While we are waiting for HA, ComicLink, ComicConnect, and any of the other auction houses (Profiles? Russ Cochran? All Star?) to send out lists of lots consigned by Romitaman... I looked at his ebay Store and he doesn't seem to have any auction-style listings running currently or recently. Has anyone won an auction-style listing from romitaman on ebay in the past that they would consider reporting to ebay's Customer Service? If so, please send them the link to his admission of shilling on the other thread.

I don't think there is any way to determine which pieces were shilled outside of the shillers stepping forward. So I want to see a list released from each auction house of ALL the pages consigned by this seller.

I bought some promo posters that were impeccably packed. I would definitely do business with Anthony again.

Hi Bill, Thanks for the clarifying post. I imagine it goes a long way towards calming anyone's fears about possible reactionary policies - however imagined they might be. Perhaps a slight revision to the wording in your boilerplate reply to a situation like this... that the gallery "shut down" is only temporary until the dispute is resolved, but is not a permanent ban on the affected parties' accounts. I think it is quite easy to read "shut down" as a permanent exile, particularly in a moment of stress on the scam victim's part. If your emails in disputes already include such language, please ignore the above. Since your amazing site is one of the three major hubs of the OA community (the others being this forum and the Comic-Art L group), nobody wants to get locked out of there unduly! :-) Thanks again for CAF!

Never mind. The quality of these is bad. The perforations are too heavy on the folds and they crack and fall apart. Off to find another vendor.

http://www.reliablepaper.com/12_1_8_x_9_1_8_x_1_White_Corrugated_Bookfolds_p/rpsm1291.htm Just refreshed my stock in these mailers. This was the best price I could find online. These are very versatile. I usually also put a piece of corrugated on each side of the books and then place them in here.

Mad Love is a key book and won an Eisner. Also, Harley is beyond huge. And Timm is not just talented... His Batman was voted the most popular rendition of the character. Over Adams, Aparo, Rogers, Lee, etc. (somebody help me with a citation?! )

There's been boxes of MTG originals at Illuxcon in past years. I can't recall particular artists, but the show is this weekend in PA.

Hey Bob, I am available to sign those adoption papers whenever you're ready.

I'm dying to know where in your house you are going to hang it! Maybe not in the bedroom. :-) Great purchase.

Totleben's Miraclewoman in this reminds me of Virgil Finlay. I wonder if that was on purpose.

Stunning page. Patience pays off!

I like the arrangement. And the bat-signal is a nice touch too!

I haven't tried them yet on our own brick wall in the bedroom, but I was looking at some of these brass brick clips- http://brickclip.com/ Careful what you wish for... my wife's original art tastes are much more expensive than mine!

JSA 9 p18 I'm very happy to finally have a page from this great series. Sadowski's acting and composition really captured the drama of this moment in the story. Bair's inking is even more gorgeous in person. Thanks to the ebay seller. It might just be ornamentation, but I think that may be Jade's logo around the bottom panel?

My wife and I finally got some pieces up on the wall in the office/den. The plan was to keep this cheap. (After all, we'd rather spend the money on more art!) Also, we wanted frames that were easily opened so we could rotate new acquisitions up onto the wall. We found these guys online- http://www.wholesaleposterframes.com 10 Poster Frame • Profile: D • Color: Satin Black • Cover: UV Clear Lens Cover • Backing: Acid Free Foamcore • Size: 13 x 19 We also looked at the Bags Unlimited 13x19 package which was very close in price and features- https://www.bagsunlimited.com/c-200-frames.aspx We added a piece of Gerber mylar just behind the poly that came with the frames. Then we floated each page in mylar stick-on corners on a second piece or Gerber mylar. Lineco Mylar corners- http://www.dickblick.com/products/lineco-archival-mounting-corners/ Gerber Item 1422L- http://www.egerber.com/category.asp?CategoryID=450&SubcategoryID=560 Floating was necessary for the quick swap. Trying to mat each page would have been problematic with all of the subtle variations in size, cut edges, etc. And we went with 13x19 in case we want to swap in color convention prints at some point. We cut half-inch strips of archival foamcore to create a thin spacer all around the edges. This goes between the two pieces of mylar, keeping the sandwich from pressing against the art. The glare is a bit more than I would like, but I feel like we have decent UV protection as a trade-off. Also, we don't plan on leaving a set of pages up for too long. The assembly was really easy. The only labor intensive steps were cutting the Gerber mylar to 13x19 sheets (at the local Kinkos paper cutter) and then cutting the 1/2" foamcore strips. Cutting the strips was a definite pain. You have to go slow and use a very sharp utility knife down a straight edge -- 10 frames x 4 sides = 40 strips! Up first- 3 Bagley Ultimate Spider-Man pages, 2 Tony Daniel Flash pages (since we are digging the new show!), and our 5 Breyfogle Batman pages (trying to show a bit of solidarity for Norm's recent health challenges) Overall, I am enjoying the artwork up on the walls more than sitting in portfolios. I wish we had put the time in to do this sooner!
