Great info Alex - thanks for sharing!

Why do you need a company to do this? Do you need CGC (or another company) to grade art? Clearly, the answer is no as the "grade" doesn't really mean anything. Do you need a company to authenticate? If this could be done well, maybe but this is not an easy task and a company would need to have extensive knowledge to do this to avoid the forgeries, fake covers, altered pieces, etc. Now, encapsulating in a way that preserves the art? Yes - there could be an opportunity to step it up from Itoyas, etc. ... I could see a market there for some (not all)

My X-Men Original Art quest.. and the Journey...
JadeGiant replied to Unstoppablejayd's topic in Original Comic Art
Congrats Jay - this was an epic and monumental project - so happy to see you on the other side of such a lofty goal. Do you have X-men artist targets that you don't have that fall outside of the 3 consecutive issues that you might be chasing? Looking forward to seeing upgrades and additions. -
Do You Still Have Your First Piece of Original Comic Art?
JadeGiant replied to Dr. Balls's topic in Original Comic Art
My focus was "anything that appealed to me" when I really started. I bought a ton of sketches and commissions and some pages that weren't too expensive. I think my first pages I bought were at a con and I know they included some Hulk Annual pages by Wagner and a couple Freddie Williams Flash pages. After the primarily squirrel phase of collecting, I came back to my roots and pivoted mostly to Hulk artwork. -
Do You Still Have Your First Piece of Original Comic Art?
JadeGiant replied to Dr. Balls's topic in Original Comic Art
Yep - bought these on a whim at a show. Had some extra funds and nothing else I wanted to buy when I ran into a setup with Skottie Young and Greg Titus. Skottie was sold out but Greg had these so I scooped them up. I was pretty heavy into collecting statues and busts at this time and didn't buy another piece of art for 2-3 years which I now regret (along with regretting buying so many comics in the 90s instead of art). Once I started collecting art in earnest, the statue/bust hobby slowed to an almost standstill. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=775411 https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=775409 -
