Maybe the surviving member of Milli Vannili has one that I can buy
I'm ignorant of the OA connection other than they are the "Bob Kanes" of their stint in the music industry.

Great idea. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerydetailsearch.asp?aty=9&gcat=13344 And here's one that's not on CAF... Storms At Sea p 34 by Mark SchultZ. I do not own the finished art.

It really depends. Is it paper, plastic ?? Is it a single sheet with the art as it would appear in print ?? Is it in black and white, color, sepia ?? It is a sheet with elements pasted on? If it's a letters page, is each row of text glued on the sheet ? Even if there are printed elements, does it have any actual original art ??

Check out what else he's sold, beginning with the splash to Amazing Fantasy 15
Doesn't say it's original art (and it's not posted in the OA section) and doesn't say it's a poster/print. Doesn't even say what size it is. LOC might even have scans on-line that anyone could print on their own. Sold for $ 478. Starting bid at $ 400. Not sure who the 4 bidders would've been. Ugh.

For some art reps or dealers, I'm sure they won't do business with certain people as well.

It appears HA will adopt a variation of the ComicConnect and Hakes method that will reset the clock on individual lots. I received the e-mail below from HA.
New Bidding Format- Extended Bidding:
Starting with our February 11 A Real American Hero - G.I. Joe Action Figures & Toys Showcase Auction which closes on Sunday, February 11th, Heritage's Action Figures & Toys Showcase Auctions are changing to the Extended Bidding format.
In these Extended Bidding auctions, anyone can bid until regular proxy bidding ends (7:00 PM CT for these) on the night the auction closes. Then, those who have already bid on a lot may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids during the extended bidding period (15 minutes for these) which resets after each new bid during extended bidding. This format will replace the Heritage Live session that now occurs at the end of the auction.
Please note: Only bidders that have placed bids before 7:00 PM CT are able to bid on only those same lots during the Extended Bidding session.- TeddieMercede, MAR1979, delekkerste and 3 others

I'm currently watching today's Wednesday HA auction ( 2024 January 31 Wednesday Comic Art & Animation Select Auction #322405 ). There are over 50 sketch covers. I saw a run of 10 lots in row of sketch covers !!!

I'd be interested in seeing how well the art holds up over time. How much will metallic inks and paint migrate/smudge/stick from contact with the case ?

Is there an official photo listing post from the show?
The closest thing to a listing of art in the auction was OA Expo's CAF gallery. Hopefully they'll list top bids. Or it may be covered during ComicArtLive on youtube this week. Since Hero Initiative was the beneficiary, maybe they'll do some coverage.

Even worse, CAF news indicates 2 JG Jones pieces are missing,

I think of sketch covers as a way for non-OA collectors to get art. You just put sketch covers in the same boxes as your regular comics, no need to buy Itoyas. Slabbing sketch covers is a different level. Pre-CGC, if you went by Overstreet grading standards, writing or drawing on a comic would lower its grade/value. CGC flipped that on its head. The whole idea of slabbing, Signature Series, graded sketch covers, etc is a marketing coup.

I didn't even know Dave Mandel collected sketch covers.

A couple pieces caught my eye but I won't be attending OAX or placing any proxy bids.
This is probably a first for CAF as well. I would assume your e-mail was received. You'll probably have better luck getting a response tomorrow. A few years ago, CAF built their own auction system. I guess it didn't get enough attention and it's no longer there. I sold a piece on it. It would've been exciting to see if they ran that in conjunction with the live bids at OAX.
Recommendations on a New Scanner for Original Art
in Original Comic Art
Posted
I discovered my old Mustek A3 scanner was no longer working (I miss it). In December 2023, I got the Epson WF 7840 which was mentioned by @Lago32 in another printer topic. It was on sale at Staples for $ 199. Considering a standalone scanner actually costs more, it seemed like a good deal. I was in a scanning mood at the time but haven't scanned so much since. It produces nice scans at 11.69 x 16.54 . It also prints on 13 x 19 paper but haven't tried doing that.
I avoided getting an HP because of reports that the scanning function may not work due to a lack of ink.
