Oh wow! I totally forgot about Comics Corral. I had the same alias here.

This is exactly what I do and have been doing. The money I have is burning a hole in my pocket & I totally get that itch to buy something. I just have to recognize this and be stronger

Thank you for this advice! And thank you to everyone who has responded to this topic, really appreciate it! Lastly, here is my CAF link for anyone that is interested: https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=164661

THIS ^ This is definitely a part of where I am…my focus is buying Batman pages & I have pages from several artists I really like & enjoy, but now I want more 70s & 80s & 90s pages.

Great questions to ask myself when I’m ready to research & buy my next page Thank you for this…

Thanks for your feedback and you are right, it’s a total block. I start getting the fever looking at so many pages I can afford & then I just buy one. i do buy about 4-6 pages a year. So to your point, I save up & buy maybe 2-3 pages a year.

This is & has been great advice. I see so many pages I like, but I have remained focused.

Thank you for this. I definitely try to hold out, but i get that itch to buy something & then eventually do what is most comfortable & buy a $500ish page

So I have been collecting comic art for only about 4 years and I love it! However, there are times where I don't love it...prices too high, a page I really liked sold, ridiculously high prices on recent flipped pages, etc. I have been mainly buying published pages around $500 and I have been enjoying the ones I have purchased. However, I feel like I want to take the next step and buy more expensive pages and/or pages from more well known artists. Ultimately, I am conflicted...I like & enjoy the pages I buy, but is my desire to want better quality/more expensive pages a true natural progression in this hobby? I'm not talking big dollars...$1K to $2K. AND In your opinion, is it better to buy pages (most likely more expensive) from more popular artists with maybe less action/less main characters or cheaper pages with better action/main characters? I'm looking to keep all pages I have & not sell them as an investment fyi. I know and have read "buy what you like" and really have adopted that philosophy, but I am curious your opinion what your progression was/is... Thanks for your input/feedback

Congrats!

Now I/we have to know... what DC issue you are looking to buy?

@themlh1138 - I have noticed the same thing. Curious, what IPhone do you have? I have a new 15 Pro & am wondering if there is a file size max on photos when posting pics

I was one of the lucky ones to buy some Batman pages before the sales window closed. Great communication throughout the process and I love the pages! Thanks @Cam Kennedy Art

Picked these up from Cam Kennedy Batman 478 Page 10 & 11
