People have already stated they are tired of this topic so these are my last thoughts. My issue was never about questioning the authenticity or the provenance of the piece. Rather about how it was done. No issue with subjects such as: "Key ASM Frenz Prelim for sale - Any thoughts" or "Key ASM Frenz Prelim for sale - Any history" Heck, even if the body had something phrased like "so and so artists usually does prelims on board, this is on paper so I am wondering.." A good example is that Norem Rampaging Hulk #9 Cover that just got started. The subject is neutral, and in the body, the OP explains why he thinks there is an issue. But for this thread, the subject was (and I'm paraphrasing since the subject has been changed"): "Alleged Ron Frenz Pencil Prelims to ASM #252 cover for sale" implying that it is fake and impugning the piece. And in this case, the artist and seller were responsive, Philip could have waited (the excuse of not being able to contact the artist doesn't apply here) but posted anyways. Saying afterwards that he is not a major player and his voice should not matter is also disingenuous. It's a good excuse to use if false accusations are made. Under that same logic, if he was not a major player, people won't listen even if it was fake, so why post then? Using the fire in the theatre analogy, nothing wrong with warning people if there was a real fire. But seeing someone light up a cigarette (let's pretend it's back in the days when smoking was allowed) then yelling "fire! fire" at the top of his lungs is the wrong thing to do. If people got trampled during the stampede out of the theatre, you can't say afterwards "I'm not a major player, I didn't think people would stampede out, not my fault someone got trampled to death, they should not have listed to me". Then why yell fire? Malvin

It's obvious based on my posts that I agree with this view. Malvin

At a gut I'm thinking it's Karl Atstaetter who did deity Malvin

If you believe in that, why don't you buy all the Lim IG pages you can get ahold of? It's a guaranteed money maker according to you. Malvin

When I asked about reserves, they said they dont do it for less than 1K, and would also refuse to have it if the reserve makes no sense (relative to what they perceive as the value)

Wasn't PhilipB2k17 allegedly the person who said that? Malvin

Hi Folks, I have a batch of art on ebay starting at 1 cent with no reserve! They are: 1. Justice League of America issue 235 by Chuck Patton with Vixen knocked out and also Elongated Man 2.

Also has a nice stat of William Shatner! link to ebay auctions Thanks for looking Malvin

and before he replied you publicly state that he is selling the "alleged prelims" Malvin

All buyers should do their due diligence. But that doesn't mean you should just declare things as fake and asking sellers to prove it is real. You are implying they are fake based on the subject of your post. Malvin

so all prelims are fake until proven otherwise with provenance? Malvin

once again, guilty until proven innocent, how many pieces of OA have full provenance? What kind of provenance would satisfy you? Are you even a serious buyer for it? Malvin

I know we should inform each other of fakes, but your tone is guilty until proven innocent. Do you have any reason to believe its fake? Ruben is a known collector that alone makes me believe its real unless there are signs that it is fake Malvin
