  1. The GS X-Men 1 page sounds like a potential Platinum Winner!
  2. I am lucky, I am in driving range of Gordon Christman!
  3. I agree - look a lot of veterans could win this thing if they can pull from their secret pile from 20 years ago - heck, I might have a piece or two myself but that is just not cricket!
  4. I'm on the 'you should have acquired it in the contest year' side but also, agree it can only be the honor system...easy enough to say should have been acquired in the year - if people want to cheat then I am sad but not shocked.
  5. Don't post here very often but this pickup from California Art Con was an unexpected pleasure...I know the artist but interested in seeing if folks can identify who drew this one before I post to my CAF Enjoy! Mark
  6. I bought $500 worth of Taschen books... including this one...hope I can sneak them in the house without the wife seeing the massive box...
  7. So much easier to enter than years ago! My entries artists - Bolland, Edlund, Matania, McLusky (Bond), and Miller Mark Levy's Comic Art Gallery - Submitted for Best Of 2023 (comicartfans.com)
  8. I have this as a column in my Excel art catalog - and every once in a while,I will go pick up some of the ones where I don't have the published art.
  9. I remember being at a prominent collector's home, decades ago, and gently asking him if he had other significant wealth given he had ~$1M of art lying around - it seemed a little irresponsible/risky to have so much art without other wealth - but he had a lot of art and not much else - believe it worked out fine given price trends on his focus. As others said, if you are fortunate enough to have your first $XM, I guess the rest can be art. In any case, I I am working to reduce my % art but it is tough as I love this stuff so much - but I have been selling at CAL to reduce my percentage. When interest rates are low on cash equivalents having a lot of art doesn't have such an obvious opportunity cost - but when you can get cash on your cash, it is a bit tougher to forego those earnings. Still looking for 1971 Smith/Everett Astonishing Tales 6 page 6 - 1977 Rogers/Austin Detective - and 1977 Nova 11 pages! Mark
  10. Looks like most Mark Schultz Xenozoic Tales ever - and a lot of interesting stuff!
  11. $16.8k - record for a Bolland Preliminary I imagine...this one went high in my mind...which Bolland WW cover is more marketable better - any from 63 - 100? GCD :: Covers :: Wonder Woman (comics.org)
  12. Yeah - and how do I feel, I acquired two from you in a 2009 trade and sold one in 2013 for $280 - argh - but happy to have kept the other!
