Totally quit on the foreground ☹️ …Hoffman wouldn’t have.

Ian Gibson, early Dredd. Covers are wonderful, but sequential art really means panel pages.

Interesting gadget, I didn’t know you could “press” furniture…

Or…someone could grab the CominlinkRulez.com url and then just fill it with quotes attributed to original sources and jam it up with Google Adsense clickbait 😉

Nah, I just need to be better than you, low bar 'n all

Not if it’s just in your mind and you don’t discuss… Edit: BTW I’m in this situation near daily with several friends. They do what they do but I’m always upfront about where my natural bid caps (letting them know they would need to be ready to go higher, np), if at all, or remain silent and bid my honest intention, same difference. They all know this about me, that my words and bids are always upfront and honest, that I don’t and won’t step aside or add bids to help a consignment or add pain to rivals, that I will bid up to my number though in anything of interest: all understood, no big deal, no messy divorces 😘

Indeed, but also against Board rules (all boards actually, except Dark Web 😉) to solicit likely illegal activity…

So…it’s okay if I bang your wife only occasionally as long as I don’t charge for it and we’re all friends?

Keep lying to yourself 😂

Sorry to throw cold water on all this budding camaraderie but collusion rings can be illegal and most would agree are immoral…when others do it to them 😉 https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bidding-ring.asp

Nope.

Fixed?

Unforgivable swipe.

The way I heard it was that he liquidated his retirement account to take down a large part of the Tony Christoper Collection.

They sure were. A few years before Conrad won a bill lot of Sal, 150 or more pieces -incl covers/splashes from Sotheby’s for around $1200 iirc. That’s what we were overpaying for 3 years later. The market knew, that stuff sat for years at his prices, even with me picking up 3-5 every Boston con!

Thanks for posting this Gene. Conrad was a character, for sure, but always and certainly - honest, fair, and willing to dicker favorably to all on prices if you wanted to get several at once. His word was his bond, and I never had a single issue with him or his business practices; there are very few others I can write that about. Even though only 1% of my collection by piece count came to me through him, they probably represents 25% of my overall gross value today…and that’s because he had art I wanted at a price I could pay and he never changed the rules after the fact or reneged, meaning I never had to cut him off - from my future business. He was a great guy and a real credit to “dealers” who mostly, and deservedly, have a relatively weak reputation.

Never. Everybody knows that “tape” is the unforgivable sin 😉

That collector did very well on it too!

Er, like this? Or this? That’s two. I can keep going, quite a few more and that’s just what’s on board and/or unframed…if there’s interest 😉 And is nearly immaterial in art collecting if priced correctly 🥰

Nice win Devin dougherty You should just keep it. Too nice to flip.

You’re describing three bidders, and the top bowed out. It and his opinion matters, obviously. What of it?

It only matters if it matters to the top two bidders, all the rest, and their opinions are immaterial. On top material, of course.

Still…not the standard 30% drag that Heritage attaches…

Not PayPal any longer, eBay has their own internal processor -still fees are the same or higher.

That’s be the whitewash/propaganda version 🥳
