    The Chameleon – tries to blend in as a passionate, diehard collector in order to buy something NFS or at a fellow-hobbyist-discount only to flip or grow tired of the art

     

    Kraven the Hunter – hunts the big game with all-out abandon. Acquires art, stuffs and mounts it on the wall only to turn around and move to fund the next hunt. All about the chase.

    Love it!

    I've landed multiple five-figure pieces at no cost to me, while paying other collectors well for their pieces and providing many pieces to others at below market value or cost, all the while maintaining honest deals which both sides appreciate. That doesn't add up on the surface, but that's okay :)

    While that sometimes means selling pieces I love and had no intention to move, it also means acquiring much larger pieces I couldn't once afford, and that'll be further evident on my CAF in about a month. There's a lot of assumptions that go on about my process, but those are just that: assumptions :)  

    Your process has been interesting to watch.  I've never seen anything like it especially all of the custom framing just to part with the pieces a few months later.  Crazy stuff but it must be working for you.  Looking forward to the next update.

    There are some in this hobby that when they post their art days, I reply with "GLWTS!", to save time. One guy PM'd me, all miffed when I did that. Of course, he still ended up selling the piece.

    That's great.  I'm going to have to start using that with a certain modern Batman collector.  Yes Kyle I'm looking at you. lol

    Are Condition Issues a Deal Breaker For You?

    This is probably going to always be a "it depends" scenario as damage can vary widely. Many of Carlo's Pagulayan's Planet Hulk pages have water/moisture spots from the big tsunami that hit his area many years ago. It didn't stop me from picking up a few pages from those issues due to my extreme appreciation of the story. That said, I know several people that also enjoyed the story but didn't want anything to do with the pages. It also depends on cost - how much is the page discounted due to the damage? 

    I lucked out getting my Carlo Hulk pages before they could be damaged.
