The neck twist, as you mentioned, is bad. Also, the light source hitting the sword isn’t supported by the background. And, I don’t like the coloring.

cstojano Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Even vodou is being too kind. Nothing about that Conan figure is good. Still it will sell for more than most of my collection is worth so... Actually the arms are ok. I agree, < 1k on this all day long without the context Edited October 19, 2021 by cstojano Rick2you2 and vodou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't baseball, the comic art shuffleboard doesn't have a 162 game season every season plus playoffs.

I'm suggesting the benchmark for over/under to define success should be much higher. Unless...you're Jim Lee and you just sold the quintych X-Men #1 "cover" to "somebody" for "something amounting to a shed-load". You can book a lot of small losses against that single win and still be just fine But then, as I've observed, Jim hasn't been losing many either! Getting back to this: On 10/19/2021 at 11:21 AM, vodou said: I sold back then too (but not since ) I specifically stopped selling much of anything around 2006 (at the latest) because I understood my own weakness (aka "lack of") understanding the complex zigs and zags of The Market. It was clearly a raging bull and I was at risk of being thrown off*. So I stopped selling (and even sharing publicly) cold turkey and just kept buying with new money instead *As so many have been. Those of us collecting in the 90s and early 2000s...all those very active names on Comicart-L that are no longer with us...it's sad. Most of them sold and traded themselves right out of collecting altogether and couldn't afford to buy back in. I'd seen it happen before in other hobbies and didn't want to follow the same path.

It is, relative that is, but I'm not sure how you would know Scott, since I don't share publicly except what I write up occasionally in CFA-APA. However, should you ever be in the Greater Boston area and wish to see the beauty of New Hampshire...you are welcome to visit.
