    The OFFICIAL "This week in your ORIGINAL ART collection?"

    in Original Comic Art

    Posted

    Hey Folks,

     

    I wasn't at SDCC but thanks to Brian Peck I still have an SDCC related art day!

     

    The best part about this hobby are the friends you make, and I truly appreciate Brian finding me these pages. They aren't valuable pages but of course they hit my nostalgic sweet spot.

     

    He knew I collected specific issues of Alpha Flight and when he saw June Brigman was selling some, he told me about it, and it was a no brainer for me to tell him to buy them!

    Thanks for looking

    Is it considered bad form to contact people about art labeled NFS?

     

    Unless its a very strong "pry it from my cold dead hands". I would ask if it really interest you. of course how you ask matters, you certainly have to be polite, but other than that, I don't think it;s bad form to ask.

    OK, I'll do my part to bring this thread back on topic.

     

    I asked before, but I'm looking for the other half of this Dale Keown DPS

     

    CAF Link to my half

     

    I bought it by itself in 2011. A full DPS recently turned up on Heritage, which was perplexing, but it turns out that it was inked over blue lines (but used for publication)

     

    So if anyone knows where the hand drawn half of this DPS is, let me know!

    I could see it being inappropriate if the artist was somehow compensated as a percentage of what the art ended at. But I would guess that this was not the case in this situation, and none of the money he paid went back to him.

     

    Unless he was just shilling it, even if a percentage goes back to him, nothing wrong if he wins (I get $5 for every $100 I spend, I'll spend $1,000!. except you will be out $950 so that logic makes no sense)

    Really? He bid the highest. If he didn't bid the beneficiary's of the auction would have received less money. I have zero problem with what he did.

     

     

    I respect your opinion but I think If you are donating an item for auction I think it's bad form to "win" it.

     

    I'm with LB, it doesn't matter who donates it, whoever bids the highest should win it, and the charity benefits. It's only a problem if the auction is "rigged" and someone was allowed to win something for way less than it should have gone for (e.g. by not allowing others to bid).

     

    I don't sees problem with someone giving something away and paying market value to get it back.
