I've heard whispered from at least one source (which I can't recall now, tsk.) that if your consignment is big enough, notable enough, that HA might even be willing to give you points against their Buyer's Premium. Can anyone confirm that detail?

...and I don't think that this stance is even particularly unusual. Should such a valuation disaster happen, I would presume I wouldn't be alone in the loss, and further interpret it as a harbinger of opportunities to be welcomed. I would presume that there are many in the Hobby that, given the choice between: 1) losing half the value of their collection while gaining otherwise unforeseen opportunities to make new purchases, or 2) retaining their current high values, yet enduring limited opportunities to expand collections, I'd guess a solid majority would cheerfully take the loss and go hog-wild. (Not to hijack the OP's thread too much, sorry)

What are your 2024 OA Collecting Goals?

I'm hoping for a 'Building War Chest' year. We'll see if the fates allow. -

You like the Phantom Stranger? Has that been mentioned before? -

...from my writeup on CAF: I've owned this page for a few years now. It's the right-hand page to a long-separated Double Page Spread from MICRONAUTS 57 (1983) by Butch Guice and Kelley Jones. Missing pages from DPS's occur from time to time, and, in my mildly OCD-addled collector's mind, are pretty maddening. Fortunately, the MICRONAUTS are not present on this DPS, so the priority has always been low. The DPS likely was distributed intact to Guice, judging by the remnants of tape on the reverse, as well as the pricing note (twice the price of a similar 'single' page from the issue, written in the same handwriting. Kelley Jones has not sold any of his MICRONAUTS originals, to my knowledge, so it must have been Butch). How or why this page got separated from its mate I don't know, but it seems likely they were sold intact. Looking at the content of the page, unless you're familiar with the issue, it might not be immediately obvious it's part of a DPS. Only one panel (on the top) is really affected. Bottom line: I'm not married to this page, despite it being part of a vintage storyline. While I would certainly entertain the notion of buying Page 4 should it be made available, I'm just as happy to GIVE AWAY this page FOR FREE to the collector who owns its mate. So, yes. PAGE FIVE, FOR FREE, but only to the proven owner of of PAGE FOUR. I'll even pay shipping to get it to them.

A Softening Art Market Has Hit Last Years Auction Stars
thethedew replied to Stefanomjr's topic in Original Comic Art
In addition, IIRC he supposedly did THREE versions of each painting produced for TV: 1) Prelim done in advance of taping; so of COURSE the art was not as spontaneous as the show made it seem 2) The piece done on-air 3) Tight version done after the show aired; why he would bother is beyond me (though this whole process might not have been in place for his first show) I imagine the created-on-air version would be the desirable one to own, but who knows? -
I hope he's found peace.

Do You Still Have Your First Piece of Original Comic Art?
thethedew replied to Dr. Balls's topic in Original Comic Art
Mine was a color guide, which distressingly arrived... rolled in a tube. It was only many years later that I was able to unite it with its Original Art page.
