Comicartads.com update (Smith, Golden, Sienkiewicz)

[Lee B.]

Good evening all! As you recover from NYCC sticker shock, please feel free to take a trip down memory lane at www.comicartads.com to see how art by "hot" artists like Barry Smith, Michael Golden, and Bill Sienkiewicz was priced in the late 1970s to mid-1990s. Thanks for looking! Best regards, Lee

Thanks for compiling all these ads, Lee! Even if they make you feel depressed. ;-)

I feel like garbage now

 

Such opportunity wasted

I appreciate Lee's work from a historical record POV, but I can't bear to look at the ads. I get too sad.

It's torture

Come on guys, you can do it! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

 

It's funny to look at a particular catalog and try to figure out what I would have bought with, say, $1,000.00 or $500.00 at the time.

 

Some pieces were definitely aggressively priced back in the day compared to pieces by other artists.

 

Best, Lee

I'm too weak.

Hey ya'll didn't buy any Microsoft or Apple stock either...and that doesn't keep you from looking at a graph online. Right? Even better if you did though, I'm thinking Alex might have been buying some of those in the 80s...maybe? (Hopefully not IBM or DEC though!) Even if only in a 401k? Don't worry - be happy

I did buy Apple way back when, but had to sell to help fund college tuitions. Sigh... I made a chuck (I think I bought at $13 a share), but not as much as I would have made if I'd borrowed more and held. Double sigh...

I guess everyone has a different idea of fun. But perhaps I should have used the word "interesting". I'll try to explain what I mean, but I'll start a new thread for that. Cheers, Lee
