If you live in a state with winter, you may want to hang art on interior walls only. Outer walls can shift from hot to cold and cause damage to the paper. A neat idea would be like a gallery wall in the middle of the room that you can hang art on both sides of and walk around. Keep the room pitch black dark when you are not in it. Like others said, run a dehumidifier somewhere in your house. Try not to have huge flux's in temperature in the room. Keep the art not being displayed in a large sealed bag (keeps out bugs and keeps dry). Here is a pic of my room. I have recess ceiling lighting that can go from high to low intensity. I really like sign holder frames for my art. Easy to swap bagged and boarded art in and out and comes 11x17 horizontal and vertical options.

Hello fellow comic art fans. Art Baltazar has been doing weekday shows, weekend painting shows. I have been enjoying them and thought I would share. Check them out if you are interested. Youtube: Aw Yeah Comics Facebook: Art Baltazar - Famous Cartoonist or Electric Milk Creations

Sorry, I had it happen once on an ebay buy, now I try to tell the sellers to ship flat. If its comic art board, I believe the fibers are now damaged and will never be back to normal.

That one sold within the last few weeks. Both listed as issue 9. It's good to know they are published, but issue 15, not 9.

Thank you! I sent the seller a message.

Hello all, There is a seller on ebay that has sold and is selling Thundercats pages, from supposedly issue 9. I looked at my issue 9 and did not see them in the book. I do not have all the US issues and none from the UK. I let him know today that the pages are not in issue 9. He asked if I knew what issue they are from. I do not. Do any of you so I can let him know?

I hope he does not ship it between thin cardboard or rolled in a tube or loose in an envelope.

BWS Conan. I still like Buscema better, but I enjoy the BWS issues way more than the first look at them.

I would agree, that it was more than likely published. This was done in the high time of the X-men. There were novels, kids books, promo magazines, activity books, toy packages, watch packaging, board games, cards, shirts, you name it. I hope you can find it, but it may be a long search because most of those items are not scanned into the internet or at least not in a way that they can be easily found. You may have to find someone with a massive X-men ephemera collection and ask them to do a search.

20%. I rotate them in and out every few months. These make displaying art easy.

I think there is a page on nostalgic investments.

Hey Ned, Did'nt you date my sister Mary Pat a couple of times until I told you not to anymore. Bing!

If you are brand new to collecting comic art,be advised that color guides are printouts on thin paper, like 8x10ish that the colorist used to apply color pre-digital. The market for them is small and the value is low. If you are new, it's better to look for pencil and ink originals with pencil and ink on the same page. Most originals will be 11x17 and are done on art board.

All of the bags I use are from dealers so do you think they are okay? Yes, they are prob acid free art bags. But you may want to change them out every 10 years or so. They sell them at cons or on ebay or other spots like a local comic shop could order them and they are pretty cheap. They come in 11x17 for most comic art or you can get 11.5x17.5 for those pesky DC boards that are just to big for 11x17. Same with the 11x17 backer boards. Just like like comic bags and boards, only bigger. Should I get a portfolio and swap it out? Up to you. If you switch to portfolios, do not overload them, just buy more portfolios. I keep mine in giant 2 ft by 3 ft zip lock bags I got from Wallmart. I store all my pages in that bin either in my basement or in a bedroom closet so they never get sun: Good idea, you may want to keep them raised to prevent flood damage and perhaps cover the bin with a plastic sheet or zip lock bag in case a pipe bursts. Also, may want to run a dehumidifier if you have the option. My framed pages are on my basement walls: As long as the back the frame is not directly touching the wall, you should be fine. If it is touching, get cork or silicone dots to stick in each corner of the frame to raise it of the the wall. For framing I use museum glass, acid free backs and matting and float the paper with rice paper hinge: This all sounds good. The do it yourself, float frames or people that mount the art to a board are the problem. The main point is to enjoy the art while taking the best care of it as possible. Some people just do not get it and it drives me nuts. People share pics of there collections on facebook or here all the time and originals are in direct sunlight all day or touching the frame in float frames or they have it right below a water pipe or they are on an exterior wall that temperature shifts in the seasons.

That looks like thin Masonite board, that you can get cut at home depot. Great for shipping, but laying the page right against it is prob a bad thing. I bet it has acid that will attack the paper over time. You need to bag and board with acid free material. Not to go on a rant, but people think that the art is always safe, because damage takes time to show and they do not see it happening, but it is, by acid, humidity, sun etc. Keeping the art in a controlled temp, dark place is best. If it is hung, it should be hung in a room without direct sunlight or any sunlight at all, on an interior wall, in a frame where the art does not touch the glass, with an acid free matte and backer, that was not glued or taped in. We have all seen disgusting yellow/brown or wavy pages. I have even been lied to from sellers about condition and received pages with frame or sun damage. Poor treatment/storage is how they got that way. They do make 11x17, 11.5x17.5 acid free bags and 11x17 acid free boards for art. IMO these are the best for storage. As for the bin, what you have looks fine, I keep mine bagged and boarded in portfolios and put the portfolios in giant zip lock bags.

Great page! Love the actions and recap! Beware, those types of frames can be bad for art.

Count me in!

I saw that Nostalgic investments just listed a cover today. I have no idea if the price is good or not, but it's there. https://www.nostalgicinvestments.com/fridays

These are 11x17 and come in vertical and horizontal. You can just slide the Mylar art in. Easy to hang, inexpensive and the art can be changed out.

1972 Williams Superstar, 1972 Bally El Toro, 1975 Gottlieb Top Score. Top Score is my favorite. I have a list of others I want to get someday.

Great Backglass Art Bronty! I have 3 Pinball machines at home, all EM, all 1970s.

This is not my piece, but I was watching it on eBay. The seller did have genuine comic art in the comic art section that sold a few days back, but this piece was in the art section as an auction at the same time, but not labeled as print or or original. It sold for 500 and then was recently relisted as a buy it now by the same seller, so maybe it didn't really sell or it is just a print. What is it? Art or print or hybrid of both? It has a date stamp on the back. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254421267016?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true
