  1. You wear shorts? Well, let’s all look at Mr Fancypants here! Do you put your pinky in the air when you press bid, too? Sheesh.
  2. If you check out comic art tracker, there are actually a few pages on the market right now. Pretty nice ones, too. Good luck!
  3. Kirby’s very favorite bread! Now with more Krackle!
  4. Actually, I was not one of the lucky ones that got it from Felix’s original drop. I had to pay a premium to get it from another person’s collection, because they almost never show up in auction or for sale. Privately, these sell for $30k+ between collectors. I’m trying to put one on the market that is attainable by dropping the price, and offering a trade plus cash option. Edit to add: And my wife would hotly contest that smart stuff😁 Also, thanks for the well-wishes.
  5. My guess is that it’s a fresh to market situation. That DPS was on a dealers site for quite a while at a much higher price (a little more than double its sale price). I was present at a couple conventions where I happened to notice that it was shown (shopped?) to a couple other dealers, too. Maybe that got them to not bid, making the market lighter? Just guesses, but I think those put downward pressure on that piece. I’ve noticed a couple other dealer pages that had similar prices and discussions, so maybe that’s a thing?
  6. “I just e-mailed Josh at C-link to inform him of the good news and to suggest he alters the description to reflect what it is he's actually auctioning-off. He's just acknowledged my e-mail, so hopefully a more accurate description will follow.” I might as well just copy and paste yours, because I came to post the exact same thing. Heh. I think they are aware now.
  7. All good points. Definitely wait a few to get more info, as there are people here who sell a LOT more than I do. For @shadroch: Does the fee difference make up for possibly getting less, depending on the company used? Not disagreeing, just asking. I don’t really buy comics anymore, just sell, so I don’t know those others as well.
  8. You nailed it. They changed the standards for what goes in a signature auctions, in order to put more in the weekly auctions, and clog the signatures up less. I was just talking to my HA guy about that last week.
  9. I would say so, yes. And you also have the benefit of their PR, and their usual clientele. If someone is not conversant with selling, or has both trepidation and a lack of knowledge on the market, I would think that heritage is the best way to go for your best price, with the least amount of stress. I’m sure some of the more advanced collectors here can chime in, and correct anything they disagree with, but I’ve been doing that for the last few years, and it’s been great, imo.
