Yeah Thats what I said isnt it

I think Anthony is a special case because he has a retail comic book store in addition to the warehouse we usually see him in

Might be a good idea to archive these listings or screenshot them at the least

Click rewards (it's between Campaign and FAQ in the header), the add-ons for each pledge tier will be on the right

Sir, with all due respect. This is a comic forum, not a Wendy's back alley.

Even the comics?

If you think something that's not necessarily a comic would be good then maybe an original art page with Cap on it?

The character looks like Luxura from Vamperotica, so I'd start researching there. I did some quick searching and can't find that Ron Adrian ever did any published work for that series but I didn't dig deep, could be a pin-up from a book somewhere potentially

Oh the misery, everybody wants to be my NMe.

I guess the answer is yes

Anyone else experiencing Fatigue Fatigue

If you find out, can you tell me how to order trading cards from CGC Trading Cards, and video games from CGC Video Games. It seems like they're just standardizing the logo to match the ones for those other CGC services since having CGC alone can refer to about 4 different services now.

Don't you get depressed preaching this in almost every thread?

To expand a bit on what I mean here, initially I came into this with the thought that people were buying this art at these insanely high prices because they just really liked the art/artist and were ok at buying them at these prices regardless of their potential as investments. And that's ok if that's what they did. Then I was presented with some information that makes me think it's reasonable for people to feel that these do have merit as investments too and it's not completely out of line for people to buy into this thinking "I really like the art, and I feel safe with the knowledge that if I have to sell it I could get some more value out of it". Personally, I'd be in the same line of thought as Michael in that I can't really bring myself to honestly say I think these pages can be resold for substantially more than the prices they were sold at. But I believe Felix, other people in this thread, and the few past auction examples I saw when that say SSB was successful in giving the initial buyers a significant ROI when they were resold. So while past performance isn't guarantee of anything, I think there's enough for someone to have a reasonable faith in the security of their purchases when it comes to these Tradd Moore pages, even if I (and however many others) wouldn't share that same faith

And it is perfectly fine that you feel that way about other people's purchases, just like it's perfectly fine for those people to feel differently (and at the end of the day, the only person who has to be satisfied with their actions is that person themselves). But that's all it is at the moment, feelings. p.s and just for clarity, I don't like Moore's art nor can afford it if I did. Just defending a principle.

Whether the other pieces that aren't marked as sold really went unsold is anyone's guess too, could be that they sold and the owner just forgot or is too lazy to mark them as sold

The top image looks like the title page from Jungle Girl Season 3 #1 by Jack Jadson https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C72513023008901011 Bottom one could be page 20 from one of the books in that series too, but not sure which one if any

Yeah I went back to check I got things a bit mixed up, I was thinking of the reaction to Dinesh's $5M ASM 300 cover listing

I might be remembering wrong and apologies if I am, but my recollection was that many people defended that listing during the last CAF live stating that either A) it was clearly satire, or B) If it's not satire, then a person stating "This is how much it would take for me to let go of this piece of art" is perfectly legitimate. Then I remember this chart being brought up which if my recollections are correct so far, I think it's pretty unfair that the same defense isn't being applied to Nick, or malicious intent is being projected onto Nick for the same action when people didn't project the same back then Anyway I'm willing to drop it now, I'll admit I could be wrong. I don't have anything against or anything significantly towards Nick, I've never bought from him but I regularly watch his show and to me he doesn't come across as the sort of malicious actor that's being insinuated here. I'll defend him this far because I think the insinuations are unfair/unjust based on my experience and limited view of Nick as a person, but if others feel differently then of course they have the right to express that as well. Also nothing personal against Xatari, Cloud, or anyone else who disagrees with me. I think you're all splendid people, we just seem to disagree or have different views on this point. Feel like that needs to be stated around here where if you reply to someone more than 3 times in a row suddenly everyone thinks you've become mortal enemies.

Your last two personal experiences/historical reference points are that that Nick tried to sell the entire first appearance issue of Shuri two times as a whole (and I'm assuming you wanted just the first appearance page) and it didn't end up selling either time. It sounds to me based on what he said during the sales that he really wants to sell the entire issue and would keep the first appearance page anyway if he did break it up. So from an outsider's perspective who doesn't share your personal grievances, it looks like sour grapes, not a pattern of deceitfulness. I don't see someone standing firm on their selling price (no matter how high, if they've a reputation as a legitimate seller then however much profit or value they wish to assign on anything they want to sell is their business) as deceit, and just because his main selling avenue is a youtube show I don't think justifies insinuating that its done for clickbait unless you also insinuate that every online seller with a site who drops pages at (seemingly) outrageous prices are just clickbaiting traffic to their site. Regardless, I believe he already stated during one of his recent shows where he opened up and previewed the pages that he would be breaking up and selling individual Spider-Man #7 pages just like he did for his recent ASM full issue sale, so it won't be a repeat of the Black Panther sale where he was only interested in parting with it as a whole. tl;dr: I don't think its fair to ascribe deceitfulness to everyone who attempts to sell something you want at a price you think is too high, even when they try to sell it twice and hold firm on their price. If I want a page from you that you're selling at $10,000 and I think it's worth $3000, if in 2 years time you're still selling the page at $10,000 I'm not going to accuse of you deceit whether you sell on a facebook/youtube stream, your own site, or CAF classifieds.

Whatever word you think is more appropriate then, regardless, the connotations you gave off that Nick might just be hype mongering without any intent of selling pages feels unwarranted

Nick did a similar type of sale a few weeks ago where he was selling all the pages + cover from one of the recent ASM books by JRJR (Nick himself only wanted one splash page but Spencer was only selling the book as a whole. Nick even offered the splash page he wanted since he promised he would have the whole issue for sale), lots of pages sold then. Feels really unfair to throw around these accusations over a personal bad experience/sour grapes :\ especially when it seems you haven't really followed any of Nick's shows since 2020

Well, guess every day's a school day Never should assume we know everything (no matter how much we pride ourselves on it) especially in a niche market that in and of itself is compromised of countless niche sub markets.
