eBay.

     

    I would also add that he can always test the market and then lower his prices if they don't sell. It's much easier to do that than to raise them.

    So Dem, did you buy that #33 page 3 from ebay or was you selling it?

     

    No I'm not German, but I did have a little fun with you Jerry.

     

    buddymagoo - are you referring to page 2? I bought it and it wasn't easy as the seller had significant offers from multiple people and it seemed almost a certainty that someone was going to get it off of eBay.

     

    Seeing as I had the other 4 pages in the sequence, I'm happy that I was able to get it and appreciate the seller choosing to sell it to me. I bought pages 3 - 5 a while ago because I loved that issue and the owner only wanted to sell the 3 as a set. When I had those three pages in hand, I thought they were much better in person and became interested in buying other pages from the sequence. Page 1 showed up a few months ago and I was able to secure that page but I never really thought page 2 would show up and certainly not so soon after page 1 did. Looking back, if I had not purchased page 1, I probably would have kicked myself seeing how quickly page 2 showed up, so I'm glad I did even though it wasn't with the intention of finding page 2. I bought page 1 because I really think these pages are "special." When page 2 showed up, I was really excited but securing that page was fortuitous. In the end, these pages have literally come from all over the world to come back together and I think they make an incredible sequence. It was also really cool to see them play out in some way in last nights episode!
