John E. Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 22 hours ago, Sean- said: Had a really great time at the con. It was truly an overwhelming experience. As mentioned before my only brushes with OA were as museum pieces so getting to see works by artists I’ve admired most of my life up close in personal in that way was not something I thought I’d experience. There were no hard sells or inferences of judgment on window shopping that I was afraid of experiencing whatsoever. Nice to meet Ankur. Definitely intend to be back in September. My only purchase was a page from Beasts of Burden, thought it was reasonably priced and I am a big fan of the series. Happy to have it as my first piece of original art. I’m sorry about the lack of photos, I took a few at first, but honestly became a bit lost in the experience. I’m glad you had a good time and that you walked away with something. You won’t regret it. That Wolverine/Venom by Sam Kieth is an eBay auction piece. Does anyone recall the seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone spends, say, $500, and the dealer can’t provide a bag? My supermarket does (at least for now). And those purchases aren’t nearly as expensive. Heritage does, and it only gets 21% of the purchase price, plus shipping and handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my defense is my prices are great and I just was selling/trading out of a portfolio. I don’t bother providing stuff cause I assume everyone there has “protection” too. Then why were people walking around with loose art? Besides, we’re not talking Mylar. Just a lousy bag. You can even imprint your name on it and get free advertising. Dark Horse has been getting plenty of free advertising from me (which is a much better bag than I have in mind). What could be the price? 40 cents?

What could be the price? 40 cents? Meh, this ain’t Price Chopper. It’s a highly specialized and expensive unregulated tiny niche market that you already had to know a lot about to even have heard of this show, let alone attend it for the 10 total hours it’s open every year. IMO It’s really on you (and me as we are both buyers) to come prepared. If I see a dealer pull out reams of art sized bags (let alone logo emblazoned ones) and other fancy and costly advertising/promotional material I know I would personally get wary that they are looking to inflate their prices by making the experience a little more “upscale”. I’m there to buy the steak. I don’t need to also chip in to cover the sizzle, you know? cloud cloddie and Twanj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 My local art shop sells packs of 100 archival bags for $22. I bought a pack before the show but also made sure all of my standard size pieces were in bags. You're right Rick, little things make a difference. vodou and Rick2you2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post zhamlau Posted April 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) What did people pick up from the show? I bought some stuff but This page really stood out to me. It was from Thor 426 by Frenz and Sinnott. They really did their best to mimic Kirby and man they killed it. I remember this piece going in auction years ago in Heritage and it was just there at the show in some new guys binder. The pic was sorta so I've included its original Heritage scan from years ago.
