  1. Hey Team I recently bought a few pages myself but figured I would share the love and spread the good word Michal is letting go of his pages he did for Catwoman and a few other stories and if you like the Jim Balent style Michal has a pretty good spin. Full discloser this is not my ebay account nor do I know either personally just had a really nice experience and love the art!
     

    Here is a page for sale and there are others listed in the eBay store:https://www.ebay.com/itm/364390130543?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bRutZJsGQ-a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=l1XPYyskR-2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    I thought the first appearance of Jesus was the final splash page in #91. But I looked at the auction listing, and Heritage makes the point that its the first "full appearance". You can see his mouth and chin here. Interesting characterization by the auction house.

     

    Yeah this is the first time you can actually see the character 91 is considered a cameo but totally get your point!

  3. Hey Team,

    Decided to let his this Splash of the first appearance of Jesus go. These types of WD pages are tough to find but I essentially displaying it and I felt it needs to go somewhere to get some love I also added some high value pages and you know how that goes.

    Good luck!

  4. Hey Team,

    decided to let this beauty go to add another page. Added some early tank girl pages. This page was featured as a spot light page for Bret Blevins during a CAF showcase as well.

    this has Donnely's written all over it....they consigned another fake stat and overlay special (allegedly) - effectively laundered this fraud through HA like they've been doing for the past 5 years (allegedly), where the auction house effectively obscures all provenance so that wary buyers WHO KNOW BETTER or just plain ignore any and all Donnely art. unknowingly pay for this fake. IF the name of the consigner was known in most auctions (like they are with BIG consigners (from the Estate of... from the Collection of....where it's a selling point) these would get a lot fewer bids. HA is effectively a co-conspirator (allegedly). They aren't that stupid, (allegedly?!?!?) and ignorance is not a defense.

    How is this HA a co conspirator they call out every aspect from stat to restoration I think they did a great job letting the buyer know what they are getting… I would say you can’t get much more transparent

  6. Used a eraser got most off the real bad sticky stuff off enough to where it will not not stick what we was on the back didn’t damage it for the last 30 years so figure the next 30 should be ok :) thanks for all the input would restore it if the piece appreciates in value more to make it worth it but seems to be ok now… the eraser did leave some marks in the sense certain areas do look cleaners then others but I don’t think anyone would care much if I ever decided to let it go

    Is this a lower value page? and there is still some stickiness you want to get rid of? try rubbing it with an eraser.

    If it is an expensive page, get a conservator.

    Yeah it’s an expensive page early tank girl 

  8. Hello,

    I recently acquired a page that some has had poorly framed for over 30 years. The back is stick as it was stuck to what I believe was just regular large craft paper. Lucky it came off with only minor damage to the back of the art board. I am curious if anyone know any tricks to get the remaining stickiness off of the board. Also if there is not a good way any recommendations of what kind of backing to use to frame to do the least damage to the piece going forward? Appreciate the help!

    Comic Connect mailed me a label and said it would be covered under their own shipping insurance for the agreed upon appraisal price. Just curious how that would play out in real life as you would assume these auction houses have solid relationships with the insurance companies. Dealing with USPS insurance has been a nightmare for low dollar amounts. 

    From my understanding HA only covers if you ship fedex which for sad reasons like the above… again do not use usps for anything if value even if insured I have had to man loses on smaller items could not imagine using them for anything above 1k 

  10. I know we were chatting about the hush cover going a little light but then have a splashing hush page going for about the same as that cover so I think hush art is doing just fine :) maybe people were scared away thinking a hush cover that’s going to be 80-100k and that may have scared way some bidders who knows… but that semi splash page at over 50k seems like a strong result.
