  1. Been meaning to share this - my Clay Mann remark of Booster Gold on Heroes in Crisis #1
  2. Hope I can make it! I’ve unfortunately had prior commitments the last two times there’s been a gathering in Houston. But I’ll def be at Son of Houston-Con next weekend.
  3. Aw man, bummed I just saw this. Next time count me in for sure!
  4. I'm missing his signing here in Houston this weekend, so I'll take one of these please! Any chance for a famous Rob! remarque? Thanks!
  5. Agreed, any really big transactions are wire transfers usually. Otherwise the sell is hit with big cc transaction fees, plus the risk the seller calls their credit card company later and protests the charge.
  6. Pretty awesome story Scott! I too really enjoyed watching the video of the panel. Well deserved!
  7. Soooo much great art. Thanks for sharing all these pics!!!
  8. I think there's one left. If so I'll take it plus Eastman signature and Sakai Usagi remark. Thanks!
  9. Thanks for sharing! Really kicking myself for not going to ACCC this year. Would love to meet Sam Keith one day.
  10. I don't know you at all, but this thread is a mess. It appears you're taking this all personally, and honestly this thread can't be good for business. I can't add much to what has already been said, because my personal experience appears to match many of the other board members who have already posted. I do look through your inventory when you post up new things. While most of it doesn't fit my collection, occasionally I see a page or two of interest. However, the prices are usually too high (in my opinion), and I don't feel comfortable making an offer because the price I'd be willing to pay is pretty low comparably to the asking price. That isn't to say what you have is worthless, but to me it's not worth as much as you're asking. There are just too many other pages in the market at the same price point I'd be more willing to spend that kind of money on. I like your artists, but what it comes down to is the inventory I've seen doesn't motivate me to spend. That's it, it's not personal at all. I'm not saying you should lower your prices, that's up to you and your artists. For instance, Greg Capullo has decided sell his pages at a really high price. Greg's appears to be ok with those pages moving slowly or not at all. But if you're asking how to get more pages to sell, the only option is to lower the price.
  11. Ugh... I guess I could get comfortable with the concept but these are pretty terrible sig placements
  12. Heard back last night as well. For the first time in like 4 years my number one choice wasn't available. Now I know how everyone else always feels
  13. Felix - another excellent podcast! Keep em coming Scott- really appreciated your take on the hobby and comic art in general. Loved hearing it from an artist's perspective.
  14. Order placed and fingers crossed. It's the waiting after that first email is sent that's always the hardest part. A few items I'm still thinking about, but there was one page I really wanted to get my hands one.
  15. Awesome, can't wait! Glad I found the new thread. Will plan on coming down once my kids go down for a nap.
  16. I've really enjoyed the last few podcasts and the spirited conversation about OA here on the boards! It's great hearing other collectors talk about OA and how they view the hobby/business because I don't really know anyone else in real life that collects comic art. Then again, I don't know if you'd really say I'm a collector. I've been buying OA sporadically for over ten years on a very small budget. It's definitely picked up in the past few years though. On this scale, I look for value but what's most important is the artists involved and the characters. I'd never buy a page I wouldn't want to either put on my wall or own forever. Definitely more of a buyer from the heart than from a business perspective.
  17. Those are some beautiful Wonder Woman books!!!!
  18. I agree with everyone here, I'm liking the art more but hate the two boards. To be honest, it would have to be the coolest page ever for me to buy a latter run page on two boards. There's already so much artwork out there from 100+ issues on one board that I'll just stick with pages from that era.
  19. Just saw John Ostrander and Adam Kubert were added to the Comicpalooza guest list June 17-19.
  20. Wow, another excellent podcast Felix! That's 2 for 2 - I really have enjoyed listening to both conversations. Keep up the great work!
