I'm sure you know this, but just because a piece is listed at X price, even by a dealer, doesn't mean it's worth X price. While it could certainly sell for it, or close to it, it could just as easily "sell" at a far lower price or with some element of trade. Also, that's not how you do spoilers!

Comic art community- a look back
GotSuperPowers? replied to gumbydarnit's topic in Original Comic Art
I wonder about people that were around when I started collecting/joined the comicart-L around 2001/2, but seem to have stopped collecting: Ken Danker Hugo Brache (sp) The Mysterious Trevor Z (I think that's his/the sites name - a great collection of Mignola and Swamp Thing pieces if I remember correctly) -
I'm guessing it's the consigner of the art that is actually doing the crypto bit, but I could be wrong.

Looking for the following and I have cash on hand to help you off set that recent Heritage purchase, or fund the next one! Dale Keown Incredible Hulk George Perez Hulk: Future Imperfect Chris Bachalo Generation X Darwyn Cooke Parker Adam Hughes X-Men/WildCATS / Gen 13 Mike Allred Untold Tales of Spider-Man '96 Mike Mignola early Hellboy and pre Hellboy (Wolverine, Dr Strange/Doom, X-Force 8)

It's also worth saying pages from Endless Nights (still looking for a page) wouldn't, generally speaking, fetch the same price as a page from the series-proper. But yes, without seeing the page content, even knowing no Death on it, it's hard to put a value to it.

How do I know if it's real?
GotSuperPowers? replied to Laszlo the Mudjar's topic in Original Comic Art
There would be a lot of varied answers to this question, but for me, I didn't know what I wanted. I just found original art and bought what I could afford. It took a couple of years for me to focus more on what I really liked (specific artists, specific series, etc.) and buy that. But even then, what I didn't do that I try and do now is be more selective in what I buy. I would buy a piece, not THE piece. Not that you can always buy THE piece but you hopefully get what I mean - buy something that means something to you. If you're thinking one and done makes sense, buy the one that hits the right points for you. Maybe it is this Thor page, or maybe it's one that costs slightly more but is Thor in action, or in a quite moment. I'm still buying the same stuff I was buying 20 years ago, price permitting. I'm not a Kirby buyer though, so while prices are high for me, they aren't Kirby high! -
How do I know if it's real?
GotSuperPowers? replied to Laszlo the Mudjar's topic in Original Comic Art
Agreed. This is where you run the risk of buying because it's Kirby + Thor, but it's really not a Thor page. Find a page you want and within your budget, but the best advice is to understand what you want and get the right example. Well, that is where I am after 20 years of collecting and trading up (aka fixing my mistakes). -

Art bought at auction still in seller's gallery
GotSuperPowers? replied to New School Fool's topic in Original Comic Art
Normally it's just a harmless mistake - send them a polite note letting them know you just bought it and when they have a moment ask that they remove it so as not to confuse. Doing searches every so often, I'll see the same piece listed in multiple galleries so it happens often enough. -
Donny Cates return "Original" Cover art Miracleman # 1
GotSuperPowers? replied to MagnusX's topic in Original Comic Art
Best guess you could generously give on this is Albert did say it was a recreation (which he was quoted elsewhere as saying it was) and Donny didn't hear it/understand what it meant. Again, that's being very generous to Donny. -
I wasn't there, but yes, my understanding is that is exactly how Albert was offering it - as a recreation and priced as such.
-
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a recreation, not the original based on a text from a friend who was at the show.

September HA Auction Looking interesting
GotSuperPowers? replied to batman_fan's topic in Original Comic Art
Time for a new thread! -
You don't need to get this graded/CGCd - it's original art/one of a kind so you would just normally note any condition issues (tears, whiteout, stats, etc) when trying to sell. But yes, this is worth something. Probably north of 2k without digging in to Kelley Jones pages from Sandman without Sandman on them and their closing prices.

comiclink ComicLink original art descriptions
GotSuperPowers? replied to ThierryX's topic in Original Comic Art
They also have a weird way of measuring art, going for the image area only rather than the board (and maybe noting the image area). -
New to OA Collecting, Advice, tips?
GotSuperPowers? replied to FrankJP's topic in Original Comic Art
Ha! I sold this page (stupidly). It's worth $550 today, and I'll PayPal it to you right now to get it back. I'll let others better reply to your question, though I know Alex Johnson has a well used write up on the pricing/looking for comps topic. -
Hi All! Looking for an Adam Hughes example, from his X-Men/WildCATS issue, or his Gen 13 work - something around that time. If someone has a page that they would be open to parting with, please shoot me a message! Thanks! Simon
