Rick2you2 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Since I expect some people here to go, I hope they will post things of interest to the members. Sadly, I can’t attend this year, but I would still like to see what goes on. Except the merchandising; last year, it seemed like most of the main exhibit hall was dedicated to selling expensive tchotchkes.

Rick2you2 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 I didn’t want to put this in the main topic heading, but if anyone spots Phantom Stranger art (or art with the Phantom Stranger in it)—except for art offered by the big name dealers—please PM me or post it? I’m only excluding the big name dealers’ art because they have presumably posted it on-line already, and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapeape Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hard to believe I've never been to a Con in my own place of origin New York. Maybe before the good Lord calls me home. I second Rick's request for photos of art and the artists. I wish all who attend a safe and fun time at the Con.

Dr. Balls Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I would LOVE to see what OA is at NYCC. Looking forward to and thanking profusely those who take time to post pictures! Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, most artists are either holding for Heritage, cleaned out, or don't bring art to shows -- only selling through their rep or their social. But I managed to snap a few random pics around the show- https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/XmaDJNn8gVF0B7yqyZ6Pp261LlceK4MAnsjpL5c8vTc J.Sid, batman_fan, alxjhnsn and 18 others 8 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyCollector Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) If you are looking for new art from dealers at NYCC, go to Bechara. He had 5 portfolios of new art at the NJ Con which were not (and are still not) posted on his site. Btw for anyone who loves Toth Superfriends art, Anthony had at least half a dozen of Toth's minor hero (i.e., not Supes or Bats) and villain character sheets at the NJ show. None of them have been posted on his site, to the best of my knowledge.

Humpty-Dumpty Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Comic art and comics in general are vastly over valued at this point in time. There is no solid rationale for most of them being priced at where they are currently at. Since the 1960s I have been a proponent of comic collectibles being very much under valued, so never thought I would say this. The prices for most of the material are not justifiable and are not sustainable, nor healthy for the hobby. Hockeyflow33 and taro90 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices for most of the material are not justifiable and are not sustainable, nor healthy for the hobby. The rationale is this: People are buying available art at these prices. I do not believe the general price increases are primarily due to some cartel fake-selling pieces amongst themselves to inflate the value of their holdings. Now, will there be another 10x price inflation? Not on the whole; the market is too mature for that. But is it going to see a tenfold collapse? Not in a timeframe that matters to us, unless as part of some global economic meltdown that moots all discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 This was available for 300k I saw many pieces that were in auctions the last year on dealer tables/walls at 50-100% over the last sale. This seems to be the norm. My favorite pieces were bought from artists. taro90, Twanj and Rick2you2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
