  1. True, But I'm looking for a way to store them in an album type manner thats closest to their size. I use mylites 2 and fullbacks silver age for my comics.
  2. Hi, Wanted to find a way to store these 6x9 prints (and postcards) from comic con. They are mostly the tiny freebie prints that Dark Horse gives away during signings, which is slightly smaller then 6x9. But I've other prints that are the 6x9 size. Usually for 11x17 prints (either free or ones bought from artist alley) I'll put them in those iotoya portfolios. But I'm having problems finding a suitable portfolio for 6x9. Closest I'[ve found are these: https://www.storesmart.com/plastic-sheet-protector-7-x-9-38-open-short.html I'll have to look for a binder but size wise it looks okay. But what exactly is 6 gauge crystal clear vinyl? Is that a good item to store these prints inside? I've found items such as playbill storage but the sleeves are too small. I would like to find something similiar to the iotoya portfolios but it looks like these sleeves from storesmart are the only option I can find right now.
  3. I feel like I'm being rip off on a commission. I don't want to be negative but I paid Mid July (of 2017) and all I received was lots of promises and then being ignored. Now I'm told it's almost done and will be shipped in a few days ...for over a month. The only forum I found about a bad experience with Jim Kyle was on blowoutcards. I saw Jim Kyle's posting for 50 dollar sketch covers on FB. Googled jim's name and realized I actually have some of his books the art was raw but easy to follow. Contacted Jim asking about different rates. I like his art and figured, I'm gonna go ahead. So, I paid close to 200. Took several months and the piece is near completion. Then absolute silence for a couple of months. I would ask for an update here and there. All of them were ignored. Then on his page he announced he is starting a new commission list. In fact hes working on those pieces now. One person left a comment how happy they were that they already receive their piece from the new commission list already. A few people posted that they are on the old list waiting, Some longer then me. Then several posts appeared of people warning others they got stiffed. Which would be deleted quickly. I don't understand why he can't just finish my piece since it's near completeion. I think he does this on purpose, too many complaints of people being stiffed to be an isolated incident. It looks like he finishes most of his list and make a new list and repeat. He probably thinks it's okay since it's a few people from each list he stops working on. I guess their's nothing i can do unless anyone has any ideas?. I don't think this guy is reliable at all and telling others not to bother getting commissions from him as he obviously skip and favorite people. I hope he doesnt' stiff me on my piece but the number of complaints of being stiffed that are coming out is ridiculous. So, I'm writing this primarily as a warning to others. Though, I wanted to know if anyone else delt with Jim?
