I have interacted many times with people who have no galleries. I have had some sales and have had no issues so far. (knocking on wood now) Sorry to hear about your incident Ryan. Malvin

Maybe. I don't know for sure, but I heard that the HA minimum is $5K. If so, I don't see $20K getting any sort of special treatment. Malvin

One of the pages I want I already own! It was sold by a different dealer Malvin

Hi Folks, I have an item on clink current auctions (it was 2, will explain below) so take a look and bid! 1. Chris Mooneyham Avengers Pinup with the full team! - Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk and Black Widow - clink link Also, for those that noticed, the Alan Davis Infinity Siblings page with Thanos was also mine, but comiclink mistakenly listed as blueline (it's not) so we thought that it woudl be better to pul the listing and re-list for March, so look for it then! Thanks for looking Malvin

I suspect artists have a cover rate, and I don't see why they would get a different cover rate because the cover is a variant vs. regular. Malvin

Thanks again to Brian and Bill for having the best of, here are my entries and runner ups Entries 1. Covers - Bernie Wrightson Captain Sternn cover Lowry Link I always enjoyed the Captain Sternn miniseries. I was hunting for a representative page and I guess this cover works! 2. Covers - Gary Frank Hulk 414 Hulk Cover with Silver Surfer Lowry Link Maybe this is a theme, but the Surfer issues of Hulk was something else that I wanted and representative page for, and I ended up with a cover! 3. Interior Pages - Todd McFarlane Hulk 338 page Lowry Link I'm one of the few people that like Todd McFarlane's Hulk run more than his Spidey run, but maybe it was due to the writing, but always glad to add more examples from that run. 4. Splash Page - Frank Quitely All Star Superman Splash Lowry Link People have said that Alan Moore's Supreme is a tribute to Superman. I think Grant Morrison's All Star Superman is his tribute to Supreme :P. Glad to have this splash 5. Convention Sketch - Frank Cho Daisy O'Dare Lowry Link I don't get as many convention sketches these days, since I go to less cons and also have most of what I want. But I still bought this one because it was checked off so many things Runner Ups The say the runner ups reflect how good your year was, and this year certainly reflects that. These would have been sure fire entries any other year except for this one: 1. Mike Zeck Punisher Cover Recreation - http://cafurl.com?i=23552 2. Bisley Lobo page - the spelling bee! - http://cafurl.com?i=23553 3. Grant Morrison Animal Man page with Animal Man! - http://cafurl.com?i=23554 4. Dale Keown Hulk Sketch - http://cafurl.com?i=23555 5. Steve Dillon Punisher Cover - http://cafurl.com?i=23556 Thanks for looking and thanks again to Brian and Bill! Malvin

+1! I start mine at 1 cent. Malvin

Hi Folks, One of the things in my unofficial want list (not written down and only in the back of my mind) was artwork from Bernie Wrightson's Captain Sternn. I only ever read the 90's miniseries published by Kitchen Sink so I wasn't after his earlier appearance. Pages are rare enough to begin with and the ones that did turn up didn't interest me, until now. I managed to buy the issue 1 unused front and back cover, as well as the corresponding colour guides. I even set up a new CAF Gallery just for it! link to CAF Gallery Thanks for listening and looking Malvin

It will be mutual, I won a couple of things too. Malvin

Transparencies have generally been problematic, since some people just photocopy things onto transparency. I can't say if these are real or not, but saying that, the actual pen and ink pages for this comic would only be a few hundred and "real" production art would be a fraction of that, so even if it is real, I would estimate value in the 10s of dollars only. Malvin

So did anyone bid and win? Malvin

I consider prelim unpublished. Malvin

Heh, caf has a feature that shows upload by year, I use that as a guide

Yes Malvin

Interesting. I have retracted bid unliterary without waiting for the seller to agree. Maybe they are different processes and we are both right. Malvin

People could have removed it from their Lowry Malvin

I think up to 12 hours before an auction ends, a seller can cancel bids and a bidder can retract bids. I don't think they both have to agree. Malvin

I agree for the most part. It might go for more than $250, but no way it's worth anywhere near $750. Malvin

Great to cover pieces that were really auctioned. It was in the back of my mind but I never did a detailed comparison

I think most artists have already weighed in all the factors before deciding on digital vs. pencil. I'm not seeing how you or anyone can change the overall trend. Unless you want to start paying 10x for all artwork, from all artists. Malvin

My impression from that site was that it is based on surveys. Even if everyone enters accurate numbers, I don't see why more established creators would bother entering the info. Malvin

I just took a look, almost $1K for that is insane and makes no sense! Malvin

I forgot about the CC auctions and I had placed marker bids on them. When I took a look, the prices seem high too. Good for the consignors and CC! Malvin

yes, although there is some flexibility. Since the start is in Jan, first few days of Jan you could just say 2018 Malvin

My stuff has been hold for awhile, check each of your invoice, there is a new fee there Malvin
