The one up my alley was the Platt Supreme #46 cover (Alan Moore run). It previously sold for $4.6K in 2017 and sold for almost 4K this time around. I was the underbidder. Glad my Liefeld X-force/Shatterstar cover sold, although I would have expected it to go beyond the reserve ($1K) I'm also glad to have won the Cary Nord Ultimate Human cover Malvin

Saying that though, I think Sean articulated a great framework to evaluate Dealers. That is a different document. Malvin

This was supposed to be an FAQ, not a weighted score for dealers. Malvin

As grapeape said, it's usually a comic I already own. But when I first started, I usually sought out a 2nd copy from dollar bins so I can take the comic apart and keep the page with the oa. That stopped making sense when my collection grew larger Malvin

I guess it was Curt Swan's birthday recently. This is a bit late but I just added a great pencil superman commission from him in my CAF! CAF Link Thanks for looking Malvin

Hi Folks, I consigned a couple of items in the current comiclink featured auction. Please bid so I can buy more art! Ethan Van Sciver - Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corp Issue 23 Cover Rob Liefeld - X-Force: Shatterstar issue 4 cover thanks for looking Malvin

Thanks for organizing the show Kevin. It definitely looked busier. Family zone was a great idea too, after I was done my stuff in the first day, I just brought my son back to have him enjoy family zone the other 2 days. Malvin

Thanks for the info! Heh, I was #1 in line, which was pretty good considering I only had a premium badge. Malvin

Nice, I didn't see these there, who was selling them?

I'm now finding that there are less and less OA that interest me, but i still went to my local big con (FanExpo Vancouver). It was a pleasant surprise that I found a couple of things to buy: 1. Mike Grell Prelim to his Green Arrow Omnibus Cover - CAF Link He indicated that he doesn't plan to sell the painted version anytime soon. 2. Cary Nord Batman Commission - CAF Link Apparently someone else commissioned it and bailed. I liked it so I bought it. Thanks for looking Malvin

Wow, this is a masterpiece, congrats! Malvin

Wow, $60 for blank boards? Were these vintage or modern? If modern that means any artist whose sketches /commissions on DC Marvel board that sells for less effectively devalued it! Malvin

yes, in general most sharpies will fade over time. In general hanging it up will be worse for fading (regardless of whether or not you use UV or museum glass) Malvin

I thought you meant it was sold, not ended without bids EBay should really bring back listing fees at 1% of starting bid, would really cut down the Malvin

It could have been consigned (or traded which is same as sold, but consigned)

Flip it behind the art. Malvin

you aren't suppose to vote for your own, I wouldn't be surprised if Bill set it up so that you can't. Malvin

I don't think artists change the price after you tell them the character... at least I haven't run across that. In the past I did commission someone where he charges $1 per minute, so he will spend as much time as you are willing to pay. But the answer to the question is Batman and maybe Wolverine. I don't think it matters if it is splash, panel page, or cover, it's just based on the character's popularity. Surprisingly Spidey doesn't come up for me. Malvin
