Is that guy who's art also shows up on romitaman site simultaneously? Name eludes me.

Deleted. Duplicate.

Not a fan of the prices - but found 2 pieces that I enjoy.

Sounds like 'ya nut allergic?'

so in another thread - folks were beating up on Greg Land for photo reference work. Tim Bradstreets method is to TRACE photographs. to the best of my knowledge he takes the photos - but he traces them to get this look. If someone knows otherwise, feel free to chime in. That's the story as I recall him saying so at a convention many years back.

I think this was discussed last year - but you should break it down further - either by era or by value. Comparing a $1000 item to a $10000 item etc.. is not a great comparison. Or comparing a silver age page to a modern age page, etc..

I haven't seen that. Just ask them to change your shipping status to hold all items and not ship until you ask. Then when you amass enough - ask for shipping.

That's why I say Gene Park. LOL. One other solution is to use the @symbol and the start spelling the name and the site will suggest user names. Pick the correct one. No spelling issues.

They will hold items and consolidate. If you bid on several auctions - they can combine the items so you pay shipping only once. For those who are not impatiant it saves funds. And less headaches with shipping companies. As each shipment is stressful - there are less shipments this way. Clink also offers this.

A minute to go leaves time for others to bid still. Best to wait a bit closer to the end. Still no guarantees in clink..or life. Food luck next time.

For sure a handful like #1 are gone - but many remain. I know I enquired about a storyline where groo was little (l'll groo) but as that was a multipart story he would want to sell all those issues together. Now that was real overkill for me. I got some tpb covers and called it a day. My groo fix is satisfied... for now.

Let me guess.. drawn by Manara?

Aquaman art is only worth buying if he's riding a stallion..er, seahorse.

This entire thread is about selling.not about buying. That's why we care. Ha ha.

you get the whole book. covers (front and back, inside and out) and all. early issues all featured 2 page spread on page 2-3. also there is always a gag on the inside covers with sergio and the other artists talking about the issue. some issues had puzzles/games. these all come included if you get the complete issue. from what I have heard - the reason you can buy individual covers from later series is that some covers were accidentally sold - so he said to heck with it and started selling the art piece by piece. This is not true for the original series - where he kept issues together.

out of curiosity = -when I place tracking bids - its always the next bid as offered by the system. for example if the item is at $100 and the next suggested bid is $110 - thats what I do (when I am tracking). I don't put in 200 or some other higher number. I do this because I am not trying to drive the price up, just want to track with minimal impact on price. When you put in a tracking # - how do you approach it?

ok. so the point of this thread was to look at it from seller pov. if you are looking at final hammer with juice etc.. as fmv - that puts even more pressure on the seller. give you an example. i just won a piece at HA. now as it happens to be a modern piece of art - I know what the artist was selling it for. lets call it 100%. I paid 90% of this price at auction, but the seller who consigned it to auction got 75% (assuming they didnt pay seller fees -only buyers premium). In this instance, the consignor lost 25%,but I only saved 10%. this disparity is why its important to look at the amount the seller gets.

Are you basing the above on your own experience or are those pure guesses? And when you say fmv - is that after all feels or before. Because the way to look at fmv from seller perspective is after fees.

For those that have interest and funds - Sergio still has most of the art from the 1980s epic run. He sells complete books for 12.5k. As later issues were thicker - you get more art for the same price with those. From what I heard - he only sold a handful so there is a lot of choice. He also sells art at sdcc - for anyone who is gonna go.

What is Groo?

Big is a relative term. You were the big bidder this round. The pre- peanuts strip with the boy and his dog went fairly high ( but I will admit I have no comparison info)

Loving all the funny comments. On a serious note - would anyone buy such a page? Or would the ink be too much to bear. I like how the seller says it could have been Kirby or Stan Lee that spilled the ink.

On ebay now. the description is too funny?! not sure what to think - thought I would share and see how others feel. link here

at this point - my favorite thing about it is the movie poster by Amsel. Not that I could afford it - but that would be a grail piece in my mind.

Wow! The image is even more mysterious than the comment. Why did you want this piece in 2009? I am going to admit ignorance about this piece. Looks a bit like Kent William's- but what it is from (Blood?) and why someone would want it for so many years is still a bit of a puzzle wrapped up in an enigma. I dont think I could sleep if I knew this guy was in my house. I am not even sure Jim D would have waited since 2009 for this? Let us know what makes this special so we can all appreciate it. If you want to that is.
