I thought last round would be my worse one but no it had to be this last round. I got an awful 13 points on this one throwing me out with a total of 37 points. I really need to go to that grading seminar!

Grades in. I hope I fair better than last round. 

my worst round. HtD cannot be a 9.6 with multiple color breaking creases, back was also dirty. this book killed me. I'm finding out that the worst part of my grading skills is determining 9.4 or above grades.

Done. I am trusting my instinct and only changed 1 grade after seeing the lower part of the image. Let's see it I can improve my score and hit some bullseye grades!

Did better overall this round with 6 points but after 8 last round overall have 14 points. No bullseye this round.

my grades are in

Got a score of 8, think I was to severe on the foreign and the Batman (to many pieces missing for me).

that 4th book was the hardest to pin my grade on. Good luck to all

Where's Spidey?

 

if Spidey was in the page it would certainly be priced well above the stated asking price.

The Ditko would do very well in auction. Your best bet is getting them into Heritage's Signature auction were they will get the best return. PM if you need assistance contacting a Heritage assistant to value your pieces so that you may decide what you wish to sell.

nice!

Sorry guys, we've reached the 350 cap. Competition is full. 

So it was going to be capped at 350 but they allowed 354, why not allow more? I'm betting they want to hire graders why not get in as many as possible?

Jim is his go to person. I contacted him when I bought his whiteout cover

Can I still participate or is it closed already? I didn't see the timeline in the rules.

Can I participate? I didn't read the email 2 days ago but I wish to get in the contest.

I think it is interesting to see that most of the highest value sales have come from Heritage, no Comiclink, Hake's or ComicConnect. This definitely reassures sellers that they have one of the best if not the best venue to sell art.

Nothing like seeing high-res scans of pieces of art to motivate bidders!

Good afternoon:

Just wanted to let other forum members and Original Art Collectors that I have the following pieces of art consigned to Heritage's Signature Auction ending next week:

• Locke & Key Alpha Issue 2 Cover art by Simon Bisley. This is a fabulous painted piece from the hit comic and TV show Locke & Key. Art from this series is hard to come by and barely makes it to the market so this is a perfect chance to grab a perfect example. Simon Bisley PAINTED Locke & Key: Alpha #2 Variant Cover Original Art (IDW, 2013)
• Shattered Image Issue 4 Pages 02 & 03 Double Page Splash art by Tony Daniel. The series that spit Image Comics and left Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios out of Image comics, doesn't get more epic than this. Features characters from Gen 13, Savage Dragon, Cyberforce and Team 7 and is one that fans of Image comics will not want to miss! Tony Daniel and Kevin Conrad Shattered Image #4 Double Splash Page 2-3 Original Art (Image, 1996)
• Amazing Fantasy Issue 06 pages 08 & 10. This piece of paper features not 1 but 2 pages of art featuring Anya Corazon aka as Araña aka Spider-Girl. With the imminent release of Across the Spider-Verse Part 1 animated movie now is the perfect time to stock up on pages featuring characters related to Spider-Man. Just imagine this, what if Anya appears in the movie and becomes a Miles Morales love interest rivaling Ghost Spider? You'll definitely regret not getting in on the ground floor of an early page featuring here and featuring incredible art by Mark Brooks! Mark Brooks, Jaime Mendoza, and Victor Olazaba Amazing Fantasy #6 Story Pages 8 and 10 Original Art (Marvel, 2005)

All lots are ending on Sunday January 16th which is next weekend. Good luck to those how want a shot at these pages. Thanks for looking!

I see myself buying less and less comics and increasing my original art purchases. I have the added trouble to be located outside of the USA and have completely stopped selling items on ebay as I don't have a US Bank account for ebay to deposit my payouts so in a way my hobby revenue has already been affected.
