The Cup Doth Runneth Over

[Brenmark]

Hello Everyone,

I don't often write a post, but I'm looking at all the amount and variety of art being offered on Ebay this week, and I am just overwhelmed. In fact, I'm more than overwhelmed. I am just floored by the selections available from various individuals and galleries. Anybody else feel that way? From Foster, Herriman, and Raymond to Wood, Davis, Crandall ,and Kirby the coffers are full of some fine examples of original art from the best of comic strip and comic book art. Single pages, splashes, full stories. It's all there. I'm wondering if I should even bother to go to San Diego. Whatever I was saving could be long gone before I get there. Best,

 

Mark

Mark, there is always something nice on eBay to bid on , Just not always the funds in the account to do the bidding

 

My nomination this week for "Bid I'd love to place, but won't" goes to : BLACK CAT SPLASH

[Brenmark]

The Black Cat is definitely cool. It's a great splash. What I wouldn't give to have a Wally Wood complete story, but my family is accustomed to having some food and shelter.

Yeah, nice piece, but from the little bits I've heard, sounds like this piece was never actually available...and so probably just added to help fill out the site, complete with a little "false advertising" in the vein of "hey, did you see what just sold on ComicLink...and at what price?!?"

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's certainly the way it looks given the previous conversation on this one.

You are not wrong.

Interesting Bio Jim. God bless you. Good luck putting your collection back together!!!

Welcome to the boards Mark!Putting my old collection back together again would be difficult.I lost the lion's share of it in "90 when I passed out while smoking a cigarette after spending 2 straight days partying with a friend who'd just returned from a scalloping trip.Burnt half the house down.And I still didn't learn my lesson!GOD BLESS...

Thats a crazy story. I was going to ask but didnt want to seem too nosey. All's well that end's well and if you turned it around, that is something to be VERY proud of.

 

 

 

Here my pick on EBAY: (Raymond/ Flash Gordon - 1937)

Losing the collection was only part of the story.I got worse and it finally took some jail time before I realized that I didn't have to be the way I was.By the way,that Raymond piece is fantastic!GOD BLESS...

It was a legitimate sale.

[westform]

Yes, it was legitimate in the sense that Josh sold it for that price, but it wasn't for sale on his site. It sold earlier. It was put up 'for sale' on the site after the sale. Dan

[spider9698]

Agreed
