Can't we all just get along? — or, boot some of these idiots off the boards!

[krazykat-migration]

no, it doesn't bother me at all, just wondering what it meant since it was off topic!

 

cool. Whatcha collect ?

[djsupes]

Me? I'm 15 so it's safe to say moderns! DC only, though

 

Batman and Superman (not the combined series) are my favorite comics

[krazykat-migration]

Cool. Get into art yet or are you simply collecting comics ?

[THE_BEYONDER]

No insult intended but you are starting to remind me of luxxcorp.

 

I felt the same way yesterday.

[djsupes]

Well, I was actually going to buy Superman 219 page 1 or 11 artwork from eBay, which ended up selling in the low 200s.. But, unfortunately, I was just conned out $1000 on Paypal because I made some layouts for some guy, received the money, used it, and then he files a FALSE claim.. Paypal has so many holes

 

Anyways, hopefully, after I pay off this money, I can pick up some stuff

 

Oh, but I may be getting a nice commission piece from a fan artist Jeremy Sorrel, I like him as much as Jim Lee...some of his work is posted in the SHH Fan Art forums, it's phenominal. Anyways, it's only $50 US and all proceeds go to Hurricane Katrina. I give 10% of my money to church/donation fund..places, so it would be cool to have something that helped out

You are 15 and you just lost $1000? That's a lot of paper routes.

[djsupes]

I made 2 web layouts for a guy..

[djsupes]

Oh, my bad, that's 810 US, approx. 1000 CANADIAN, forgot this was US for a second!

You give 10 percent to charity. Wow, I never did that when I was fifteen.

 

Superman 219 page 1/ 11,..who was the artist ? You like Marvel ?

[desertdogg]

kk. it was a much better then. before the internet. the only way to buy comic art. was from very few and select dealers.

 

and comic book shows. and posting ads in the comic.s buyers guied. no sniping or stuff like that and no very few if hardly ever auctions. and lot of long distant phone calls to other dealers to see what new art they had.

 

it was fun. cheap. and made lot of friends along the way. it was very good times then.

I remember using San Mateo Original Comic Art catalogues in the mid 80's.

[desertdogg]

oh. yeah i remember sending $ 3.00 for one and never got it. but i met both of the brothers at a show in philly. and got a discount from a page i bought. after i asked them if and when was i going to get my catalog. . larry ;]

 

ps. which to this day i never got it.

That is too funny. Yes, nobody got em'

 

The famed Donelly brothers' as they would eventually become.

[desertdogg]

kk. really. they never sent any out. wow. i thought it was just me. no wonder why every body hate those guys.

 

larry ;]

[spider9698]

I am proud to say I have an original Donnelly catalog from the 1980s in my collection of old comic art catalogs.

[desertdogg]

well. iam glad some people did get them. i guess there only half as bad now.

 

larry ;]

[spider9698]

Real question is whether they sold anybody the art listed in the catalog.

[desertdogg]

spidy. i hear ya. at shows when dealing with the brothers grimm. one always had to ask the other if this was a good price and if you could get a better deal.

 

that turned off a lot of collectors with there attitude. but i guess if you caught them at the right time of the month they were not so bad to deal with. i done a few trades with them in the past.

 

i have no ideal how they are now. except on comic art l everybody hates them.

i guess they have gone sour with age.

 

larry ;]

[spider9698]

Never did a deal but we came close a few times.
