Does this seem odd to you?

[AlexH]

I just sold this book:

 

Silver Surfer #2 signed by Gene Colan FN+

 

And if you check who it was won by, you will notice something interesting - it looks like it was bought by Gene Colan.

 

Also, the paypal name of the person who paid is also Eugene Colan.

 

Plus the web site listed on his auctions lead directly to www.genecolan.com

 

Does this seem odd to anyone else that he would buy this book from me?

That is so cool Alex........

Hi John.

 

It actually seems really weird to me. I can't figure out why he would do this.

[Mushroom]

Maybe he wants to give a verified sig to a relative....maybe he thought it was easier to buy an already encased example then have to do it himself, maybe it is to hang in the office, maybe he doesn't have his own copy of the book etc etc I think there are many reasons why buying yours' would be appealing.

 

Ignore all my comments except for not having a copy. I didn't notice it wasn't slabbed.

[Artboy99]

I can

 

1. he is collecting books he signed. ( gotta collect something? )

 

2. he is going to flip the book

 

3. He is cornering the market on Colon signed books

Maybe it's the first book he ever signed, and you just let it go.

It's not an SS book, it's a raw book.

 

It's possible he doesn't have a copy of it, but it seems a pretty steep price to pay for a FN+

Mate you beat me to it. I have already amended my post....... again

Sounds like a fraud to me, the perpetrator set up a dummy trace to make it seem legit. You'll get a charge back in a week or so.

 

Seriously, that's peculiar. He could easily enough get a copy and sign it himself. Is his health okay? Perhaps it's not Gene, but rather some fanatic?

He is selling Gene Colan art, and has a link to his own web site.

 

This is freaky. I'm worried that he is one of those artists that hates it when someone tries to capitalize on his signature to make a profit. I really hope I don't get negged here.

[Red Hook]

Yeah, but then you'd get a chance to neg a Silver Age Legend right back! Way COOL!

[Red Hook]

You think he might be interested in my complete run of Night Force?

Only if you sign them first

[kahml]

To answer your question: Yes, absolutely!

 

The only thing to do now is Google how many Gene Colans there are in the internet-universe and somehow contrive a way to get them all to do the same inks and lines for a re-boot of Daredevil....

It seems odd that anyone would buy a book from you whether it's Gene Colan or not

There are actually a number of minor celebrities (and their family members) that buy up their own signed items to take them off the market -- I've seen it before several times. Whether this is the case here, I don't know.

 

In any case, I highly doubt you'll get negged for it.

Note to self, buy Gene Colan signed items before they're all gone and he's dead.
