Blastaar

Simple as the title suggest. Post a pic of your favorite piece of OA (sketch, splash, pg, etc..) that you own or owned at one time and a pic of what you would love to own if money or semantics wasn't a factor. Changed my favorite as it is now a cool transition into Carnage page from the awesome Mike Perkins Carnage run. My Holy Grail, any Kirby Machine Man OA!

That is FANTASTIC! Congrats!

It's being shipped, should have it in a couple days. Seller assured me it was penciled, and you can vaguely see it run outside the border on Venom's arm.

Well I can still count my collection on two hands.....I'm sure you need to borrow some feet and hands. What would you put your collection number at?

So the options are digital, blue line, or pencils? And blue lines are still pencils...correct? It's just a blue pencil the artist uses that doesn't show up?

Just bought a OA and it was described as ink on pencils. My question is....how do they know? I attached another pic of OA for reference that shows someone selling both pencils and ink separately. How can I be sure a piece has both and not just the inks? Not sure what process each artist uses. Sorry if this has been brought up multiple times, new to the sight and not sure where to dig first.

Just snagged this cool Venom Splash. Leonard Kirk.

.....I lied. Pull the trigger on a Venom splash.....oh well I'll just need to start clearing off wall space. I mean how many pictures of your kids do you actually need???????? Leonard Kirk

Thanks for the great advice. Think I'll take the advice and save up for a Walt Simonson Rampaging Hulk pg. Always loved that work and magazine (first 9 or so).

Big fan of the silver and bronze like most everybody. Here is an example of what I have in my office. This is a Heck piece I recently acquired and put a nice frame around. Nothing terribly special about the page but it really looks good when framed. I have a soft spot for Heck as he was the workhorse for Marvel most of his life. Poor guy was still doing Kirby even in this panel.

Thanks! Little new to collecting OA but I'm already hooked. Starting out modest and building up from there.

I just had an artist refund a commission so I want to put it into a OA pg. Looking for something that would look nice framed as I hate stuffing art into a book or closet. It's not much too work with but for those pros who like to have fun looking for OA I would love to see what you can come up with. I am not picky at all. Spend for the artist name...sure, spend for the importance....sure, size of the splash...ok. Just would like to see cool options.

I just alerted them, again got it cheap but was not aware of the error until I read your post. Funny I just got it last night.

You are correct, this is a #36 reprint and not a number 8, the seller cut the pink out of the picture.

Just won this in auction for $21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to see some picks. Not easy to come by, covers are way tough to find.

Looks legit.

I have picked up a number of Stan Lee signed CGC's over the years. For a while I liked the idea of having his signature on a Spidey or FF4 but then I just started picking up ones that had nothing really to do with him. It's horrible I know but I was really getting them to most likely sell for a large profit upon his passing. That made me feel like and along with all this elder abuse allegations and the way he is being pushed around by his handlers I have slowly just started selling them off little to no profit. I've always been more of an artist guy than a Stan fan anyways, might keep one. My question is for those that have signed slabed CGC's of his signature, are you planning on capitalizing after he passes and selling them?

My first Don Heck!!!! H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu - One of his last published works.

Yes. You were in the wrong but be glad you didn't end up getting the commission. You would assosiate it with a bad situation every time you looked at it. I always pay all upront, give an idea of what I want but lead with I trust your artisistic eye, because that's what you are paying for.

Jahnoy Lindsay

Just discovered the work of Jahnoy Lindsay. Seems like he just started with Marvel and has been working on She-Hulk. Really dig his stuff. Original work is still affordable. Just picked up this Sabretooth.

Love that Captain America annual splash for $500, classic Kirby.

Is there a place to trade low priced original art with members? Did I just create it? If I am going about this wrong let me know, I'm new to the site. Looking to swap out the below for a panel, sketch, splash........any takers? Valued at under $100. Aaron Lopresti prelim cover for the final issue of Death of Hawkman. Will include the TPB seen below that contains the sketch. Also have an email from Aaron confirming if you need to see.

Find out waaaaay in advance when a movie/tv show is coming out featuring an obscure character. Buy a 9.6 or higher first appearance slab of said character, sell within a week of show/movie debut, profit.
