  1. If your PayPal payments are made through a credit card (rather than through your bank or PayPal credit), you can also request a credit card chargeback through the credit card company.
  2. It can't hurt to ask, but prices tend to be firm. If you dare wait, there is usually a Christmas sale on artwork from many of their artists.
  3. What a nice daily! Pretty girl, big name bad guy, Peter and Spidey... all in three panels. With Lee and Romita in the signature box, too. Sweet!
  4. I think it's a great pick-up, and for exactly those reasons.
  5. This could have been handled better, I agree. I had a better experience. Like West, I offered less than the full asking price on a piece I'd been watching for almost a year. I liked the cover a lot, but it was pricey. Mike responded quickly and professionally. He checked with the artist, all was well, and I received the artwork promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.
  6. ...and if you were going to fake a Kirby, you'd probably go for a bad pin-up (as they do, because it's less time-intensive) or a cover (because $$$). Has anyone here came across a phony multiple -panel interior page created by a fraudster? I'm guessing not many, if any at all.
  7. Nice cover! It's a treat to see ANY Farrell/Ajax issues. I've never seen an Ajax romance in the wild. Even the incredible Dr. Love appears to have less than a handful.
  8. Tom did art sales the right way. He always responded quickly to any questions I had, and he was generous with his time. Sorry he's stepping out of the game.
  9. A great piece of personal history. Congratulations on such a sweet acquisition.
  10. Congratulations on that beauty. Such a prize! How big is "huge"?
  11. She had a shortish run in the 60's, but the character has never completely gone away. Superteen keeps returning. She even popped up again last year in "Superteens vs. Crusaders", a two-issue mini-series. It was a fun read, even if Betty looked more like the "Riverdale" Betty. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  12. Nice pickup! Has Steve gone to all-pencils these days?
  13. Rob, I see there's a mold issue. Is there a method to fix this? Would there be any risk to other artwork? (Possibly no problem at all, but I just don't know.)
  14. Although I love original art, I'd enjoy seeing some modern published covers in this forum. I've always liked this Red Sonja cover by Lopresti, for example.
  15. I enjoy ComicArtTracker, and use it frequently. Thanks, Nico! Weird thing happened this morning, though: When I type in "Bob Montana", I get 29 results -- but no images or working links to take me to the results. When I type in Sekowsky, Oksner, or what have you, everything pops up as expected. Anyone else experience a similar issue?
  16. John Buscema is one of the greats (his brother, Sal, has said so, too, in the past). He was also prolific. There are thousands of JB pages available. If his available output was as limited as BWS, we'd see a huge bump in the price of John Buscema artwork. IMO.
  17. Always enjoy your predictions, Lee. They're especially fun when you don't have comps to help with your call.
  18. Complete story with cover? Or an individual page?
  19. Interiors. The guy on the cover is too pretty to reflect Ditko's original take on Spidey. (As iconic as the cover is.). Besides, the character's mythology is based entirely on the interior pages. When people/cartoons/movies/tv recount the origin, they always reference the story.
  20. So many great covers here. Congratulations to the collectors who managed to find these beauties.
  21. If the PayPal account had been tied to a credit card rather than the OP's bank account, would he have another avenue of defense (opening a dispute with the cc company), or would it have mattered?
