  1. I like Camscanner better than office lens as Office lens erased some lines from some art I scanned but CamScanner made it perfect
  2. Strange that no other dealers were set up in the show. I went in 2016 and I found Spencer Beck had set up and I couldn't leave without getting a David Finch Page from Batman Rebirth #1
  3. I reholdered a Wolverine Origins 3rd claw variant signed by Joe Quesada and they did it. I guess it really depends on the amount of damage to the slab and if it would be able to be opened and the book exchanged.
  4. So essentially they made a Gemini Mailer for Original Art. Must be very heavy and provide appropriate protection!
  5. It isn't signed? Did the guy you traded with acknowledge the provenance of the piece? I bought a Dell'Otto prelim directly from the artist rep and it was $400 but it also came signed by Dell'Otto be careful with fakes. I'm not saying this one looks like one but you never know.
  6. It got me to the gallery were 2 of those pieces are shown.
  7. The word grail as defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary: "the object of an extended or difficult quest", is there only one extended or difficult quest in life? I concur the word grail is not being inappropriately used.
  8. Weird that Coollines had pricing on everything. I thought they didn't price stuff so that when a customer approached them they would measure them and price accordingly, lol! Who buys from them anyways? I know I don't. I contacted them about a trade so they gave me a price on what they were trading but when I asked them lets put a price on what I am offering they never got back to me! lol, figures. *sigh* on those Sandman pages! One can only dream. I had to go back and look for that SS cover by Rogers! Its issue #1 but $25k? How much do you guys think would be a good price point for it? Nice cover!
  9. Thank you for that comment! It just reinforces my preconceived notion of why I don't post the part of my collection that I am not willing to part with! I used to upload all of the art I purchased on CAF but I stopped after a trade. I traded four pieces of art in my collection for a published painted cover I wanted. I was able to make that deal because a dealer contacted me informing that they really wanted one of those pieces in their collection. I regretted the trade as soon as I got the piece I was to receive. Since then I decided that I would not publish any of the art I own that I am not willing to part with. I was even more bummed when I saw that even the piece the art dealer said he "wanted for his collection" was put up for sale for a price higher than the piece I obtained in the trade. No more of that for me! I do share my art with a small group of art collectors that I am a part of and enjoy doing it there because I can feel safe that I won't be hounded to trade or sell my precious pieces. When I die, whoever gets my art (my daughter most probably, can share it, put it on Heritage or just throw it away if she wants) but for the meantime while I'm curating the pieces I won't share them on CAF. Talking about CAF I hate the part were they ask you were you got your piece of art and the price you paid. I really don't think any one person or organization should have that information so I always write silly stuff there (like one million dollars!, lol)
  10. It was only 2 boxes and the seller is now implying that I bent the art to get him to partially refund my payment. Lol, why would I bent the art I want for my own collection?
  11. Maybe I guess everyone here makes valid points. I myself just collect what I like and like to trade up whenever I can.
  12. I just received a package that was packed with the priority boxes and the art was bent. I don't think that is the safest way to pack.
  13. Its more different opinions of what the Claremont/Byrne run meant to the comic community. The only information about the book is that it features art from every issue of his run except for one book. I would have liked if it mentioned how many pages were featured from each issue but overall this book must be a great one! A definite must have for Byrne fans!
  14. Are you keeping the stats off the art? I wouldbe sooo nervous to touch art this valuable!
  15. You can also see that it has no word ballons on it and most art from that time perios does so all art could be also more attractive.
  16. I really don't drink coffee and if I would, Starbucks would be the last place I would buy it from. I'd start with the coffee from my coffee plantation, lol. I know it doesn't seem high for some people but I really don't use CAF much as I barely have 20% of my collection exhibited. I prefer to keep for myself the art I am not willing to trade or sell to avoid the temptation of doing so. As for the price of buying both Premium and Market Data that is the same as if you were to acquire them separately, nobody here thinks that when you buy more than 1 product (of only 2 offered by them) that a discount should be applied to entice more sales? Again I have a lot of art to move around but I don't publish all of mine. Just mostly interested in publishing the art I would be willing to sell/trade. Basically it would mean that I would be using CAF as a vehicle to increase sales/trades and that they might be entitled to my patronage which as per my post I am thinking of providing but as an OA collector most of us should know that funds are limited when you collect OA, lol.
  17. I wanted to ask if anybody here knows if Comic Art Fans Premium Membership ever offers a discount on their Premium Membership and Market Data Subscriber services during the year? I would like to become a patron but find the cost a little cost prohibitive as it will lower my OA available funds but would do it if a discount is offered during Christmas or at other times.
  18. His art is worth a lot because it is definitely high class art. I'll share this one with you. At the time I purchased it, it was the highest price I ever had paid for art but I knew it would be totally worth it as time went by. I think I wasn't mistaken.
  19. Would you care to let us know who the rep was? This might help those that will deal with the rep in order to act accordingly. Txs
  20. What are archival thin bags? You mean 2 mm mylar or what? And now I am thinking why I've never discussed this with you!
  21. you can always PM a serious offer doesn't hurt if you really would like to get one, worst is I can say is no.
