Here are my choices. Thanks for looking! https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerybestofyr.asp?yr=2023&gcat=128250

2 pieces from, I assume, the original Sotheby's auction are up at comiclink for next month. Looks like one has been inked sometime since. Any new revelations? https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2023may%26itemtype%3D1%26pg%3D3%26x%3D33%26y%3D21%23Item_1670418&id=1670418&itemType=1 https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2023may%26itemtype%3D1%26pg%3D3%26x%3D33%26y%3D21%23Item_1670419&id=1670419&itemType=1

Bump! Added art from DWJ (Wonder Woman: Dead Earth), Ian Bertram (Little Bird), and a Tradd Moore Illustration. Need to pay for Heritage.

Motivated to move all these pieces to help fund a big acquisition. Free shipping in the US for board members. Just tell me you saw it on CGC Board. https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=194436

Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's available to watch on Netflix now should you be interested.

Won this piece. Not cheap and don't expect to have much of a collection of this stuff but couldn't resist having a great visual piece from my favorite anime. Maybe another piece from my 2nd favorite anime and I'd be done.

This is a bizarre reaction. Lmao. If you're a big fan that wants a commission badly, why would not getting one cause you to sell off everything you own by the artist you're a fan of???

Which page?

Wholeheartedly agree. I've been hounding Rolex, Rolls Royce, The Louvre and Musee D'Orsay about this exact thing for while! I'm a true fan of those items and they should really start some sort of program to get these goods to a few of us. All I want is a nice submariner and a Van Gogh or Monet. Funny how being an institution shields you from these judgements that are cavalierly thrown at individual artists. If you do this, you are a high "character" individual, if not, scumbag. Many artists do a ton of high quality free things for fans, already. As far as personal commissions or published pages, all these things are attainable just not instantly for all.

This owner has some Diamond hands!

My opinion but I think it's acceptable to try and keep OA as close to the original condition/look as possible so in the case of your image, there was clearly text pasted on to create the word balloons. As long as you aren't changing the original image or adding word balloons that weren't ever there, it's acceptable, to me, to try and maintain as much fidelity with the original piece for the sake of conservation.

Not sure that it fits the time period but I see that as Erik Larsen's signature

Assuming you're talking about the Miller DKR anniversary cover from comicconnect @ 175k. Head scratcher for me. https://www.comicconnect.com/item/902240?tzf=1

Easiest thing to do is subscribe to the channel on YouTube and you can set alerts to inform you of new videos. Bill usually gives a couple days (at least) notice of upcoming shows/videos. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCYljwk2DLVK8K67u7NPOgEA

Disagree re: friend+family. As a buyer, I've encountered no issues and am generally way less concerned about a seller coming through. Obviously, cannot apply to all cases, but I am able to look at a seller's gallery and at get a minimal idea of whether they've transacted with others. The risk to an established seller or collector reputation for not coming through on a sale is high. As a seller, I'm more concerned with a buyer potentially reversing a transaction. This is more the case with buyers with possibly new accounts or less art in their gallery. So what are the options? Either do not sell to anyone new without a larger gallery presence or protect yourself with friends+family or check/wire. I'm of the belief that there is an influx of new participants in the hobby. Many with recent CAF accounts, and little to no art that his shared. These are cases where it's reasonable for them to have to prove it and establish some sort of social credit. I'd love to get an idea of buyers that have been screwed when buying with friends+family vs. sellers getting screwed with reversed charges on good/services.
