I know Glen Brunswick (panel page art) and Bechara Maalouf (nostalgic investments) had some of the pages for #256. Mostly Glen, I believe, but I’m not positive. I had one page from that issue before I sold it to get a page from 250. I’m sure my camera phone pic isn’t high enough quality, though. Sorry. Maybe they still have scans? Maybe they could also track down a few pages they sold? Good luck!

I’m certainly not a Peanuts expert, but I’d noticed the same thing as Batman-fan. And if you follow Aokartman’s link, that daily did have a copyright. Your link doesn’t, and there’s no discoloration in that spot. I guess it could be restoration? Could that sort of stain be lifted that well?

I’m jealous of everyone that gets to Con it up. If my daughter’s birthday wasn’t yesterday, I’d be there, too. Next one...
Pics or it didn’t happen!

Another NM... Norm Macdonald.
Not sure if he's really a comic book fan... Anyone familiar with his Fantastic Four riff ?? One of my co-workers thinks he (Reed Richards) is an a-hole. This skit kind of confirms it. I think Norm is hilarious.
Norm Macdonald is lovely this time of year. Thanks for the reminder!

New Mexico is lovely this time of year. Thanks for the reminder!

Great topic! I would say I try to strike a balance between two and three, which would also keep in mind 1, even if I do not collect as a true investment. I determine the nostalgic “context” I’m looking for, then pass over lots of pieces until I find a piece that has the artistic quality I want. Of course, the notion of picking quality examples can be subjective, so success may vary in the eye of the beholder. It does start with nostalgia for me, though.

Masters of Evil would be one hell of a heavy metal band name! Check out my CAF link if you’d like to see the write up.

@telerites @Ecclectica @Latverian Tourism Board Hey guys! A little more info on those 3 pictures, they were done for Marvel back around 2006 for statue concepts. That is why they have the ground drawn on them like a base. I did not like drawing the beast that way but Marvel would not let me draw the classic beast at that time and only wanted that version. They ended up not making the Beast statue and the Storm's statue that was made was based on another concept I did. If you want to see my more recent stuff, check out my instagram or facebook. facebook/markaspears and instagram is markspearsart.
Thank you, Mr Spears! It’s very nice of you to fill us in. It’s really good work, even if they pressed you into doing another style.

Really? We must be looking at different lots. I'm tracking over 200 lots and most of them barely moved since yesterday. Some items will need to quadruple or even quintuple to hit FMV today and tomorrow.
As I mentioned, I’m only watching two, so my sample is much smaller. One shot up very early and seems to have at least two very motivated buyers, and the other nearly tripled this week. I wasn’t speaking to every price, just commiserating with a couple people that have the Platinum Day Blues with my small watched slice of the auction, and floating a question.
You also may be a lot more experienced than myself (sounds very likely), and able to adjust to the new market better.

Maybe we can sit together because I definitely feel like I will be getting blown out of the water.
Do you have room for one more? I whittled down to 2, and both of them are already over the value I put on them. Clearly, I forgot to carry the one. One page is a long sought after piece that I might never see again, so the evil, over-bidding FOMO (fear of missing out) dude that lives between two folds my brain is whispering stuff...
How are you all approaching those types of pages? How much “stretch” is prudent over your set FMV to get a piece like that? I’m also thinking I just don’t have the computational “sea-legs” yet for this crazy market.

Javokk a troll. Not the troll, just a troll, but from Walt Simonson Thor Ragnarok. I’d love a page, but you get what you get.

The hunt to false Ditkos continue... The crudest one I have seen so far :
"You may fire when ready"
I thought of this thread as soon as I saw that piece. Lol.

Some people want to go back and hit that home run in the big game to change everything. Batman has different dreams...

I have virtually never been spoken to in my face the way I have been on social media.
Definitely a problem on The Internets. Less a problem here than most, imo. I’d like to think we can handle a digital laughing face, though. And that is no knock on your good point about talking to each other politely, I just think we shouldn’t let ourselves get triggered by cartoons (Unless we are buying them! 😁).
I really was just giving an anecdote from another board, to possibly shed light.

On another board that I frequent, the laughing and sad emojis became an “issue.” It was largely because of political needling, but people would use them to laugh at, and make fun of people’s comments, so other thin-skinned posters reported it until the moderators stepped in. We did get to keep them, but it’s become a bit of a point of contention. Personally, I wonder why care that much about the opinion of a complete stranger.
This board is much more polite than a lot of others I’ve seen, but I have noticed bickering increasing a smidge over the last bunch of months—or maybe it’s just become noticeable as I’ve been here longer—so maybe it’s a similar “issue” to the moderators here, too? That’s just a guess, though, as I don’t really know the players or interactions here very well.

A little more Tradd. Logan Maximus (Are you not entertained, Bub?) is frying the target of the night on everyone’s favorite state-run police show, The Guardians. Will Stella save her new love interest? Will Kirby be medium rare or well done? Tune in to find out!

You do know that eBay won't pull dubious Kirbys, right? It's the wild west out there.
I'm interested in the thought process of planning on sniping a 1970s Kirby pencil piece of Cap and Bucky for $400, but on the other hand, no, I'm not that interested. Carry on.
Of course. Hence the discussion. It just seems like low hanging fruit to prune. This listing comes up a lot.
Heh, that’s a whole other problem. Beer google bidding?
