He doesn't respond to facebook posts I met him at a con a couple of years ago. Very friendly and engaging. I think he has had some health problems.

MetalPSI Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 From what I have read up on him, that is a yes. He was pretty down on his luck around '05-'06. I am not sure, but I think he is developing projects again with several different publishers. I do know that some of his artwork has been for sale on eBay. I tried to get a picture of the Maxx that was supposedly done by him, but lost the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiceX Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I guess it depends on how much you paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalPSI Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Yeah but GPA isn't the end all, be all for comic prices. One noob buying for extravagant price ruins the curve. Edited January 28, 2014 by MetalPSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah but GPA isn't the end all, be all for comic prices. One noob buying for extravagant price ruins the curve. Considering how tough that book is in 9.8, the $72 was a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXReplicant Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Crispin and I were talking about the Yellows popping up on the Bay. Yellow #1 (in the UK) and Yellow #2 graded 9.4 (overpriced x 3) It's nice to see them pop up though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow #1 (in the UK) and Yellow #2 graded 9.4 (overpriced x 3) It's nice to see them pop up though! How do you figure it's overpriced by three times...one just sold for $350...so by your logic a 9.4 should sell for $50 less than one which would probably grade 7.5.

In that case I guess it's about right! I was thinking $300ish for a #1 yellow in nice condition. I know the Yellow print runs were all 500, but I didn't know the #2s were more scarce.
