  1. Do you get the flutter of butterflies in your stomach and heart palpitations too I can hear my heart beat in my ears during live bidding a lot I really want. Full reptile brain.
  2. Yeah, while CL may have made no changes or improvements to their site over the last 20 years eBay has invested heavily in making their experience for the buyer and seller worse, so I guess CL wins there
  3. I always assumed it was long time friends, people who aren't that active in the hobby, and the increasingly high number of people turned away by heritage.
  4. There's also the risk of the plotline in 11.22.63 where you catch a beating at an inopportune time.
  5. You are in the minority. A story and outrage so ridiculous I almost think they did it on purpose to drum up more buzz.
  6. I'm the type of guy that checks the signature auction listings 6 months in advance as they slowly populate the listings. I don't even open the catalogs they send me, I toss them into the recycling unopened.
  7. With Gimenez Metabarons pages I debate whether its better to have an issue 1 page with empty word balloons or a page from a later issue where the lettering is inked in, but in French
  8. One thing is clear, CC is the place to auction Elfquest color art, totally destroyed HA with recent listings, some real head scratchers.
  9. One of my very earliest memories was playing on the sidewalk with the neighbor's Space 1999 space ship and him mentioning this new movie called Star Wars. I was 3-4 at the time.
  10. Bottom line https://www.sheridanfuneralhomeva.com/obituaries/kevin-brogan
  11. Williamson put an amazing effort forward for the work he did on BR, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Buscema on Conan and ROTLA on the other hand...
  12. Movie adaptations were my entry point into comic OA, Conan in particular. I suspect there are a fair number of people coming from toy collecting and other 3D collecting pop culture areas into the hobby. I have no real interest in superhero art but have come to appreciate the artists. So for people interested in comic art and Kirby, the 2001 book is a nice sweet spot. Logan's Run, Island of Doctor Moreau, Star Wars, ESB, ROTJ, Blade Runner, 3 Indy films, both Conan films, etc. I sold most of this to fund a Warhammer art addiction, where I found I could still buy the art from the artist's hands, but still have 3 Blade Runner pages, including the recently acquired dps by Williamson. Wish I had stretched for the BR2 cover when HA had it, wish I had been involved when CL auctioned the Buscema Conan 1 cover (pre Arnold sig), wish I had stretched last year on the Hake's SW try-outs by Williamson...there's a pattern here That said, no way I'd be into the Treasury 2001 at these prices. Later run pages could be had in the 3-4k range recently though no idea if that is still the case. I think the weird, cosmic, metaphysical pages are the sweet spot more so than multi-paneled talking men pages.
  13. Thanks for this. I just signed my first consignor agreement at 15% and felt a bit like a fool. Its not great stuff I am sending but it totals to around 15-20k across lots.
  14. Red Nails would go bonkers. I wish I could find a Snow Giants Daughter page, which are out there.
  15. Scheduled for release right after the Dragonlance and Elfquest movies......................................
