  1. I don't have a the budget to buy any high end pieces, but to me I would always choose the older piece. I have a few reasons: 1. Jack Kirby passed away and there will never be anything new from. While Kirby produced a lot of art, there will always be new Jim Lee art (assuming he continues for the next few decades). 2. Old art won't see the significant potential drop in value that new art could. For example, if you bought a high end Liefeld page when he was hot, how would you feel about passing up a Kirby page? (This is just an example...we all know that Lee is no Liefeld.) 3. While you may love the new art, that art may just be a typical page 10 years from now. ("Oh, another angry Wolverine cover....") 4. From a financial standing, a book or title may be considered insignificant in the future. (We love Hush now, but if no one cares about it 10 years from now that page may be significantly less valuable.) There are many that are far more knowledgeable than me, but these are my thoughts off the top of my head.
  2. Interesting. So who wants to translate those pages? (Or just post an English version?)
  3. Martian Manhunter 28 page 8 - I am a big fan of Mandrake's inks on his own pencils
  4. Invincible 48 pg 18 - purchased a few months ago, but finally up on CAF
  5. As long as the signature isn't destroying art or detracting in some way, it is fine. I usually have artists sign it in black ink in a margin; for some people large, obvious signatures (even in the margin) are turnoff, which could lose you a potential buyer/bidder in the future. I prefer to have the artwork signed.
  6. Great 'Nam page. I really like the artistic style of the art (it reminds me of McFarlane).
  7. ..... wouldn't it be nice if about 50 of us showed up for the opening..... you know, a real show of support...... GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I am in! --Jim
  8. A Buscema piece? Tim [TTh2] is about to put you on ignore. Thanks for noting who Tim is...it gets really confusing when people start using first names since it seems that everyone but me knows first names (Hi, I am Jim by the way)
  9. While I agree, I kind of like it being tough to find...it makes it more of an adventure
  10. There are quite a few threads about that seller and their prices. You might want to check them out.
  11. Cap 1 over ASM 1 and Tec 27: I never liked the cover to ASM, but if it was an AF 15 it would be a different story
  12. Now this is just frickin' redonkulous. You have amassed your collection of over 500 pieces and everything has been since Superman For All Seasons? Less than 15 years? I am never selling you another thing. Man, I thought I was sick. Well, yes, I guess that I am sick. But you too! As soon as I win the lottery my collection will quickly expand too Bird is a lotto winner? , not that I know of...it is just the only way I will have big pieces
