    The Greatest Sketch Cover Collection

    in The Signature Room

    Posted

    It would be awesome to have an incredible amount of sketch covers. I just got into the hobby not too long ago and amassed over 20+ in that short period of time. But since I prefer them slabbed. I try to be picky on which ones to pursue. I can't imagine having over 100+ and having minimal storage space. I've seen the names mentioned above collections and they're pretty incredible. Not sure if there's any worth in these sketches but I do appreciate the hobby. Especially when you get an actual sketch from your favorite artist growing up.

    Just to give you an idea for a sketch cover...

    Image #1 Remarque $500
    Image#2 Profile Sketch $850-$1000
    Image#3 Head Sketch $2000-$3000 
    Image#4 Bust shot no background $4000  
    Image#4 Bust shot with background (wraparound) $8000  

    I asked Moy if Lee would recreate Hulk #181 or something similar with both characters....$10K+  (but he also said Lee would unlikely do the request)

    I spoke to Albert Moy (Lee's Rep) over at TorpedoCon yesterday regarding a sketch cover commission. Depending on the sketch request. If it's something specific like a Homage or how the character is posed there's a good chance it will be rejected. Usually the request should be made simple for instance I just asked for a full sketch of Wolverine ($4-5k). But depending on your patience...sketches completed could take up to 2 years. And you'll have to pay upfront. Moy holds the money till Lee is done and receives the sketch. I couldn't do the profile sketch. I've seen too many and they all look the same.

    I understand that the one that sold a couple of weeks ago for $25,000 was a Newsstand but an $18,000 dollar difference? That is a huge drop...

    Yes...also look at the location of Stan Lee's signature...huge turn off for some bidders...

    The seller thought $10,000+ easy....

    Bob Layton commission sketches?

    in Ask CGC

    Posted · Edited by AlexG_art

    Hello,

    I was looking to purchase a sketch from Bob Layton. Currently I'm negotiating with his Rep Spencer Beck on purchasing the piece. I did ask him if he can submit it directly to CGC for Certification. Unfortunately he's not facilitator. How Can I have that sketch get a yellow label for Certification? Do I send the form directly to Spencer Beck to fill out or does it have to come from Bob Layton directly?

    THE 2021 SKETCH COVER MEGA THREAD

    in The Signature Room

    Just got this in today....Not sure how many Jason Fabok sketch covers are out there. Also did a little digging and found this link: Jason Fabok: BATMAN: ETERNAL

    When they approched me about doing a promo piece, they wanted a big epic Batman drawing, something that looked classic and bold but also showcased what is to come.  I had been working on a sketch cover when they presented this to me, and I liked what I had on the sketch enough to use it as a base for this layout.

    I believe this is the actual sketch cover he's referring...maybe...the date shows 10/3/13. The book came out as a Wondercon exclusive in Feb 2014.

    Before the summer last year I was searching for this book like a mad man. I just got back into collecting and made a short list of comics I wanted to get. I remember seeing 2 on Ebay at $2500 but passed cause I didn't have the cash at the time. Then of course when I did they were gone. I do remember being picky because if I'm spending that kind of cash. I wanted to make sure it looked pretty clean. So jagged edges, Mis-wrap's or bent corners were a definite pass. So seeing now how people spend that kind of money on a condition like that is crazy to me. 

    Note: I was able to get a 9.8 copy before they jumped.
