No, you do not get reproduction rights with the commission. the artist retains those rights, they can pitch it without your knowledge or permission I believe

this would be different with an original character you created obviously, you still can't pitch it though unless commission contract specifies so

Thanks. What made me think of it was this great commission that somebody had from Neal that turned into a Cover for Detective 1000. It worked out that Neal ended up optioning it as a cover while he was working on it and then gave it to the individual. I was just thinking if it was the other way around and if someone was sitting on a great commission, would they be able to option it? 
 

If you purchase a commission that is cover worthy can you option it for a cover?

Best Wishes. 
 

To finish this horse off. In this instance I said either a full refund with me returning the print or a discount of $100 and I’ll keep. The choice is in your hands and I will leave a positive review on either option. 
 

By offering to take a discount he avoids paying again for shipping and does not have to try and resell a damaged item. Win win in my eyes. don’t see that as being opportunistic, just open to solutions that are mutually beneficial. 
 

Guy was nice enough to knock $100 off. Both happy leaving a positive review, but gave him some packing tips.

What kind of person ships like that? That is horrific. 

Ya I know. Maybe it’s because I am used to shipping and receiving original art but it wouldn’t even cross my mind to roll. The paper quality is actually thick so just rolling it destroys the piece. Just odd. The seller is being very responsive and we are working out a solution.  Hey we all have to learn. I remember the first time I shipped three omnibus.  Put all three in the same box with loose space.  Box arrived flat…books are somewhere traveling through time and space.

Totally disagree. I've been buying and selling on eBay for 20 years. It's common place. Since this is due to the seller's poor packing. What's important here is making the buyer happy again after a huge let down out of his or her control.

I've done business with Blastaar too and he's one of the best here on the boards

Aww shucks, thanks. The partial refund I don't believe is a poor choice. For me...and perhaps others..it makes things easier to swallow. Say you get a cgc from someone and it arrives with a crack on the back. Now I would still love the comic and if I keep it then there is now real issue, but if I ever decide to sell it I will never get close to the value I paid. 

Really nice pencil sketch from Neal for a remarque. Pretty bummed for both us. 

I was polite and showed him all the pictures. Asked for a full refund if possible, including return shippin....or a partial refund (half?) and I keep. I think that's fair. I'm good with either, we will see.

Agreed. Also, a productive, non-combative note to the seller about upgrading his tubes could be useful. I mean, people should know how to ship - but on the other hand, some people need to get some bad experiences to fine tune their shipping methods too.

Agreed. I always ship flat and the more layers the better. 

Picked up a poster with a Batman sketch that Neal did on eBay. Description says no returns. What would you do?

How it looked listed.

How I received it.

Never realized how much yellow was incorporated into the early ASM issues.
